Russia is focusing seriously on stealth bomber development.
In the pictures its a flying/jumping frigate.... no torpedos can hit it.

It looks like some sort of spaceship but still it looks really cool.

Hi,
Russians have developed some weird looking planes but this one takes the cake.

The mechanics of the Ekranoplan is very different from an aeroplane.

It is called a Ground Effect Vehicle. The Ekranoplan rides on a cushion of air much like the hovercraft.

Looks like an attempt for a flying frigate - that can hope any torpedo launches ...
and then turn around and fire Missiles at ships probbly WW2 era plane ...

I think such design won't stand a chance in modern warfare
