fine.
I remember Vakula was yelling back then:
"Oh, dear, dear, we're going to crash!"
Let's drink to Ivanovich then?
Let's. Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Oi, dear, dear, oi!
- Vakula, you had a granddaughter born.
- Well?
To the granddaughter then?
Listen, why did the daughter give birth so soon?
Before the wedding she already had a tummy.
- To the granddaughter!
- To the grandfather.
Oi, dear, dear... oi!
Sergey, when in February is your birthday?
the 23rd...
The Day of Soviet Army.
Thank you.
My mother-in-law's is on the 29th.
To the mother-in-law then!
- When are you gonna find a bride?
- As if I can find anyone here.
They all walk around covered with bags here.
Listen, Sergey...
Only give me an honest answer...
Did you have anything with Ninka?
With Nina?
I didn't have anything.
No, Ivanovich, if you mean that particular incident...
no... no... then she came herself,
with a cleavage... all exposed.
She had a bottle of champagne,
the cake "Fairytale" with roses on it...
the cabin was small, as you understand...
Give me a bottle of water.
What are you laughing at Vakula?
Where's Vladimir Ivanovich?
Vladimir Ivanovich betrayed us.
We need to change a wheel. It has a flat tire.
Does a MiG airplane have a speed of 1000 km?
What are you standing around for?
We need to change a wheel.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon...
roll it... towards me.
Taxiing area. The tower is here.
One anti-aircraft gun. Another one - over here.
Usually no one there.
Take-off ramp ends right at the minefield,
so either we fly or we...
We fly!
We fly.
The hangar holds 4 fighter aircraft,
2 Sukhois in encasements, 2 old MiGs not encased.
They'll catch up to us.
They only have fuel for 1 hour. If they fly
20 minutes later, they'll catch up to us in 40,
that's a point of no return.
What do we do about them?
There's about 40 of them there.
Well...
lure a couple into the plane
and we'll have two machine guns.
We'll raise noise.
In half an hour, today's Friday they have Namaz,
they're all going into that tent over there to pray.
You should read the Koran.
Everything's ready, Vladimir Ivanovich,
we can change the wheel.
There's someone there.
Where, who?
I'll take a look.
Where? Get back!
Where?
Can I ride?
What's it to you, I haven't ridden for a year.
Listen.
You have my watch... it's Swiss...
and I'll do a couple of circles, alright?
I'll ride just a little bit and that's it.
Why are you standing? He'll do everything himself.
Let's get to work.
- That's it.
- They will shoot you for this, Vitya!
I haven't ridden for 9 months.
- I'll give it back right now.
- They'll shoot! Don't!
Super!
I'll be quick and will give it back.
Can you do this?
I haven't ridden without hands in a long time,
I need to ride in a straight line, understand?
In a straight line.
I'll be done in a sec!
Just a little bit left.
There's nobody there,
just a dummy and that's it.
They're not leaving!
Let's get in place... and start.
No, you cannot start it.
We need to start all engines
to warm them up.
It can blow up, it'll tear the whole airport apart.
Translate.
- Generators on board.
- Yes!
Launch VSU.
- Where's Vladimir Ivanovich?
- He knows what he's doing.
- Launch the feed.
- VSU is on.
Turn on the engines.
In the order: 2,3,4,1.
2nd engine is on.
VSU is dead.
What?
VSU has died.
The leader is asking... are you going to take long?
You changed the wheel, and we need to go.
We need a generator. VSU needs to cool off,
and then we'll launch it again... that's it.
How long to cool off?
20 minutes...
till you get the generator here.
20 minutes.
Sergey... let's go for a smoke.
Don't hurry... don't start all the engines right away
Sublevel 1900. Heat over 50.
The turbines can't handle it.
Start one and then in order all the rest.
They're not leaving for prayer.
You said they will. But they're not.
Do you know what the weather's like in Kazan?
- You have 30 minutes.
- Maybe
