The Caspian Sea Monster was tested in 1966 by the Soviet Union. It was larger and heavier than any aircraft in the world, and could lift an astonishing 544,000 kg (1,199,315 lb) and reach speeds of over 600 km/h (373 mph).

American pilot: worried of bird strike.
Soviet pilot: worried of whale strike!

Soviet leaders: “we need more planes and more ships to win”.

“Soviet designer roles up sleeves. “

It is important to note that the vehicle with the missiles tubes was not the Caspian Sea Monster. It was, in fact, a derivative called the Lun-class ekranoplan

I guess it was ahead of it's time now that we have hovercraft and such. Very cool

Did Mustard allow you to use parts of his videos?

[chisbraon]

You really thought I’d miss that Kerbal Space Program footage?

Boundry Layer...So low, the air cannot move down and away, making way more lift.

The plane could fuction Perfectly in Storms and waves for some reason Somebody said they couldnt

[LUFFY]

It would work great as a drone design in a miniature form. Could carry a single cruise missile maybe

This was obsolete in America in the 1920s but I guess it's cutting edge for Russia today.

That's why North America has the hover craft !
