Jet Engines on Trucks (For Fun and Profit)

Wow I did not know jet engines could be used for such a purpose lol. MiG-15 engines used to de-ice planes and remove ice from runways yes.

Snow-Blowers From Hell, and more...

The picture of a rusted Soviet truck with a mounted jet engine (see our recent Biscotti issue) provoked lots of interest from our readers, so we decided to make a full page about such monstrous machinery.

First of all, full disclaimer - they're not dormant Decepticons or armies of malevolent AI ready to tackle the world at the first notice. They are simply snow-blowers and jet-dryers used at some Russian airports, like the ones shown below - with Klimov VK-1 engines taken from MiG-15 planes.

This is cool, but I had a totally different idea when I heard "Jet engines mounted on trucks"
