    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.

    Big mother. Some sort of fast surface skimmer. Looks to have seen a lot of service. I note the tail turret so must have had some sort of military input.

    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".

    If anyone ever finds some video of it flying that would be fantastic... It just looks as though it couldn't fly.
