Thinking out the box
Sometimes the Soviets got up to some pretty lateral stuff (kind of of like the Germans in WW2). Go check out the YouTube videos on the Ekranoplan.

Re: Thinking out the box
Awesome idea but very limited in where it could be used.But thinking outside the box can sometimes bring the best solution.

Re: Thinking out the box
But think of it this way: as a naval cruiser, it cost the fraction of what a ship cost and had the same strike capability at ten times the speed.

Re: Thinking out the box
I agree.For it's intended purpose it is the ideal solution.It could also be used to rapidly deploy troops.Just an awesome machine.Firepower speed a decent range.I know if I was in any ship and saw that thing coming towards me I would change into my brown pants.

Re: Thinking out the box
what a machine. 300 miles per hour with a payload double that of a cargo plane of the same size running on half the gaz!

Re: Thinking out the box
wonder how capable that thing would be on rough sea. At that high speed it's going to be quite a mess of sea sickness.
