Would you fly the Russian Sukhoi Superjet? Let me know... also follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway for daily updates!
Yes I would fly it. It looks clean and comfy.
Russia and China - the "enernal emenies" 😅 We need more reportes like Josh to break the prejudices 😊
Yes, I certainly would. Many Western aircraft have had problems in the past, including Boeing, Lockheed, De havilland, McDonnell Douglas - the West has slated Russia and China since I can remember (I'm 63). However, things have changed and Russia and China should be proud of their achievements in the aviation sector. The Sukhoi Super Jet did suffer in the early days, but that seems to be properly sorted and since those events, there must have been thousands of uneventful flights, using the equipment. Let me say, I'm very fond of Russian people. Here, where I live, in Varna, Bulgaria, many Russians live here too and around 50% of Bulgarians support Russia, as a country - I do and I'm British. And just to add to that, before anyone accuses me of not knowing what I'm talking about, my wife is half Russian. As you rightly say, Josh, the only difficult thing relating to sanctions, is having to carry cash, but life in Russia, otherwise, is pretty good. I follow other YT channels of expats in Russia and they're all loving the country. Love your videos, keep up the good work Josh!
Джош изменился после России )) Жаль, что не полетел куда-нибудь во Владивосток или Южно-Сахалинск.
Bravo for you for being neutral in your reviews. I was looking forward to fly superjet when it flew for cityjet and brussels airlines. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be
Josh... I'm an American and a former Boeing employee. You have no need to apologize for giving credit to Sukhoi and COMAC for their accomplishments! Like I said... former Boeing employee at the 737 final assembly plant and I think that Sukhoi is a gorgeous aircraft!!
Здравствуйте, я один из разработчиков космического крейсера Ямато. Конечно же это правда. И я считаю, что Боинг делает лучшие пылесосы во вселенной!
@@jonasgoldenburg3154 не мойму что тебя смущает? что самолёт может быть действительно хорошим?
I really doubt you worked for Boeing
We would like to fly with this Sukhoi Superjet100, but honestly we have fear to enter this plane. So many bad reviews in the Internet regarding this plane. Till now our decision is NO. Too much fear.
@@littleowlbooks8514 2008-2017... but to be honest I couldn't care less if you believe it or not.
Some people think that because they live in a western country they deserve all. But also you find people all around the globe that they are nice and treat everybody with respect. Greetings from Mexico City.
They’re the product of their upbringing in wholesome pleasantries.
I'm a Portuguese citizen who knows something about Russia and aircraft. Your chronicle was balanced and sincere, and that is what matters to me. I started visiting Russia in 2011, every year excepting the two fist covid confination years. It's amazing the growth and progress in any field. I always was treated politely, even friendly, something not common out of Portugal. I flew innumerable times the Superjet and it has always been comfortable trip on the hands of their flight and cabin crews. Thank you.
Unless you're brown or black, then the story's different.
Являюсь командиром самолёта Эмбраер. Летал на всех реактивных типах этой фирмы. Е-190 является прямым конкурентом SSJ-100. Мне довелось побывать в этой машине. Многие мои коллеги сегодня переучились на него после Boeing и Airbus. Очень тепло отзываются о SSJ-100. Лично меня очень впечатлила огромная кабина, по сравнению с Е-190. Очень рад что в России появился такой лайнер. На подходе ещё ожидается МС-21 или Як-242. Это уже конкурент B и А.
Твои слова до Богу в уши!
I first visited Russia in 1998. Even though it was a chaotic time (currency and economic issues), I felt like I had been lied to my whole life. Growing up in Cold War/Reagan & Bush America, I was told a much different story of Russia and its people than what I found to be reality. Russia is one of the few places I have visited many times where every time the place has improved.
I completely support you. Russia is not simply different from what the Western media tells, its literally another reality from what they tell. There are still some problems with smaller cities (although they improve rapidly as well) but Moscow and Saint Petersburg are just the two BEST cities in the whole of Europe and probably among the top-10 best in the whole world.
I bet it's very beautiful and the people are nice but it's just not the safest place to be right now because of a certain guy who likes wars.
@@FinlandGuy747 "Because of a certain guy who likes wars" could describe MANY leaders of MANY countries, including my own, the US.
@@LadyBeyondTheWall I know and agree but we both know who im talking about
I felt the same way as I got to know China better. The perspective in the West on China is skewed and quite hypocritical. A lot seems to actually be transference.
There’s an old babushka somewhere in Sochi with tears of joy knowing that her fish dish is ranked number 1 by Josh Cahill
😂😂😂
Yeah, but being RuSSia, sadly someone else will take the credit.
Babushka means Grandmother right?? Is it a common word in Polish and Russian?? I heard this word from a Friend of mine who is Polish.
yeah @@arpanabinaswar1811
but babushka only speaks russian
Russia has a long hustory history of aviation excellence and innovation. Good to see they are building on that capability!
most of the technologies were stolen, but ok. Even airplane design was look-a-like
@@vm9464ofc stollen🗣️
@@vm9464may be bay?
@@vm9464 You are crazy bro!They have the best engineers in the world and many years of experience and tradition!
@GoodFella-wi7gw That's propaganda. Of course there were some good engineers, but initially, the technologies were stolen or bought.
Josh I flew back in 2013. You won't believe how amazing their service was, and the Sukhoi plane was just incredible!
4:42 Josh, I have to correct you here - Aeroflot owns the Rossija airlines (which is a part of Aeroflot group together with Pobeda) and they not sold SSJ but rather moved them to Rossija’s fleet. Yes, also due to reputation risks but also to keep Rossija active and strong on internal market. :)
SSJ is more suitable for Rossija, than Aeroflot. Aeroflot is waiting new IL-96 models
EXCELLENT video and commentary, Josh! It's definitely worth noting that in the Superjet's case, both crashes were due to pilot error and not attributed to any malfunction of the aircraft themselves. The denigration of technology other than Western is a long-standing thing; knowing statistics and the standards of production and testing in China and Russia in particular shouldn't lead to any hesitation in flying aboard their domestically-produced aircraft. I took multiple flights aboard old Soviet jetliners during the 1990s when Iived in Russia and never really had concerns about safety, despite everything that was being said in the West. Thanks for your great work!
Good Point!
Honestly, i'd probably feel far safer flying either a Russian or Chinese made jet over any jets built by Boeing (for the time being 😂).
@@justarandombirdlol same
@@justarandombird when a company is run by bean counters rather than engineers like it used to be no surprises that boeing has become a third rate joke. Not to mention being in bed with the FAA. I'd gladly fly on a c919 or a mc-21 or superjet. Time to break up the (almost) Airbus Boeing duopoly
Yes, the safety concerns about the SSJ100 appears to be entirely undeserved. According to the Wikipedia entry, it's been involved in 4 accidents, and at least 3 of them are entirely due to external causes, of which 2 are about pilots disregarding safety. And it's questionable if the fourth one has anything to with flaws in the plane itself. No, I'm not Russian. 😊
What is really a little annoying is the repetition of the thesis about the impossibility of using bank cards in Russia. What is the problem? Go to any bank and get a MIR card in 30 minutes. There are banks that will issue and bring a bank card and a contract by phone call. You will enter all your personal data into the bank's app on your smartphone. P.S. Does the banking system work at the same speed in your country?
Most people haven't realized yet that Russia is the leading country in terms of digitalized economy. And what is even more funny, is that most people doesn't even aware what digitalized economy is all about.
@@MrZlocktar Russian Service - Best service in the world (sorry, my english bad)
lol. what else? No one needs your mir card that sponsors war and sells data on a black market. Also, it's almost impossible for foreigners to retrieve money back from your "peace" card
@@MrZlocktarI think you will find that the majority of people in western nations are against this sort of thing. That’s why there is a pushback against card only use
Now explain how to connect that card to an account in a Western bank. Otherwise it is a classic suitcase without a handle for a Western tourist.
13:23 Her face when she heard “sanction”.
true 🥲
Russians are very emmotional and Patriotic people they feel the sourness in their heart when they hear something bad about anything related to their Country. As Indian I can too fell what she must have felt at the very moment when she heard the word SANCTIONS. Just like any Indian feel when the word SCAM is associated with India even if they have nothing to do with that or they may also be against that but.....
They already have sanction for many years😂😂😂
Quite controversial Josh can be sometimes. He said, one can only book a direct flight from the russian airport to europe through Serbia, yet he is there booking a direct flight to europe through Turkiye. How is that possible Josh?.. 🤔
@@4evertrue830 by booking directly with the airline
It is good that you hold people accountable for being dismissive and rude about other countries competing for a place in the industry. I thought this looked like a very nice flight. Good , fair and honest review.
However this airframe is garbage. Aeroflot’s (still the largest user by some margin) fleet manage less than 25% availability and every airline outside of Russia that had them either returned them or just stopped using them as they were so unreliable, as did two Russian airlines. Interjet in Mexico actually went bankrupt because of the issues caused by this airframe.
@@sonorbloke this is exactly what he's talking about. You'll provide no sources for these claims will u? All mindless hate
Many components from Russian and Chinese are direct rip-offs from the West. That needs to be remembered. Other than that, it's great to see.
@@sonorbloke You’re 100% correct, however, these folks are just “Haters”. Haters will just hate. Remember what they say, “If you put enough “thrust” on a crane, it will fly too”. SSJ is and was a disaster. That’s why Aeroflot gave them to Rossiya. The CPSM, due to the high fuel burn rate, makes this aircraft unprofitable in the “West”, but if you have access to unlimited fuel, then there’s no problem.
I am never going to told who is my “enemy’ by jackass Biden and the MSM.
I don't think Boeing have a right to criticize recently.Their 737 Max has horrendous recent history plus Ryanair (not that I consider Ryanair an airline more a flying bus service) are in a mess due to delays from Boeing. I for one prefer flying Airbus when I can but would certainly try Russian or Chinese should foreign airlines buy them.
One of the very few aviation journalist that is doing MORE than just aviation but also countries, people, and different views of the world. RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT.
I've been to several countries, and am now living in the Philippines, and no matter where I've been, people are people, not their governments. Also, I think it's good that other countries are getting into the commercial airline market - competition breeds a better product.
''competition breeds a better product?''...y'know I'd like to think so too, until some manufacturer starts cutting costs and corners to meet the price advantage of another.
maybe but it's the people of that country that are dying and killing in Ukraine so no sympathy for anything or anyone in russia
@@planestrainsdogsncars4336at least you got a cheaper price?😂

Wow, that landing was smooth as butter 🤤

Thank you Josh for this video!!! It was very nice to fly with you 🥰
Thanks for the great flight and nice seeing you here - all the best 😊
Oh, that’s you??? Wow!!
@@JoshCahill im glad that u respect all countries and all peoples we are Citizen of this planet
That’s the most profound thing any flight reviewers have said, about respecting the Chinese and Russian aviation industries. Not just complaining about the service, caviar and wine. This is by far your best narrated video.
I've lived or stayed in a few countries (Saudi Arabia, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Thailand) and they rarely bear much resemblance to how the media portrays them; social media make it so easy to hate people
Josh shy with the stewardess 😂
Those stewardesses must have found it as a bad joke, that a european ist coming to russia to test the airlines, while so many russians try to get out of the country and leave the opressive police state system, where you can´t even raise a blank paper without spending at least one night in jail. At least they are leaving a good impression to theier superrior officer in this video, so they probably are keeping their jobs. Making a smile to that really bad situation.
@@wingglerwiggelspecht9738 or maybe, just maaaaaaaaaaaaybe, she's just being a decent professional....maybe....
@@wingglerwiggelspecht9738 Man, you’re not right about oppressive police system in Russia, it’s not truth. Listen less to the Western media! You will not find an ideal state anywhere, but there is much more freedom in Russia than in the West, that is truth
He looked so content 😁
i think you should read the news less - it's better for your health. @@wingglerwiggelspecht9738
Josh, you were blushing big time when that stunning hostess was taking your meal order! 😅😅😅
I noticed that too 😂😂😂
I wouldn't blame him, you walk in russia and you have models all over!
I wonder how people think a country that has the biggest nuclear arsenal can't build a jet.
Russia is a terrorist state
Especially considering that it has been building them for over 100 years now and has been actually pretty good at it.
@@yurikozhokin8348 There is a big difference between a military aircraft or a civilian one. For a civilian, payback, cost of operation, and seating capacity are very important.
@@ningtanagrey9141 Russia has been building civilian aircrafts for 100 years now. All on its own, no outsourcing to the rest of the world. Yeah, they were were not the best economically, but they did the work and did it well.
Easy: certification barriers to protect EU/US products. A plane consists not only of a fuselage and an engine. There are many systems inside that need to be checked and certified to allow a plane fly over other countries. So there's no sense to invent something from scratch for a plane and spend years waiting for certification. Everyone uses main modules from well known producers. So a SSJ-100 was the same. Russian body and interior with foreign engine and avionics. It's the shortcut to certification. Same for cars. Creating a product from zero takes time and your first one should not be as good as the one from the world's leader. But it can work
I have flown on Sukhoi Superjet 100 and I love it ❤ As a passenger, I didn’t see any difference between Sukhoi Superjet and Boeing or Airbus at all during the flight. It was comfortable in airplane in all aspects 🇷🇺👍
Russia has aircraft filled with supermodels. Meanwhile, in America... we have Karens, fistfights, door blowouts...
Russia also doesn't have parts for the vast majority of their planes which has resulted in over 70% of them being grounded and also numerous accidents... But sure, worth it for the supermodels to you I guess
@@ATLPtrk70%😂
@@diceshard2436 pretty common knowledge the sanctions have destroyed Russian aviation. Even Josh, ya know the guy who’s videos your watching, has spoken about planes being grounded and many torn apart for spare parts to keep others going….
@@ATLPtrk yeah, he said that, and he also said that we steal planes, although he just didn't understand what he read in the news, and at the same time he told how we build our new planes and how Iran has been coping with sanctions for several decades and they don't work. Don't you see how every his statement contradicts the other? It seems to me that people who listen to western mainstream media develop schizophrenia. Of course, we have problems after the sanctions, but they result only in higher prices for air tickets, because spare parts can be purchased in third countries through parallel imports and what about new planes - we build them. I have a lot of friends studying in different cities here, and I also did (graduated a year ago), and we all flew and still fly by planes. Except for the price, nothing has changed. The only time I had problems was when, due to hail in my city, I had to land in the neighboring one. And Josh's flight was canceled due to weather conditions too, because he decided to fly around Russia in the winter in -20°C - a very smart thing to do. So I can assure you, there are difficulties, they result in an increased prices, but this doesn't mean that 7 out of 10 of our planes do not take off, this is absurd
Russia has country filled with supermodels
I want to visit Russia so much. Hope to get that chance one day. Thanks Josh for another great video

По-моему, ты не понял суть видео /: Но с коммента поржал, спасибо
@@user-wr7kx1ye4r Я все понял. Лет 15 все понимаю. Читаю, что они пишут, слушаю, что говорят. И даже тут, вроде адекватная позиция, что другие тоже могут делать вещи, но снисхождением прямо воняет. И так во всем. Танки - старые советской эпохи, будто абрамс 21 века, корабли союз старые и ненадежные (и в сериалах, и в сюжетах, и в видео на ютубе), и плевать, что американские космические программы убили вдвое больше людей, чем союзы. Вот именно это и есть пропаганда, где эмоции, представления и стереотипы определяют отношение, а не факты. Я уже не говорю про то, что запад закрыл свои рынки, но захватывает чужие. Если кто-то где-то что-то делает, что угрожает их доминации - сразу санкции, квоты и тд. Я с иностранцами и вживую наобщался, и никогда не покидало ощущение, что общаюсь с инфантами. Кругозор, эрудиция, практические знания - все на уровне подростков. И эго как у подростка. Высокомерие и всезнайство, не подкрепленное ничем. Говорить про суперджет на фоне еженедельных новостей и скандалов с боингами, смертью инженера, дававшего показания, - просто верх наглости. Так что я теперь им подыгрываю. Ты же не споришь с городскими сумасшедшими. Ты с ними соглашаешься. Так и тут.
@@user-pl5cf3xv7m честно говоря в этом видео я не заметил какого-либо снисходительного отношения, особенно, если посмотреть другие видео на этом канале. Напротив, он похвалил самолёт и осудил тех, кто делает, как Вы описали. Касаемо бесед с иностранцами, видимо просто мы общаемся в разных кругах. Не могу сказать, что мои знакомые Европейцы узколобые и находятся на уровне подростков. Да, их кругозор меньше, чем, например, у меня. За других я говорить не могу, привожу только свой опыт. Но при этом в сфере их деятельности они действительно являются профессионалами и знают очень много всего. А то, что танки, корабли, ракеты старые - так это просто пропаганда, как-будто у нас её никогда не было. Большинство людей или слишком глупы, чтобы строить своё мнение на информации, которую можно получить из разных источников, или слишком ленивы для этого. Для таких людей самый простой вариант просто следовать тому, что говорит им среда их жизни. Тут дело в том, что с уличным сумасшедшим спорить действительно нет смысла. Также и обсуждать какую-либо технику с людьми, которым СМИ их стран говорят, что она ужасна - смысла нет.
Мужик, видео месячной давности, всех этих новостей с боингом еще не было в таком масштабе!
Once again a great video! Love to see Russian aviation through your lense!
They've made Space Shuttles, MIGs and Sukhoi fighters for gods sake, I think they can build a passenger aeroplane
They can but are they safe? 😂 Not really
Finally someone said it.
they are more safe than boeing 😊@@jounaas
They can but it’s a simple fact that their aviation technology always relied heavily on Western technology. Oh, and the Russian Space Shuttle never flew btw ;)
@@jounaas actually there were no incidents with these planes related to mechanical failures, not a single one. The crashes mentioned in the vid are all because of pilot mistakes.
That commentary about cheering for other nations was so good! Great video Josh
This aircraft is impressive
Hats off to you for speaking out. People are quick to judge and belittle other nations, especially most of them who’ve done so have probably never stepped foot on these countries nor in the airplanes you’ve been on. There are good and bad in every countries (same with the people)
Flew the SSJ only once in 2018. From Basel to Brussel. At the time Brussels Airlines operated this type. Was a nice flight.
oh nice! bummer i missed that, basel is pretty much my home airport😵
It is so refreshing in a world of biased opinions and short-sited ideals and politics that you truly do your best to keep your personal feelings that don’t reflect airliners and travel aside and to yourself! It’s generally the people who voice the strongest opinions and beliefs the most that are the ones with very little to no experience in what they are talking about. If anyone could formulate a true opinion in those matters it’s you because you’ve experienced various cultures and political climates first hand yet you still encourage your viewers to formulate their own conclusions. This is why I love your channel so much!
Interjet, a Mexican ultra-low cost carrier operated a few Superjet 100 for a brief time but had difficulty sourcing parts. It was needless to say an interesting plane.
Josh back in the day people criticized if a product was made in Japan, that certainly is not the case anymore is it
Same story later repeated with China 🙂
@@timur3505 My only criticism of anything made in the so called "People's" Republic is how much of that money is directly into the regime and it's military... Absolutely no issue with anything made in the Republic of China (that's Taiwan)

@@inisipisTV Yeah.... They do and they do it cheaply BECAUSE of the tyrannical Government. 1989 should of been a pivotal year.... When the citizens of the so-called "People's" Republic on the mainland cried out for freedom they were met with tanks, solders, and mass arrests. When the Chinese living on Taiwan cried out for freedom... They were met with elections, and the Republic of China became a nation of the People!!!! I will pay extra and go out of my way to avoid buying PRC, but the actual ELECTED Chinese government on Taiwan? I have no issues spending my money on goods made in the Republic
@@andreworiez8920 They've called themselves "people's" republic, you think you're live in "democratic" state and that the "Republic of China", that is Taiwan as we all know it - somehow better 😄... If you're young enough that's understandable 🙂.
Well said Josh. Respect other cultures and the people who live in them. Politics is one thing thing of course, but people are people, and no normal person would wish a war. I have been fortunate to travel the world extensively in my 68 years on this earth, and always, always respect the culture and the people who's country I'm visiting. The so called warriors on X and other social media platforms are ignorant of anything outside of their own very little and boring world and seem to think they know it all and spew their horrible rhetoric to others. Sadly, other follow which makes this small world we live in, not a very nice place in 2024 sadly. Please keep up the great work you do, and truly hope some of your words of wisdom make the warriors think that maybe they should get a life.
0:17 Indonesia - a disaster due to the fault of the controller, he gave a low altitude, the plane crashed into a mountain in heavy fog. second crash - hard vertical landing, pilot error
In Indonesia, the pilot ignored the TWAS of the aircraft... which should have raised him some concerns (when you hear "Terrain, pull up!" you should, first, PULL UP and than try to see why you got the warning), regarding what the controller was telling him. This showed that Russians actually made a plane with good safety systems on board, but the test pilot just thought himself better (or he didn't trust his plane... even if he had on board representative from companies interested in buying the plane).
Keep documenting everything that you see , Josh. Even with your grandmother being a Ukranian, you’re still giving Russia a chance. That’s big of you. You’re the right guy for this job. Agree 100% on belittling other nations.

Great review, interesting thoughts, finally someone who is not afraid to say things how they are. That’s what journalism is all about
Josh, you are by far my favorite. You aren’t fake. Your videos are non bias, and extremely informative. Keep up the great work!
When flying from Saint Petersburg to Moscow last year, I made sure to book a Superjet flight on Rossiya for my first experience on this hot rod aircraft. True that these jets aren't decked out with outlets and entertainment, but for a shorter flight I loved the airplane. I'm sure you were impressed by that sporty takeoff, as was I! Rossiya is owned by Aeroflot, which in better times was my favorite airline. They always did right by me in a friendly and professional manner, and always served me good food!
I flew A321-232, NEO, 737-200 and 800 on many occasions. None have had USB ports. I prefer phones and devices that last more than half a day before needing a charge-up lol
It hurts when people of other countries belittle a nation's efforts. Hurts a lot more when countrymen do the same with their our country and the arguments are rarely technical or logical. Just bigoted and abusive. Thanks for your open mind. I always had a soft corner for the Superjet. Glad to see you enjoyed the flt. Hoping against hope that other airlines pick it up as well.
I mean people should respect achievement from all around the globe regardless if its not even from western part of the world.... Great video Josh
Josh...thank you for your thoughts and words at the end of this post, I could not agree more!!
Really enjoyable and enlightening vid, Josh, this world needs more people with your attitude. In my younger days I travelled a lot (58 countries & all continents except Antarctica) and visited Russia (USSR then) on several occasions and by and large found the Russian people some of the friendliest and hospitable people I have have been fortunate to meet. Looking forward to upcoming posts. Good luck to you.
Josh, I'm a subscriber from Mumbai. I think you're doing a really great job of documenting the aviation and the real world. Your thoughts come from an honest and truthful place and that's what I appreciate the most in your videos. You visit and check out the place for yourself and only then do you give an opinion. More power to you! Well done with this Sukhoi review. I would have loved an economy class review but I'm sure you'll have a video for that too. All the best!

@@PollyDVB Thank goodness Josh wasn't in his usual attire - wearing shorts!
What was that body language? 😂
That's it I'm booking a flight to Russia.
She’s stunning
Thanks for this vlog! Fly and safe travels. Have an amazing week. Cheers.
The Sukhoi jet seems lovely, though a bit loud. The cabin crew is lovely. I flew on a Rossiya 747-400 between Crimea and St. Petersburg, and it was a great experience. I'm not really going to comment much on the accomplishments of other countries with regards to aviation. I will say that, while it should be noted that other countries still rely a lot on western technology to build their aircraft, we must also acknowledge the fact that these western companies rely on foreign engineering talent, so it all works together.
Great video Josh, I really like your attitude toward up and coming aviation in non western countries. I've really enjoyed your Russian adventure.
thank you for bringing up and talking abt the casual racism which takes place on social media
Agreed
👍
Agreed, if anything the product of Indigo and service of Aeroflot, and some Chinese airlines are much better than Western analogues in my experiences.
Nothing compared to KZhead. Cept now they just put you in KZhead jail for 24hours
beautiful comments about Russia, china and india. respect from Pakistan
I’m a Brit with Russian family. Thanks for being fair to the country and aircraft. Kudos
Josh, You received excellent service from the crew. The Superjet's cabin is very well appointed and very quiet . Thank you sharing this trip with us.
the crew was very beautiful 😍😍😍
I love flying planes that are different! I was trying to Fly the comac when I was over in China and would love to try the Sukhoi
Another great video, Thank you Josh.
Thanks for taking us along Josh, great vlog as usual. See the human side of every trip!
I flew a couple of times in 2018/2019 on Brussels Airlines (Leased from Cityje t 🇮🇪). Sukhol Superjet, Nice jet, but it had unreliability problems, The jet I flew to Edinburgh had been in maintenance for 4 days previously On the return flight, 5 days later it was a different Superjet , Outbound jet had been grounded for various tech issues.
Josh says it’s better than ANY Boeing or Airbus jet
Most likely maintanance problems. It's not that easy for Sukhoi to establish such servicing network as Boeing or Airbus abroad.
Комплектующие попали под санкции. Невозможно было провести техобслуживание.
Thank you for yet another excellent video, Josh. The Sukhoi SSJ looks like a really nice aircraft, and I hoped it would provide good competition to Embraer. Sadly it looks like that won't happen soon. It is also great that Russia and China want to compete with A & B in building airplanes. I hope they succeed. Regarding the India moon landing, most of the nasty comments came from one country only and it is easy to guess which that is. Even that country's leaders made silly comments about it. But good that India did not care.
Thanks for the video. Very honest review 👍
I did not flown on Sukho SJ i, but one friend of mine flew to Russia on a Sukhoi Superjet plane with Red Wings Airlines. he liked the plane as well
A few Suhoi SuperJet planes flew for a few years for Brussels Airlines, I think until 2019. I don't know what engines did they have, but eventually Brussels Airlines cancelled the lease contract due to low disponibility of the planes (apparently, spare parts were hard to get from Russia).
Funny thing is they had Russian-French engines, and most of the troubles were with French-made hot section.
Нас лишили иностранных комплектующих.
Great video! I am really glad you took a few minutes to remind people to be humble in their comments.
The crew is super nice. Haven't seen one like this for a long time...
Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Josh!
In the west, the US, specifically, there seems to be this notion that success is finite, and we shouldn't let anyone else have any. I am still an absolute Boeing fan boy, but if it takes better competition for Boeing to straighten up, all the better.
It's a bit unfortunate that boeing had to kill 360 people as part of their Max development program.
I had a great holiday in Russia years ago. Every single person l met was lovely, kind and welcoming.
Good going Josh well documented and good review 👍🏽
Good food,skinny flight attendants, new plane. Why would I want that?
Hi Josh! Excellent video about Russian SuperJet) But I offer you try to fly on AN-24 or AN-2 in Yakutsk. Because firstly Yakutsk the coldest city in the world. The second that AN-24 on of the oldest aircraft which is operated by airlines. Probably you will be scared to perform it😂 But I think it’ll be really interesting and incredible video. Hopefully you see this comment) Like this comment guys)
Well said Josh, so very true. Thank you, love your channel ❤
Love you, Josh! Great perspective on other nations and their ability to compete.
"don't belittle other nations efforts...and be respectful to each other....".... Thank you Josh 👍👍👍
Thank you for being honest ❤
100% agree with your comments Josh
Spot on Josh regarding your take on other countries making advancements. In the states sometimes we have this attitude that things are only ok or of value as long as we’re the ones doing them. Shouldn’t be that way.
its so true. There is nothing wrong with making jokes, but we should never see others as below us we should cheer everyone up no matter their position, state or power.
👍
3:16 What? Escape the mobilization? You're 1,5 years late, it was back in October 2022.
He saw it in a CNN report and He just repeated it. Stereotypes have always guided ignorant foreigners about us. It's the same now...
Your videos are excellent! Keep us informed, pls. Many thanks from Sao Paulo, Brazil
Thanks for sharing your kind words
Politics needs to have no place here so thank you so much! Part of what I love about this channel is I can just escape the world and it's issues
I agree. Russian and Chinese airlines should be allowed in the "competition".
Saya dari Indonesia Ikut sedih ada Sukhoi Superjet 100 pernah jatuh di negara kami dan menjadi tidak populer pesawat itu dipilih di negara kami. Semoga dengan video ini banyak maskapai Indonesia mau membeli SSJ100
Thank ypu for your beautiful words at the end
Doubting Russia's prowess in building aircrafts is crazy, they have a legacy of getting insane concepts into fruition, really an intelligent bunch behind the design board there. Thank you for calling out on the over indulgence of frankly racist jokes.
Yeah, but you forget most of that was during a different time and with a different mindset. Now everything has changed.
@@panzerkeks8530 Yeah the economy is growing even more than before. I was just there and it seems as though the country is going through a boom.
@@michaelg3671I would question that. Russia’s economy is completely overheating. The only thing which drives the Russian economy is defense related. Not really healthy nor sustainable
@panzerkeks8530 to a degree yes but it is largely cope too given the experts all predicted the economy would contract by 15-20%. All of this growth would have been impossible if Russia had not continued to generate colossal revenues from its energy resources, agriculture exports and metals despite sanctions. Debt it still very very low for them and after visiting 5 cities a few months ago I realised they have managed well contray to what we all expected. I am more concerned about my own country entering recession and crime increasing tbh.
@@panzerkeks8530How is the European economy doing?
Southwest Airlines Pilots flew almost 40,000 flights with the MAX prior to the grounding, which is more than 89,000 flight hours. Since the grounding was lifted Southwest Airlines have flown over 312,000 flights which accounts for almost 1 million flight hours with no issues because the PILOTS know how to FLY an aircraft without all the “bells and whistles”, i.e. “computer flies the aircraft”. Isn’t in strange that the flight crews involved in the “deaths” were as young as 21? Pilot error was ultimately the cause of those deaths. Single Sensor MCAS, maybe bad design, but the pilots should have disabled MCAS and auto-trim and FLEW the plane. MCAS maintenance by the airline wasn’t performed after being written up in Lion Air crash and totally unprofessional piloting in Ethiopia’s crash. Disappointed in your comments.
Excellent flight and commentary!
Wonderful comments. What makes all of us and all our countries better is competition. The competition to build something better and more efficient and proud.
By talking so much about putting politics aside and personal opinions, you’ve made it political.
He kind of did, didn't he? Can't resist it himself and doesn't realize that's not something he should even touch upon since he is no political analysts and doesn't understand why conflicts occur.
Congratulations on making it out of Russia! Other western journalists haven't been so lucky. I flew the SSJ100 from MIA to CUN on Interjet. The plane was almost brand new, but many parts of the passenger cabin were broken or inoperative. The airline cited the SSJ as one of the main reasons they went bankrupt.
You mean Ukraine. American journalist Gonzalo Lira was muirdered in Ukraninas prison a month ago.
@@fatherofchristmasyou mean this failed pick-up artist and Russian propagandist?
@@fatherofchristmas No, Navalny.
@@alyonapetrova694 Both Ukranian and Russian officials say your guy died of a blood clot.
@@fatherofchristmas Laughingly, his body had bruise marks, open wounds, kept him in a 4’ cell, and held the body until all forensics wouldn’t be able to determine how much “Novichok” was used or “Plutionium”. Keep inhaling that “Copium”
Josh, I love your honesty and sincerity. Lets not forget that Ilyushin and Tupolev aircraft opened up a huge area of the world. Western aircraft companies had never considered the operation of commercial aircraft in the climatic conditions that these aircraft were built for. Forget the politics and give credit where it's due. Keep up your unbiased opinions please
Thank you for.being human, polite, friendly, open minded, sincere and balanced. Love is all what the world need.
0:10 Did you say a troubled past with two fatal crashes? I guess it's doing OK if we can use the obsolete 737-Max design as our comparator?
He literally mentions that later in the video if u bothered to watch it in full
@@smilesmite6682 My first time ever being slightly frustrated and not watching the entire Josh Cahill video... I have a soft spot for the Sukhoi Design Bureau and Josh Cahill so short-circuited...
@@Michael.Chapman ?? Yeah if u watched the whole video he literally went on a mini rant about western double standards in regards to Russian and Chinese aircraft while the 737MAX had all its issues but u didn’t bother to watch that.
@@smilesmite6682 that’s all great! However the first words out of Josh’s mouth were critical of Sukhoi-I switched off, that’s my prerogative.
@@Michael.Chapman Uhm it wasn’t critical at all it was an introduction to the video, meant to ask the question is this a good plane to fly, and then that question was answered later in the video, you are acting really childish about this I won’t lie.
Airport announcer sounded like Vlodymir Zelensky. We go through the most unimaginable ...Hardships ...To get you to your destination! Oh. By the way ... Slava Ukraine!
Thank you for the lecture.
Great video,Josh,👏👏👏
