Russia Wall Art

Russia — 21 museum-grade prints drawn from its heritage. Luna 25 reopened Russia's Luna programme after a gap spanning the entire Space Shuttle era, the International Space Station assembly, and the rise of commercial lunar ambitions. The mission's south pole target placed Russia in direct competition with India's Chandrayaan-3 — which achieved south pole landing weeks later — and with NASA's Artemis campaign targeting the same polar regions for water-ice resources. The Kamov Ka-52 Alligator — NATO reporting name Hokum-B — evolved from the single-seat Ka-50 Black Shark into a two-seat reconnaissance-attack platform with side-by-side crew seating and Kamov's signature coaxial counter-rotating rotor system, eliminating a conventional tail rotor. Fielded from 2011 into Russian army aviation service, it carries 9K121 Vikhr and 9M120 Ataka anti-tank missiles plus a side-mounted 2A42 30 mm cannon for day-night, all-weather close support. The Mil Mi-24 Hind entered Soviet service in the early 1970s as the world's first purpose-built gunship helicopter with a troop cabin — NATO reporting name Hind, Russian nickname Krokodil for its armoured snout profile. It combined transport capacity for eight soldiers with wing-mounted rockets, anti-tank guided missiles, and a flexible nose gun system, making it the backbone of Soviet forward aviation through Afghanistan and beyond.
