It’s such dark times that I really wasn’t too keen on watching it right now, but I started anyway. The awesome editing, particularly the transitions and music, actually cheered me up. Thank you! And it was very interesting too. The MiG-9 had some serious and almost comical problems with its gunnery too.

I know. This video was supposed to be released in the beginning of Feb. That is why it doesn't correspond with what we all are going through right now. The main reason I decided to post it anyway is that 100% OF THE AD REVENUE from this video will be DONATED to Ukrainian charities, divided equally between "Come Back Alive" (https://savelife.in.ua/en/donate/) and "Revived Soldiers Ukraine" (https://www.rsukraine.org/), which helps with Ukrainian soldiers’ rehabilitation.

I've now given to both of those directly, thank you for the suggestions. I hope any of your family and friends that are in Ukraine stay safe.
