if Russia is part of Europe then Europe will be the biggest continent on earth. Can you check what Your chini books says???

Its the capital Moscow which is considered as European not the whole Russia
Yes, East of the Urals and South of the Caucasian Mountains it is Asia. Russia has more land in Asia than Europe. Same thing with erstwhile USSR.

USSR was Asian, politically, 100%. That helicopter was made in the USSR.

You may want to support Chinese claims of having made the largest Asian helicopter, but please be factually correct.

Russians choose Moscow as their capital because the gravity of their country lies around it.

In most aspects, Russia is more European than Asian.
Wait, even if you go to Vladivostok, the people are mainly of European Slavic origin. Their dress, language, food is also European. Would you say Vladivostok is in Europe? No, it is in Asia.

If its European politically than Russia will be the member of NATO
Don't babble mate we all know why NATO exists! How does US qualify to be a NATO country??

Does't matter. Russia or USSR, both are more in Asia and less in Europe. So, going back to Asia's largest helicopter claims, what I said stands. The largest helicopter was made in the USSR.

Wait a minute, the argument for Russia is that part of its territory is in Asia, that's why it's also an Asian country. What about Great Britain? Part of its territory is in South America (Falklands), so is it also a South American country? :cool2:

But we are talking about Russia as a whole.

As I said, I am well informed that the territory of Russia stretches from Europe to Asia. But the fact that Russia is more European than Asian remains.

Intersting, people have to find more than one origins for Chinese weapons, which means Chinese weapons are getting more and more unique.
It isn't a weapon, it is a tech demonstrator which means Chinese weapons are still poor performing clones.

Considering the scale of achievement in space race Russians had accomplished, I am gonna say China is just doing fine by repeating what has been done by Russians. After all, there aren't many countries capable of doing that so far.
There aren't many countries who want to reinvent the wheel either. China is doing just fine wasting trillions on unprofitable ventures.

What's next? The US sent men and planted their flag on the Moon, so it is a Lunar country, right! Please talk sense.

Great Britain does not exist anymore. Yes, when the British Empire consisted of all her colonies, it was said the Sun never sets in the Queen's realm, because yes, it existed in multiple continents.

Also, The USSR, and Russia, were a contiguous and politically equivalent collection of republics, unlike Britain which had different status for UK and the rest of her territories.

But we are talking about Russia as a whole.

So that Chinese helicopter is not Asia's largest helicopter.

This is exactly the potential pitfall I am trying to point out from insisting that Russia is an Asian country just because part of its territory is in Asia. The UK example is valid since the Falkland Islands is under its sovereignty (it's legally called a "British Overseas Territory").

Why should they be appreciated for illegally producing a licensed copy of a 40yr old French helicopter with foreign engines?

Part of that territory is 2/3rd of the whole of USSR. When most of the territory is in Asia, it is more Asian than European.
