Big Red airplane

While the US looked at things that could go fast or were stealthy, the Reds looked for things that would get a lot of stuff somewhere.

The Lun ekranoplan: 380 tons of airplane. It’s big, it’s mean-looking, and admittedly a little rough from time.

Good pictures, flaked paint and all.
