This ekranoplan earned its nickname “Caspian Sea Monster” because it was spotted by US satellites on the Caspian Sea, and its purpose and capabilities were initially a mystery to the West. It was one of the most unusual aircraft of the Cold War era.

TWZ says the USMC is testing a ground-effect aircraft called the "Squire." It’s high-tech, but let’s be honest: it’s a flying potato compared to the OG Soviet KM "Caspian Sea Monster." #avgeeks, if you want to see what peak Ekranoplan engineering looks like, watch this short clip of the 500-ton beast in action. Engineering has never looked this terrifying!

"Too low for radar. Too fast for torpedoes. The perfect Cold War phantom." The Ekranoplan Lun, often called the “Caspian Sea Monster,” stands as one of the Soviet Union’s most remarkable engineering feats. Developed in the 1980s, this ground-effect vehicle defied easy classification, operating somewhere between an aircraft and a ship as it skimmed just meters above the water. Measuring 74 meters in length and weighing more than 400 tons, the Lun was driven by six enormous turbojet engines and could reach speeds of up to 500 km/h. By flying at extremely low altitude, it exploited the ground effect—air compressed between its wings and the sea surface produced additional lift. Designed for military use, it carried six anti-ship missiles, allowing it to deliver rapid strikes across open waters.

Guys, don’t get discouraged. Take a look at how the Russians “shot everything down as usual and nothing happened.” I know you love these kinds of videos. Drone strikes on the Caspian Flotilla in Dagestan have damaged the missile ships ‘Tatarstan’ and ‘Dagestan’,- Ukrainian media, citing intelligence sources.
