Caspian Sea Monster

The COMMIE EKRANOPLAN
“ These craft are big and fast and were kept secret from the west until the fall of communism in the early 1990's, when information about them was slowly revealed.  It can quite easily be envisaged a hundred of such craft zooming across the ocean, relatively undetected flying underneath  radar to invade a country.

Commie EKRANOPLAN
The 540 ton 'Caspian Sea Monster' as it was called, as it travels over water in excess of 290 knots !



M/SGT Col 003 Don M; Chief Barn Army Counter Intel
 Some of you are maybe wondering who this guy "Don M" is, what keeps feeding me top secret stuff that he knew before us.  "003" is by day a Montana cowboy who drives his herd hard, and his women harder,  and by night develops counter secrets for both the Free sub-rosa  United States government, and the Barn Army.   His staff recently developed the "    top secret     ," and the "    top crypto secret     ," Thank you Don M! He's why we win.

    If it's ugly it's British, if it's weird it's French. If it's ugly AND weird, it's Russian.

    It was also one of the worst kept secrets ... ever.
    Back in the day, almost every frikkin' orientation briefing ever given at the appropriate security level used a pic of "the Caspian Sea Monster" and it always got a snicker.

    You just discovered the Ekranoplane?

    Welcome to the late 1990's ...


    They were primarily designed to be anti-ship missile platforms.

    Although sorta stealthy, they would have been sitting ducks for real aircraft.

    Sorta stealthy? Whell hail, you could radar track that "flying SAM site" as it crossed the horizon with your car`s poo-leese radar detector---ina aluminium snow storm on the entire East Coast!

    I think PS and/or PM magazine ran articles about ground effect craft a long time ago, not sure when but 70's I think. There's at least one on the market now to anyone. They have advantages of being able to carry much more than an airplane of the same size and travel far faster than a ship, with no runways needed. Do a search on youtube for "ground effect" to see some in action.

    Ground effect is the tendency of air to build up a dense cushion between the wings and ground when it can't get out of the way faster than it's being pushed together. It helps planes take off and land like a skier skims on water. This affect appears when a plane is at a height less than its wingspan.

    It's argued that the Spruce Goose never truly flew and didn't earn the title of largest flying craft. It never got high enough to get out of the helpful ground effect and may not have been able to.

    Stealthy? Moving Target Indicator and is a 60's radar technology.

    It was, however, a huge threat to all US Navy operations in the Caspian Sea.
