Extremely cool footage of some old Soviet combat planes in a Cold War atmosphere.
Here’s a really interesting footage filmed by a quadcopter drone with some surreal close ups of MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-22, MI-8, L-29 Delfin and a Ilyuschin plane at the Aviation Museum in Finowfurt, near Berlin, Germany.
Finowfurt is an old Soviet military airbase that nowadays is being used as a museum where planes on display are being restaurated one by one.
