Russia's Boat Plane the Ekranoplan

I had heard about this a while back , and just watched a doco on the tele about it which was great and had some awesome footage . I found some more footage on youtube but can't understand a word they are saying .

The footage shows the original as well as the later attempts . Unfortunatly I couldn't find footage of the one equiped with anti ship missiles . Apparently Russia still has one of these things sitting in a big hanger and its for sale .
