They certainly had their own approach to things.

I remember seeing a documentary on that (or something very like it) It flew using some kind of ground effect, very low... only for the black sea as i recall.

Ray, do a search on the Caspian Sea Monster. I watched a documentary not too long back that I think was on Youtube IIRC. Originally Posted by RayG

There are numerous clips of Ekranoplans in "flight" on YouTube.

Ha ha, that does indeed look like a green turtle.
Meanwhile I can't imagine why this magnificent machine is nicknamed the dugong. How very rude

Hi,
I've been on the receiving end of many Soviet style weapons, AKs, RPG, RPK, Doska's (12.7mm MG which I can't spell properly) and basic rocket systems and have to say they are all very effective in the own way. To put simply, anyone can maintain and use them. Simply designed and extremely robust (especially the small arms).
And I've always had a soft spot for the T-34 - great machine. Apparently they still have thousands in storage for "just in case".
Can't say much about the Lada though.
Cheers Ben.

I love Russian machine tools they made them for the workers
big heavy and reliable nothing wrong with that
I also love Russian guns
I fondled a .22 TOZ this afternoon and almost bought it for a fixer upper project gun but didn't..... The guy in the store said TOZ rifles were used in the Olympics
happy turning
Patrick
