Rich Russian tries to buy U.S. bomber at air show

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A wealthy Russian tried to buy a U.S. B-52 bomber from a group of shocked American pilots at an air show near Moscow, a Russian newspaper reported on Friday.
The unidentified Russian, wearing sunglasses and surrounded by bodyguards, approached the U.S. delegation and asked to buy the bomber, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper said.
An astounded member of the U.S. delegation said the bomber was not for sale but that it would cost at least $500 million (249.5 million pounds) if it were to be sold on the spot.
"That is no problem. It is such a cool machine," the Russian was quoted as saying by the newspaper, which said its reporter overheard the conversation. The bomber was not sold.
Russia's new rich, who built fantastic fortunes trading commodities and contacts after the fall of the Soviet Union, have made a name for themselves as ostentatious purchasers of everything from British football clubs to Faberge eggs.


The Russian was trying to buy the B-52 as if he was buying a toy.

Kenapa dia berminat nak beli bomber B-52..sedangkan banyak lagi pilihan yang ada.
Lagipun diorangnya bomber TU-160 Blackjack/Whiteswan lagi lawa dan moden.
Kalau aku, aku rembat Blackjack..dah lama berkenan.
