Caspian Sea Monster Ekranoplan Flight Video

[jamie557255]

WHO would fly a plane like that in chopy sea`z ......ask self that before comment maybe..that is bad a@@ half the fuel cost

[AverageConservative]

20 Feet above the surface? Rollers in the ocean are commonly 70 ft! What a waste of human effort!

[dmdoumik]

This creation is too big and like a bloated gov`t would sink under it`s own weight. Or get sunk rather easily by America`s military.

[bombator]

The Seamonster is coming back, in near future.

[thenicedudejay]

a flying boat...or a boating plane...?? i sure as hell not wanna go fishing , on the lakes where this one travels !!

[TeknikAlity34]

Russians are pretty smart. I gotta admit.

[edro31111]

Best footage I've ever seen on this rare bird. Thanks for posting!

[0kaworu]

hmm wing and ground effect

[nyTuHKpa6]

It can gain some altitude to escape big waves. It also can fly above more or less level ground.

[jamesdondavis]

oh wait a wave

[Ratoslav1]

i think they actually classified them as ships.

[kjoske84]

From here to there

youtube.com/watch?v=E0LJX1Er6l­E

[RussianAmericanArms]

and then a small "rogue wave" comes out of nowhere...

[AlibiMac]

bet it probably crashes easy

[luc10781]

as long it does not have a big waves coming over 20 feets

[beavisCS]

sowjet Engineering at its best!

[kjoske84]

Задний русский штурмовой вертолет 6 MI-24, русский бак тигра, серии американских баков, вертолета кобры и красивейшего белокурого повествователя девушки

[matsehora]

Китай собирается производить подобного рода транспортные средства..

[bluejacketbugler]

how does it get onin a swell

[machinima2221]

dont blame me when theres a monster wave

[pe6obutilkata]

Russians dont fuck around

[3dreams2flyby]

@SladkaPritomnost it "flys" the entire video.

This is a Wing In Ground Effect craft (WIG).

It is designed to fly just above the surface never gaining altitude.

[ClintJohnHampton]

It's the WIG From Snake Eater! :D

[MiB7967]

Und das Ding fliegt nur über Wasser?

[Somutzig147]

@MiB7967 Ja. Über Land funktioniert der Bodeneffekt nicht, höchstens auf einem ganz ebenen Acker. Das erste Haus oder die erste Baumreihe wäre für dieses Flugobjekt (ich sage nicht "Flugzeug") ein unüberwindbares Hindernis.

[TheScott2121]

Am I missing something ,What exactly is that in the co-pilots seat flying the plane at 0:29 because I'm pretty sure it's not human.

[YouTheory]

LUNA version (Missile carrier) watch?v=WB0yCawyTQk

[sebacabezon18]

si te agarra una ola te tira a la mierda.

[SladkaPritomnost]

I have never seen this flying...

?

[awesomelegomadness]

@SladkaPritomnost

It was expirimental designed to carry troops and equipment quickly across the world to deploy while staying under radar.

[XXDahlXXAjd041]

but will it blend?

[chelonia1663]

Let´s hope I´m not gonna meet one when sailing in the Caspian

[1rufg]

How does it handle in the rough sea's?

[riderpoet]

Let's see that thing handle a 20 foot swell and a high wind.

[Myrazoar]

dear santa....

[WatchKomrade]

Additionally, I have removed much of the comment chain that led up to my error. For two reasons. 1) There is no point in keeping incorrect information posted so as to possibly further misinform. 2) The dialog became offensive, as is so often to happen in the anonymous world of YouTube and the internet, so I took it down for that reason as well. I normally don't even comment at all on the videos we post for that very reason and regret that I did in this case and for the incorrect info.

[counciousstream]

@WatchKomrade I completely agree that the dialog becomes unnecessarily offensive on youtube.

[WatchKomrade]

Hello... I posted a comment earlier that incorrectly stated this plane could gain high altitude. I have since learned this is incorrect. It can gain some additional altitude to avoid waves or choppy seas, but it is not designed to go thousands of feet above sea level like regular airplanes. The ground effect is actually a part of it's lift. My area is watches. Not planes. I was misinformed about one of the aspects of this plane and then erroneously passed that on. My apologies.

[6400az]

@WatchKomrade

Ahhh! I see, kinda like a hover craft. If it would fly as high s a plane then the benfit of that air cushion would'nt apply.

Thank you.

[TheFreshPeddler]

howard hughes would be proud

[gewizz2]

thumbs up if u think russian engineers are sick

[gtvapsamtik]

man this is one weird place ive seen. So why they never improved upon it ? Ran out of funds?

[aardque]

I was about to take a ride on one until I took an arrow in the knee.

[ONSITEAUTOBODY]

THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD RUSSIA !

[TheFreshPeddler]

@ONSITEAUTOBODY - no, that was once somewhat more debatable but russia is maybe third on the list behind the US and China now. they do make some great technology though

[Quodge]

Well that one way to put your marines in fast n low..

[ColumbiaGorgeGuy]

How will I join the mile high club on this thing?!

[wojbert]

this shiit was build for future aggression against another country's

but communist revolution does not , have a power to destroy the world and make others slaves..

[TheDeathpill]

What happens if they hit a wave?

[Crawdy252]

Only in Russia

[Crawdy252]

Only in Russia

[whitecarish]

Watch out for those 30ft waves.

[Dimaangel1996]

@whitecarish he can rise to a height of 1 km

[NH4NO3CH3NO2]

WHALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tesla779]

@TheOfficialSupamayne it's a good thing he said secretive then.....

[1821aftershock]

i thought i was going to see a sea monster

[KurumaKid81]

Just imagine of they made a military version of this. Avoid some air missiles by goin on the water n just takenthe turrets out n shoot some boats while your at it lol

[BrodeFinePortraiture]

2 gallons per inch...whatta bah gon

[WS101P]

Америкашки вам ума не хватит построить что-нибудь подобное. Разве что спиздить полностью чертежи Каспийского монстра, но и тогда не сможете его собрать.

[kuti95]

German, not soviet.

[vchslv]

ekranoplan (or screenplane)

[bucker26]

Yes, but with ocean waves, how it goes?

[Terantable]

@bucker26 it can fly higher with ekranoplan effect, also it can fly as a usuall plane at limited altitude

[bucker26]

Yes, but with ocean waves, how it goes?

[thegreatbungholio21]

Russia builds some crazy looking stuff. I have to admire their tenacity to think outside the box.

[cryteeek]

@thegreatbungholio21 too bad they sucked shit lol

[MakeItGoSplodey]

I didnt think they had actually made these.

[bengacris]

@MakeItGoSplodey yes they did, so what is there in the video then?

[MakeItGoSplodey]

@bengacris Thank you for pointing that out. I clearly had not noticed that this plane had actually been constructed in the video.

[jonesboy35757]

My mom has one of these

[Newlolz989]

Wait for a random whale. GET FUCKED

[Ar0n13]

looks badass, would scare the shit out of me.

[TechnoBassUp]

0:28 wtf do you see whats on his head!?!?

[varel1977]

жаль что серия экранопланов так и не по полнила ряды нашей армии..

[DiamondPilotDan]

i like it

[FlyBoyBigBlue]

Hmm, capable of carrying high loads at high speeds across the ocean. Wonder what that thing was designed for? hahah

[Moisescurra]

q bueno es esta cosa de internet hace años atras yo comente delante de los amigos mio q los sovieticos tenian un hidroplano con 8 turbinas a los lado de la cabina y no me creyeron lo vi en dyscobery channel en el progaqma super maquinas y se burlaron de mi ahora me burlare de ellos este es el aparato del cual hable cuando yo tenia 12 años tengo 24

[Equinoxthelegend]

Schon nicht übel in der Theorie aber was wenn Unwetter aufkommt ... ?

[TheOfficialSupamayne]

0:34 im pretty sure secretest isn't a word...

[kajabbi]

@TheOfficialSupamayne secritive

[GPazosL]

@TheOfficialSupamayne Neology. Radical Secret + suffix est. The most secret secret there is. Althout it is higly redundant to have a secret that is more or less a secret than other. It's either a secret or not.

[jonesboy35757]

@TheOfficialSupamayne lol!

[Bivack123]

@TheOfficialSupamayne No it is not. In fact he says "... most secretive cities..".

[TheDeathpill]

@TheOfficialSupamayne He said secretive.

[BEARCAT120]

@TheOfficialSupamayne secretive

[09michael1]

@TheOfficialSupamayne

he said secretive...

[just2damcoo]

@TheOfficialSupamayne sounds like he said secretive to me

[FAIDillinGer]

@TheOfficialSupamayne he said secretive !

[BOOMdudes]

@TheOfficialSupamayne he said secretive

[TEMUJINARTS]

@TheOfficialSupamayne pretty sure?? think again big mouth. u must like the taste of your feet fool

[1Pantikian]

they should call it the hammerhead

[MrViTopol]

C/\ABA CCCP !

[XarraX9009]

looks like something that came from a Thunderbirds episode.

[DerKunstmaler]

Это давало колоссальный перевес в стратегических возможностях

[356butch]

It would never work on Lake Superior this time of year...

[eaglehawk111]

Ugly looking thing. Still, very clever.

[bryanytusabes]

kiero uno de esos

[moistfaucet]

I love to se Russian Technology, They are able to make the wierdest concept into reality.

[JavaLuCpp]

OH FK, i see TSUNAMI!!!

[LazDevice]

I take it it uses ground efect to carry more weight

[m0t0cr0ss17]

so is this flying or floating?

[actionbrad]

@m0t0cr0ss17 flying - technically... i think. in ground effect- the wings direct the air against the ground ( or in this case , the surface of the water) which in turn pushed the plane up and forward. or something like that

[pinezkax]

One milion gallons per second

[xXxKINGLJxXx]

WOW AWESOME!

[henndri]

HANYA BISA DIATAS AIR AJA TOCH ......... KAGA BISA NANJAK

[billt460]

Leave it to the Russians to build an aircraft with a service ceiling of 20 feet.

[BloodyBart888]

@billt460 Technically it's more of a hovercraft that an aircraft. It uses the same lift, some sort of air-pillow that only exists this close to the ground.

[MrViruszone]

i know this from FSX

[thespaceboon101]

@MrViruszone because we all know that discovery channel uses FSX (SARCASM DETECTED)

[max24578]

kako mocno

[on3lim1t]

is it on caspian border in bf3 ?

[Hanningo]

Its shellplane. Its not go ON WATER its fly over it.

[robiniroven]

what about big waves lol

[KohviKruus]

In soviet russia, boats fly you

[dan9rocks]

In soviet russia... boat is plane

[haha71687]

What music is this?

[damka13]

Polacy są wszędzie :)

[MonkeySquad1]

sucks for them when a wave comes their way

[triplecstyle]

In mother Russia planes don't fly, boats do.

[travolto1]

those poor birds flying close

[gardenfreak1000]

whoops just hit an iceberg....

[K1w1scot]

I don't think high wave crests would've been the biggest problem for this leviathan. The main risk would most likely have been birdstrike. Still a bloody impressive beast of a thing, without comparrison from the wester nations.

[MrLarsiboy]

Get ready for a bumpy ride when waves at 30ft comes!

[tube2a]

I wonder why they didn't go into production LOL

[fabriciobrisola1]

Сильная Россия в самолетах

[maximus1383]

@fabriciobrisola1 не россия,а советский союз.

[fabriciobrisola1]

@maximus1383 Я был неправ. "Оборудование аналогично

[maximus1383]

@fabriciobrisola1 все те самолеты что строит россия,а построила только 1, все это старые советские разработки

[KGCCCP]

@fabriciobrisola1 Это Экраноплан

[fabriciobrisola1]

@KGCCCP это очень важное стратегическое значение! рано концепция копируется другими континентами в различных версиях, к сожалению, сильная конкуренция со стороны США в Россию, я из Бразилии больше, чем мой дедушка итальянский!

[KGCCCP]

@fabriciobrisola1 You can write in english.

[fabriciobrisola1]

@KGCCCP Yes I see that you too 'can'.lol

[KGCCCP]

@fabriciobrisola1 I meen, your Russian is not good. And i did't undestand you.

[jamiliu1]

Like to see that against waves

[shadowsofdream]

@jamiliu1 this plane was designed for Caspian sea. Caspian is a lake, so it doesn't have big waves.

[MrMoorkey]

@shadowsofdream Some of these craft, such as Orlan, could fly out of ground effect for a short time too.

[rsm6912]

I had the opportunity of visiting a location near it's resting place south of Mahachkala, Dagestan on the western shore of the Caspian Sea. A truly impressive sight. I was told that its original design was for the purpose of moving large numbers of assault troops and materiel since the USSR did not have a proper marine attack group as do most western military powers.

[Blogengezer]

Percentage? Soviet Russia spent considerably more on the basis of percentage points. GDP is another reminder of what economic power the US....Had. Military was not it's downfall. The move to the overwhelming drag of National Sociaism is. 'The Great Society' ran amuck and Re-distributed more of the working person's wealth than it took in. NOW it is in Deep Do-do. Just like Russia's economy as the German wall was torn down. Now for the Oligharqs to control the wealth. Benevolence?

[grandrusenko]

Thanks for the video!

[8800888]

Впервые вижу это видео. И даже вроде ничего не слышал об этом самолёте.

[RusFanatic]

@8800888 Наверно потому что это не самолёт а Экраноплан?

[8800888]

@RusFanatic Без разницы, всё-равно не слышал. Если бы это было американское, они бы давно раструбили.

[RusFanatic]

@8800888 ну у нас их тоже не осталось больше. точнее стоят ржавают ещё пару штук

[8800888]

@RusFanatic Американец что ли? А родом откуда? Уж довольно хорошо русский язык знаешь.

[RusFanatic]

@8800888 Не понял, какой американец, ты о чём ? Я из россии я про вот эти Экранопланы говорю, то что они и стоят у нас ржавеют.

[vasylnesen]

@8800888 не самолет это .экраноплан.почитайте на сайтах."Каспийский монстр" называется.на Гугл мапс можно посмотреть.возле Махачкалы ржавеет на приколе.

[ArtyomWolff]

@8800888 это экраноплан, а не самолёт, было разработано несколько видов, в том числе ракетный. Родственники экранопланов - корабли с подводными крыльями - "Москва", "Ракета" и тд, такие до сих пор перевозят людей

[TheMaxsev]

ссыте суки!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blogengezer]

A totalitarian govt is able to do amazing projects when it leaves the majority of it's citizens in near poverty. Many horse drawn carts were still roaming the interior of Russia during this time of 'creative' military machinery. Even today, Russian soldiers were still more interested in stealing Toilets (rare high tech stuff, in short supply to them) during their short, invasive war into Georgia.

[sneakytouchyourplace]

@Blogengezer You say that but, do you have any idea how much money the USA spends on military? More than the rest of the entire world's countries combined.

[Lavrentizodiac]

@Blogengezer LONG LIVE TO THE RUSSIAN ARMY!!!!!!!

[InRUSSIAweTRUST]

at least no submarines could hit it :)

[numba8playa]

Right up until you get 30 ft waves

[rcfetish]

@numba8playa we have tech than can just find a route around them

[authmaax]

@numba8playa yep

[bmwodessa1]

@numba8playa idiot.

[CruxVera]

@numba8playa haha just what i was thinking

[immortal4942]

@numba8playa caspian sea doesn't have 30ft waves.

[chrisiglehart]

That's the only Russian aircraft I would ever ride on

[majsketchup]

What happens if there are waves?

[graham1996]

@majsketchup boom splash rbrbrbrbrbrbbrr

[JustinLewiston]

@majsketchup In Russia, you don't worry about waves. Waves worry about you.

[majsketchup]

Hahah :P indeed

[DevilCondori]

innovation

[WolfN931]

Who y guna get to use it navy or air force

[madhurabash]

Hello there! Have you considered intellectus list building (google it)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got a lot of cash pumping buyers added to their list.

[masluxx]

very cool

[fabriciobrisola1]

VERY NICE.. GREAT MOVE

[CliffordVII]

if there is a big wave xD

[Tetrodioxide]

We Russians build B I G things in hopes to prove we have the biggest peniski.

[CMRDIvan]

@Tetrodioxide "peniski"? So your Polish pretending to be Russian. Typical Poles.

[Tetrodioxide]

@CMRDIvan lol
