Russian Caspian Sea Monster Ekranoplan

The Lun-class ekranoplan was a top-secret Soviet naval vessel.
It was larger than a Boeing 747 and had eight massive jet engines.
It could fly at jet-plane speeds just above the waves, evading radar and anti-ship mines. It was equipped with six launchers along its spine that could fire nuclear missiles powerful enough to destroy an aircraft carrier.

Only this is not a Russian ekranoplan, but a Soviet one. Russia builds large yachts for the oligarchs.

This is not a Caspian Monster (KM-СМ, Корабль Макет-Mock-up Ship), but a Lun, СМ never had weapons, and was a transport ship, More precisely, the prototype of such a ship. (Yes, ekranoplans were considered Ships)

[DrCrunkMusic]

Technically this is the LUN class which was developed from the "Caspian sea monster" which was the KM

Imagine this thing going out on an attack mission

Я видел ее в живую, стоит на берегу около г. дербент. Здоровенная штука

Better pray they don't hit some rough waters one good wave and it's taking a dive

This looks like something I built in KSP

[NevieDal]

I think that in the future we can build vehicles that float above water because the water can acquire the property of magnets by something that makes the water repel and attract the vehicle.

Эта задумка будет служить человечеству в будущем, как транспортный корабль, имхо.

A couple of them took off and kept flying, the never got them back

[danielhamido]

The plane looks like it's never going to go up hahaha and it looks like it's going to crash somewhere due to the delay in going up...

[daanvos]

The one thing they built that could be a threat to us navy

But they chose breitsnev and everything remained safe
