How fucking drunk were the pilots, atleast in the show there's thicc black smoke

Apparently some of the dosimeters broke because of the radiation, and those things are built just to measure radiation

They each only did 3, maybe 4 drops at most. The average was like 3.58 - not great, not terrible.

Was there actually a smart scientist man in real life to tell them not to fly directly over the core?

de la brua :DD

>getting in a vehicle when the only thing keeping you in the air is exposed to everything and if practically any disturbance happens you are in serious danger

Probably?

i've operated satellites which have radiation hardened electronics and they routinely get fucked by radiation (especially over south america)
those helicopters probably had some form of transistors in them (vac tubes?) and all those charged particles and ionizing radiation would fuck the living shit out of those, activate them even then the pilots are not doing anything.

what do you think radio waves are

yes
this shit with a bunch of autistic retards trying to disprove everything from the miniseries is getting annoying
the one true flaw is that 1000 scientists into one character that just doesn't work because she just knows everything about everything

kek

Why didn't they just fly the eagles over the exposed reactor core?

I thought all Soviet aircrafts relied on electro-mechanical systems instead of electronic system like American planes because of the Soviet leadership was so concerned about military infrastructure being disabled from the post-nuclear explosion EMP (electro-mechanical systems continue to function in EMP while pure electronic systems can fail).

Of course it fucking can't

BECAUSE THEN YOU DON'T HAVE A JOURNEY

>They lost rotor mobility and and instrument readings because they got too close.
>instrument readings
Are those things fly by wire? How is an instrument going to tell you you're getting too close to a crane or guy wires or whatever they were colliding into? Wouldn't that big heavy bucket have it's own forward momentum? Maybe they were just trying to get it in a really close spot and didn't account for that and it literally pulled them into the crane....

Right, which is why they didn’t fully crash right then and there. It still messed up some of their electronics and they were flying blind without any additional assistance. Also as others have mentioned there were other flybys they did so they were also experiencing fatigue/disorientation from radiation.

vacuum tubes are nuclear safe

>How fucking drunk were the pilots
About one Slav

The fuck do vacuum cleaners have to do with anything?

Helicopter pilots are a special breed.

what information could the truck driver possibly have that the pilot needed

"what road is this? does this lead to (x city)?"
It looks like they're in the middle of nowhere with no landmarks except for that road to follow. If they've lost their GPS, and are navigating manually, following a road would be a very sensible way to get back to a landmark.

a brand new freshly made smoking gun in the Russia Probe. He's For Her and was trying to get directions to nearest Spirit Cooking meet-up to deliver it

he didn't fly so good

They were dead anyway, hovering right above the core, they took maximum radiations.

It hit the fucking crane you retards.

Did any of the other pilots die from radiation?

>literally every vehicle ever

>crashes
>immediately bursts into flames

fucking hollywood man

Wtf happened? Did the helicopter accidentally shoot a missile?

>tfw pilot combat logs when you're pulling some mvp shit and literally the whole other team is enraged they can't kill you because he's just that good but he sends his packets by carrier pigeon and now you're fucked

Those guys were walking dead anyway right, flying over the core?

looks like he was supposed to hit something further down range and shot at the wrong target

oh i remember this map in BF4. It's like the only one you can get really good kills with that gay AA tank thing

dropped like a walrus lmao

Yes no shit. But do you think a trained pilot would just fly straight into a fucking crane? Avionics were clearly fucked by the intense radiation.

>gay AA tank thing
Tunguska?

I always heard they drifted into the cables because of acute radiation poisoning after flying through a hotspot.

Accidentally fired rockets.

because it lost control due to radiation.

what avionics are going to prevent you from hitting a crane or guy wires? It looks like that bucket or whatever is dropping liquid cement for the sarcophagus. It's heavy is fuck and probably pulled them into it due to is forward momentum. How many heli pilots drop giant
buckets of cement?

Based.

The pilots were actually safer in the air but the guy who filmed it died from the radiation.

>Chernobyl helicopter crash. The Chernobyl disaster of 23 April 1986 occurred when one of the nuclear reactors at the Chernobyl power station in the Ukraine (then part of the USSR) went into meltdown, causing an explosion. Helicopters were used to cover the reactor with sand, lead and boric acid. Later, a large sarcophagus structure was built to contain the reactor. This crash of an Mi-8 helicopter occurred on 2 October 1986 when the rotors clipped a crane cable. The pilot and three crew members were killed in the crash. This footage was obtained by film-maker Vladimir Shevchenko, who later died from the effects of radiation exposure.

how does the tail fall off immediately?

why didn't they use the crane to dump the sand? the operator cab wouldn't have been over the reactor.

They didn't see the cables and apparently neither do any of you retards. WATCH IT AGAIN you FUCKING idiots

The tail rotor is there to counter the main engine, main engine fails = the force of the tail rotor causes the tail to snap.

Should've just slowed it down and put the "wasted" meme over it.

yes, obviously they crashed into something. That's not the question. It's a question of why and I don't see how irradiated electronics would cause that to happen in an aircraft that isn't fly-by-wire
