Arrow Stepped Bottom Caspian Sea Monster Ekranoplan Flight - 300MPH

Pretty cool!!!!!!!



Caspian Sea Monster Ekranoplan Flight Video. These craft were originally developed by the Soviet Union as very high-speed military transports, and were based mostly on the shores of the Caspian Sea and Black Sea. The largest had max take-off weight over 544 tonnes. About 120 ekranoplans (A-90 Orlyonok class) were initially planned to enter military service in the Soviet Navy. After the collapse of the Soviet Union smaller ekranoplans for non-military use have been under development. The CHDB had already developed the eight-seat Volga-2 in 1985, and Technologies and Transport developed a smaller version by the name of Amphistar.

Towards the end of the 3rd video it say's that one of the Ekranoplans is for sale. Come on, someone step up to the plate, where else are you going to get a turnkey, 400 MPH, poker run machine for you and 352 of your closest friends.
