Does it say in the article where they are in Russia? My Russian is a bit rusty.


Very very cool pictures though.

That didn't work though, the Ekranoplan does.

But not on waves.

A nuclear plane would be awesome (but rather dangerous), it would never have to land, I wonder if it would be possible with modern technology. I mean they can fit them on a sub.
