    Multi-Million dollar jet and they have to climb a pole to get in !
    Although :
    Knowing Government Research and Development a set of stairs would cost a couple hundred thousand per.

    The "pole" was probably a bargain $20,000.

    Even if there weren't a PKM sitting on top of this thing, everything about it just looks...Russian.

    History behind them is cool as well...
    IIRC they took them to Antarctica and used them there.
    Project was initially basically a tank chassis is with a truck can on top of it.
