One lousy thing about Russian planes is the same bloody colour and paint gets repeated every single time.

You have to be really deeply interested in Aviation to be able to appreciate Russian aircrafts and ignore the paint scheme.

But even keen people need respite bhai.

Why can't you and even Indians or perhaps all Asians do it like this.

These people have a history of these things.
They even wrote a book about it.

Russian paint schemes are beautiful, but beauty is not relevant.
Painting schemes like weapons themselves are only a tools for Russian Army and VKS, so there are no PR approaches, just naked effectiveness and functionality present.
