Quad-copter drones have been used to capture a variety of stunning images in recent months, including photographs of home design mogul Martha Stewart’s sprawling farm in New York state. Add a new entry to the list, though: A quad-copter has gathered video footage while hovering over a military museum in Germany, and the results are arresting.

The video, posted to the Aviationist blog Tuesday, shows numerous Soviet planes sitting at the Aviation Museum in Finowfurt, near Berlin. Among the planes that can be seen are the MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-21 and MiG-23 fighter jets, the blog says.

The museum is on the site of an old Soviet base. Other photographs taken there can be found on Flickr here, including one image with a statue of Vladimir Lenin, who in 1917 established the first communist government in the world.
