A MI-26 helicopter was spotted in the air above Saint Petersburg with a very unexpected cargo as the sturdy chopper was carrying … a massive military fighter jet.
The footage of the unusual sighting was posted by several users on social media. Russia’s Channel 1 later said that the transported plane was actually a Su-27 air superiority fighter jet.
The commentators online joked that “the jet must’ve simply run out of fuel and was lifted to the nearest petrol station by the helicopter” and that the pigeons, which were also in the footage, must’ve been “in shock” after witnessing such a display.
