In a remarkable display of strength, brothers Yuri and Arthur Sakunts have each set new world records: one by pulling a helicopter with his pinky finger, the other with his teeth.
"Previously, I've pulled heavier objects—like a 60-ton wagon and a 40-ton tank—but this required a completely different kind of physical exertion due to the helicopter's unique balance," said Yuri Sakunts, who pulled the helicopter using just one pinky finger, setting a new record, reports Sputnik Armenia.
Yuri also mentioned that he plans to conclude his record-setting career by pulling an 80-ton airplane. However, he is uncertain when this will happen, as it requires extensive training and preparation.
"This demands superhuman strength. Imagine—I weigh 65 kg, but I'm pulling an object weighing 60,000 kg. It's very challenging and requires physical preparation, willpower, immense effort, and faith," he emphasized.
Yuri engages in boxing, wrestling, and powerlifting, participates in local and international competitions, and is a world and European champion.
His brother, Arthur Sakunts, set another world record by pulling the helicopter with his teeth.
Arthur set his first record at the age of 16 by pulling three cars with two fingers. Now, at 22, he has become a five-time Guinness record holder, a four-time world record holder, a twenty-time Armenian record holder, and an international master of sports.
He noted that he occasionally sustains injuries, but they never hinder his progress.
