It’s not a plane it’s an ekranoplan! Amazing I didn’t know they left it like this

Great video about this!
That’s not a plane that’s an ekranoplan. It’s like a platypus: a creature that part water animal part plane, but not really either.
It’s a ground effect vehicle. It flies on a cushion of air a few meters above the surface really.quickly.
Needs a lot of power to get going, but then is very efficient.
Sadly it was abandoned for political reasons.
Did they just stick the whole tail gun unit of a Tu-95 on top of the wing facing forward?
Caspian Sea monster. It’s impressive.
My plane model after I lose the instructions
It’s actually closer to a boat than a plane
Looks like something I would design in KSP
Command and conquer has this Builds 25 and dominate the islands
Has to be Russian. Big and ridiculous
I believe it’s actually slated to move into some sort of museum sorta local to where that resides, the only one in existence.
Dips!
Bald and Bankrupt has a good youtube video on this beast.
That’s an ekranoplan. It’s the Caspian sea monster. It’s designed to fly just above the waves using the ground effect which enables it to have very high efficiency while maintaining a higher top speed than any ship.
I thought it was a plane before , but later got to know its not, refer here to learn more

That’s the Ajax spaceship from “Flash Gordon”
It should be restored in a museum, instead of being left to rot.
Abandoned Ekranoplan! Ground effect transport, not exactly a plane.
Cues ** Heavy Metal **
Ekranoplan!
You know country is bad when this hasan been dismantle for scrap metal.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a picture of it being pressed back into service.
It’s actually a boat.
It’s not Abandoned, it’s in Russian long term storage.
Dang I didn’t know that there was a ekranoplan still around! I though they all got scraped
It’s so absurdly proportioned that it feels like it belongs to some sorta disel punk setting. I love it
Not a plane but a russian flying hover-boat, using speed at ground effect to stay above the waves for very quick naval transport, i believe.
