I am surprised this has not found its way onto PPRuNe yet..... Some remarkable footage from Nis in Serbia, Looking at the Flightradar24 playback it departed at 17:02Z on Tuesday and it took 7 minutes to reach FL100 and 30 minutes to reach FL300.

It's a short video on Facebook. Unable to embed the link here. Not displayed on this site.
It's about the still active Rada Airlines Il-62 freighter. It used the full (2500 m) runway on takeoff up to the last feet.
The climb over the hill coming next looks like the challenge.

This is the most meaningful info I found:
Visit Nisremoved
You talking about this?
Edit: ok, your link was not showing up. Crazy departure, reminds me of that 727 Cargo in South America which eventually busted!

Must have been very heavy , IL62 nice clean wing designed for long range Ops, Shannon-Havana , Moscow to Beijing . Such a scary-the only word for it- take off from Serbia to where? one assumes back in Russia somewhere . Great video even more dramatic than the legendary ' Vodka burner at Canbara'
