B-52? кульная железка, заверните в бумажку
Краткое содержание - на авиасалоне МАКС новый русский с телохранителями подошли к американским военным, стоявшим у В-52, и предложили его продать. Сначала амеры отказались отказались, а потом пошутили, что за $500 млн может и продадут. Цена нового русского не испугала.
Вообще сегодня на МАКСе была, судя по всему, такая инфернальная жара, что мозги там у всех расплавились
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A wealthy Russian tried to buy a U.S. B-52 bomber from a
group of shocked American pilots at an airshow near Moscow, a Russian
newspaper reported Friday.
The unidentified Russian, wearing sunglasses and surrounded by bodyguards,
approached the U.S. delegation and asked to buy the bomber, the
Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper said.
An astounded member of the U.S. delegation said the bomber was not for sale
but that it would cost at least $500 million if it were to be sold on the
spot.
"That is no problem. It is such a cool machine," the Russian was quoted as
saying by the newspaper, which said its reporter overheard the conversation.
The bomber was not sold.
Russia's new rich, who built fantastic fortunes trading commodities and
contacts after the fall of the Soviet Union, have made a name for themselves
as ostentatious purchasers of everything from British football clubs to
Faberge eggs.
