“Ekranoplanes” on the Rest

Russian Ekranoplanes at rest

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?

      Pics don’t show up except first one.

    2. 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 :-(

      Where are these pictures from? And how new are these pics? IE is there a chance to see a ekranoplan before they get converted to scrap metal?

      Is the last picture of a submarine? Is it operational or sunk somehow?

      I thought the idea of GEV was generally abandoned by early 70s as unproductive loss of money??
