We wrote about Russian “Ekranoplanes” here.
Here is one of them caught on the rest, maybe that’s his last stop so on eternal rest.
There is also a submarine on the last photo. Is it watching so nobody disturbed them?

Miss India is my wife, dirty jew!
Typical Russian product, a plane that can’t fly
Glad to see your troubles are gone Indian girl.
It did fly
The “Plane” was not designed to fly. It was designed to glide above the water at a fast rate of speed using a lifting bodies ground effects. It would come in fast and beach it’s self and discharge heavy loads and troops.
OMG Russians are so poor that they can’t afford normal Boeings that we have in the west and have to build planes on their own
Your mama should have kept her legs crossed!
your just lucky the germans ran out of gas when it was your mamas turn
I heard you like anal rape.
erm its much better than a boeing since this can land on water and travel on it but boeing tend to burst into flames when it rains( it doesnt burst into flames but it shows its water caperbilerties)
He is jewish gay!
keitai – picture is from Kaspiysk. There were 2 visible ekranoplanes on googlemaps. But now after map update there is only one.
Have a look here.

Something small is around 300metres south-west from there.
Another one was parking here, but now it’s gone.

Is the last picture of a submarine? Is it operational or sunk somehow?
It is museum in Moscow on Moscow river.
Now it looks: http://www.flamber.ru/files/photos/1211922554/1215889337_o.jpg
I thought the idea of GEV was generally abandoned by early 70s as unproductive loss of money??
However, my hovercraft is full of eels
It looks like someone is copying you CZenda!
Germans have not been in Dagestan fool
Caspian monster called the “Eaglet” and yet we have a missile ekranoplan “Lun” – the killer of aircraft carriers!
There gonna be modernizations as far i heard for 10 of them and then in 2025 or 30 they gonna be removed and replaced by brand new
no, full-scale GEV, called “Lun”, produced not only in carrier strike verison. there also heavvy ASW model and assault transport machine, rescue machine.
all with tremendous operational range and other specs.
especially awesoe for 1st genertion of GEV.
picture with ekranoplan is from Moscow city – Tushino park
it is in Moscow city in Tushino park

The last photo is not a real submarine, it’s a fake made by some artists and it’s in Moscow river not so far from Kremlin
So that’s what those things actually looked like. During my technical training at Sheppard AFB, TX in 1975, my flight was given a briefing of Soviet intentions to dominate the world. In that briefing we were shown a drawing of the jet-powered version of the plane and told what the CIA estimates its abilitiy was. The CIA believed the “Capisan Sea Monster” (because they didn’t know what it was called) was able to carry tanks across the Atlantic Ocean at high speed to invade the USA. Since it was a drawing I always thought it was a myth until now with these photos. The plane may be going to a park now but it did kept Americans up at night.
