I guess it could be a tow vehicle or a boat!

I do believe it is called "The Caspian Sea Monster" It can only fly around 50Feet Max off of the sea, but it can take alot of load

That's pretty cool. I never knew of such a thing. I looked it up on Google and, sure enough, it is the Caspian Sea Monster.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_vehicle http://www.gunslot.com/pictures/caspian-sea-monster The Caspian Sea Monster There is a saying: “If it’s ugly, it’s British; if it’s weird, it’s French; and if it’s ugly and weird, it’s Russian.” |
As I was looking at this monstrosity I was thinking "When was this thing built, during the Cold War?" And sure enough, I click on the above link and it says that it was built during the cold war. They're not caring for it very well.

Can you say group buy? I am in.

I don't even know where you find this stuff...
|
Brings new meaning to "Mobile Missile Launcher"
|
Looks like the Russian version of the Spruce Goose.

That's funny Cole.
What I like most about this is looking at the obvious additions to both aero and hydro packages. Definitely a development mule. |
