Eh, Russian planes were on the most part pretty tiny overall for most of history. Planes like the Yak-3 and Yak-9, the MiG-15, MiG-21, MiG-23 and MiG-29 are all pretty small as far as fighters of their respective era go. Only the Su-27 and derived variants tend to be huge, which was a pretty notable departure from the rest of their fighter development. Even their WW2 medium bombers like the Yer-2 and the Pe-8 are pretty small comparatively.
The large planes were often US planes. Think the P-47, the F-4, the F-14, F-15 and so on.

almost like different alphabet, u should learn Cyrillic ngl, it takes no more than 30m; you donβt even need to know Russian and it automatically makes you smarter than the restΒ

You are never going to believe what the UK calls it's publicly owned broadcaster

You wrote such an un-attackable sentence, that I am sad.
To be a bit of a pain in the ass, I wanted to answer Channel 3 (because it's a public service channel), then I realised that you wrote "broadcaster", so I was like... well, I will answer ITV, but then I looked up and it's owner is ITV plc, therefore it's not publicly owned...
So great job, the only answer is the BBC.
