From my extremely limited understanding from once fucking a pilot, it’s not duct tape so much as like “air tape” or something. It’s not meant to hold things apart so much as create an aerodynamic stream so certain parts aren’t going to be ripped off. It’s supposed to be a temporary fix until proper maintenance can be done. Nothing is at risk of falling apart but there could be some potential risk of aerodynamic strain causing some problems if the tape wasn’t there. Also the side benefit of water not being able to get into the area that is being sealed. I’d say the amount of tape is probably surprising but not necessarily concerning.
Again, I’m not an expert. Just gathered knowledge from who the fuck knows where.
tl;dr tape make things safe when go zoomy but no hold together

Exactly what I always say about my code.
Nothing more permanent than a temporary commit.
thank you for your service 🤷♂️
Okay, let’s roll with that Why should there be… holes? in the middle of the wing all over the place? And why should Russia(?) not be able to fix that?
It could be things like the paint peeling off. So it could be flown to a place with the proper setup to paint a plane.
