Low-Flying Russian Military Helicopter Overtakes Cars

You’re not supposed to engage in the overtaking maneuver if the car behind you is trying to pass you as well. But what if that car wasn’t really a car at all?
“What is it then, a bike, a truck?” you’re going to ask us. No, it’s not, because this is the Russian corner of our news section, where all sort of wacky stuff can happen when you least expect it.

We’ve already seen a Russian fighter jet coming from the opposite direction, low and fast like a bat out of hell. Now, we’re going to show you a video of a Russian military helicopter overtaking a bunch of cars on the highway.

By the looks of things, it’s an MI-8, which can be used as an air ambulance or to transport officials. Or this could just be the way in which Russians deter you from speeding - helicopter gunships.
