Corvalol (Corvalolum) is a sedative drug developed in the USSR based on phenobarbital. It also contains ethyl ester of α-bromoisovaleric acid and menthol. It is similar in action to valocordin, both drugs have a similar composition. Currently, Corvalol, like valocordin, is considered obsolete. There is no scientific evidence of effectiveness.
Description
α-Bromizovaleric acid ethyl ester
Corvalol is a Soviet analogue of the German valocordin, from which it differs in minor components. The main active ingredient of both drugs is the potent narcotic phenobarbital from the barbiturate group. Due to the very low dose of phenobarbital, Corvalol is sold in Russian pharmacies without a prescription, although in the 21st century proposals were made twice in the Russian government to make it prescription.
Corvalol in the USSR became a traditional medicine and retained this status in the post-Soviet space.
Il-78Il-78 (according to NATO codification: Midas) is a Soviet tanker aircraft. It was created on the basis of the Il-76MD aircraft and is intended for air refueling of military aircraft. Equipped with a hose-cone air filling system. Currently, this is the only specialized type of tanker aircraft in service with the Russian Air Force. It can also be used as a military transport aircraft (lost this ability in the Il-78M modification).

An-12
An-12 (product "T", according to NATO codification: Cub - "Novichok") - Soviet military transport aircraft. Developed at the Antonov ASTC in the 1950s.
History of creation
Presumably, the development of the An-12 aircraft was initiated by N. S. Khrushchev during a visit to the Antonov Design Bureau (AKB). During the inspection of the An-8, the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee asked what analogues were available abroad, and after he learned that all aircraft of this class are equipped with four engines, he expressed the opinion that aircraft with four engines should also be made in the USSR. After that, Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov conceived the future An-12.

Mi-8 (V-8, product "80", according to NATO codification: Hip - "Hip") is a Soviet / Russian multi-purpose helicopter developed by OKB M. L. Mil in the early 1960s.
The most massive twin-engine helicopter in the world (in total, more than 12 thousand copies of all modifications were built); included in the list of the most massive helicopters in the history of aviation.
Widely used in more than 50 countries around the world for a variety of civil and military tasks. Mi-8 helicopters, as a rule, have a dual purpose, as indicated in the type certificate; in Russia, military helicopters can only be sold by the state company Rosoboronexport, which is part of the Rostec corporation. All other helicopters that are on sale are for civilian purposes only.
An-22An-22
An-22 "Antey" ("product 100", according to NATO codification: Cock - "Rooster") - Soviet heavy turboprop transport aircraft, the world's first wide-body and the world's largest turboprop aircraft.
It is designed to transport heavy and large-sized weapons, military equipment and troops over long distances, as well as to parachute and land airborne assaults. The first flight was made in 1965. Serially produced 69 copies, including two for strength testing. It was used in the USSR Air Force, continues to be used in the Russian Air Force and the Ukrainian airline "Antonov Airlines".

An-26
An-26 (according to NATO codification: Curl - "Whirlwind") is a Soviet military transport aircraft developed at the Antonov Design Bureau, a modification of the original An-24 model.
The An-26 is equipped with two AI-24VT turboprop engines and one additional RU-19A-300 jet engine installed in the right main engine nacelle. Thanks to the large width of the cargo hatch opening (2.4 m) and the installation of a special ladder-leaf, convenient loading is possible both from the ground and from the car body, which greatly speeds up and facilitates loading and unloading operations. The largest aircraft in its class.
In China, the Xian Y-7, based on the An-26, was developed and produced.
Currently, the An-26-100 passenger modification with a capacity of up to 43 people is in operation. The aircraft were converted into passenger ones at the factory from the basic cargo modification and have the disadvantage of the absence of luggage racks. A total of 1403 aircraft of this type were built.
