MD-160: The Caspian Sea Monster - Page 2

The plan I thought was to have one of the ekranoplans put on show with the Tango submarine in Moscow.

That's the things they do things half assed, they get the money but hald gets nicked.

There is a ekranoplan sitting at Kaspiysk on the Caspian sea, I think it's MD-160. I'm not sure what happened to the KM herself, I heard a rumour she was involved in an accident and scrapped.

I remember when that critter was rolled out. Had us scratching our heads for a bit.

Nice pics but between this and the Shkval thread it seems that there is some pining for vintage Soviet hardware around here of late.

Jaw-dropping. Like the capital ships in the Ace Combat games, only for real! Except, of course, that it doesn't fly.

Still an amazing craft.

EDIT: Wait -- I've seen this before! They landed troops in Norway in World in Conflict: Soviet Assault!
