I am choosing not to comment as to 'Safety Oversight' however the human aspect of the recent air show crash in Ukraine and this further Moscow incident is all too real...

...there is little or no provision for pensions/compensation for the victims/families of these disasters...right or wrong we can argue separately...

Without a bread winner in Russia/NIS life is tough for the dependants...standard Air Force pension is $12 per month...

God rest all that lost their lives...and may all of us in the industry pull together to help them...they are not aliens they are people in our industry...and very nice people in my experience...

Yes I am angry as all too easy to criticise...but how many of us are actually helping???

PS. A Klimov on reheat produces smoke regardless of reheat or not as do most Russian engines...
