Russian flying fortress...BIG!

[MiniDevil]

Haven't heard of that,thanks. Sounds like a loss of a lot of troops if something goes wrong.

+1 on that ... no way would you get me to fly in that, much less skim across water a few meters above it

Google "Caspian Sea Monster" or "Wing In Ground effect Aircraft" for some interesting cold war efforts. That should keep you going "whoa.." for a while.

That monster in that first picture is not a flyable airframe. You would be lucky if you could get it to move let alone leave the ground. As a 14 year U.S. Air Force veteran, I think I may know a thing or two about this subject.
