"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.

The Ekranoplan The Soviet ekranoplan was a unique class of vehicles that combined features of ships and airplanes. It carried 6 P-270 Moskit anti-ship missiles with a range of up to 250 km. Its speed was up to 550 km/h, providing high naval interception power by combining its anti-ship missiles with its high speed.

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!

Islamabad-based aviation company, MachAlpha, designed this Ekranoplan aircraft. This class of aircraft uses ground effect to enhance lift while operating very close to the surface, most often, the sea. MachAlpha performed a full design study and comprehensive performance characteristic analysis in-sim. It will be interesting to see this aircraft take flight. And I hope MachAlpha are able to partner on a project that links them up with manufacturing capabilities.

🇺🇸 The U.S. Marines are closely watching the progress of the Regent Squire, a new wing in ground effect drone that recently completed its first test flight as a scale model. The Squire is designed to operate on water and in the air for missions including ISR, logistics, and combat search and rescue. It uses hydrofoils to lift off and then flies just above the surface for better efficiency. Source: TWZ

A Soviet underwater nuclear test (depth 10 meters) off Novaya Zemlya of the 3.5 kiloton RDS-9 fission warhead on a T-5 torpedo. 30 ships were positioned from 300 m to 1.5 km away. On board the ships were 500 goats and sheep, and 100 dogs. Only the closest ship, a destroyer, sank.
