Ugly as sin!
But I think it is supposed to be a "ground effect" plane. Only designed to travel a couple of meters above the ground over lakes, ice, etc anywhere that flat but going like stink.
This is one ugly plane, shame I can't read Russian

May be ugly, but damn it is cool.
Sorry Yes. Over water only for this one. Note the two missile launch tubes on top of the fuselage. Wouldn't like to be in the fire control position when you "hit the tit".
Got me wondering????
If anyone ever finds some video of it flying that would be fantastic... It just looks as though it couldn't fly.
Bit more reading for those interested.
