Igor continues his quest to expose the utter absurdity that is the Russian nouveau riche....
"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," said Komsomolskaya Pravda [Russia's newspaper of record]. "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."As reported in Reuters.
