Russian documentary on cold war bombers (English voiceover)

I just stumbled upon this in the related videos sidebar of youtube after watching a video tutorial for level bombing with the Blenheim in CoD.

It provides an outlook on the development of most (if not all) the cold war strategic bombers of the former USSR while mentioning contemporary developments in western countries.

It's episode 6 of an 18 part documentary called Wings of Russia and looking at the ending credits, it seems there's stuff about WWII as well. Hopefully the rest will also be dubbed in English, because i intent to watch all of them. It's not only interesting to see the different perspectives on certain issues, the main selling point is that it features loads upon loads of footage that i've never seen anywhere else.

The bombardier's station in a Tu-22? It's there (actually, i think it's the video's thumbnail displayed above). Pavel Sukhoi at his old age in a designer's meeting? He's there. Footage from the biggest ever nuclear test in history, the 50Mt H-bomb dropped in the Russian arctic? It's there too (and if you're in a hurry and want to see the fireworks, skip to the 37:20 mark). The episode is almost 53 minutes long.

I hope the rest of the series has English voice overs and is as rich in content, because there's some very interesting stuff in there, like Ekranoplans, different episodes for different eras of fighter development, helicopters, front line bombers and Sturmoviks, etc.

The guy's channel is full of Russian military documentaries (mostly, but not all about Russian/ex-Soviet stuff, for example, i caught a glimpse of a video about F-18s), but i don't know if/how many are translated. In this regard i'm luckier than you are, because the guy is living in Greece and has obtained his higher education here (probably an immigrant or repatriated Greek) and many of his videos feature Greek subtitles.

Just have a look in his channel, looks like a gold mine for history geeks like us

Edit: I'm just under the impression that the video section is for gameplay videos so i posted here. However, if this should be in the video section, tell me and i'll move it.
