curious you Soviet experten if anyone again knows just where the footage was taken place..........yes I know could be anywhere
Nothing to prove, nothing to hide here.

Some of the Soviet designs, which were considered being superior to the Me-262, had "parts" or aspects directly inspired of the Me-262. Like for US designs, the Me-262 influenced USSR designs (especialy the turbojet).

It's just that they were better than the "vanilla" Me-262, and that's the reason why it was decided to go further with these designs (Mig 9 and Yak 15), instead of producing copies of the 262.

About the location, I wonder why you ask lol

But the most probable answer is Chkalovskiy Test Center, east of Moscow, since it was the VVS Scientific Research Institute at which plant the most extensively tested Me-262 was brought to and re-assembled.
