| Agricultural is the right word,large rivets with lots of double clad alloy panels,lots of undercarriage bogies on the big jets with a real belt and braces approach,however their large multi-lift helicopters are still some of the finest rotary winged engineering feats in the world apart from the Sikorsky Skycrane,the big Mil's still hold the altitude record for helicopters,those huge rotors are awesome.
Russian engineering is quite unique,aviation-wise even more so.
