In Russia, engines from old fighter jets like the MiG-15 are being repurposed for an unusual task: snow removal. In regions with heavy snowfall, these engines are specially modified and mounted on trucks. These powerful jet engines can quickly clear large amounts of snow with strong airflow. This method, particularly effective for clearing airport runways, offers both speed and efficiency. This creative use of old technology provides a novel solution for snow removal.
