Black Raven Dragoons

I'm sure many of you have seen this beast before. I recall pictures of it making the rounds circa 2005, but never have I seen such close up shots!

So cool! Good find. I've not seen closer either.

Try putting экраноплан into YouTube and you'll find some fun. I'd post myself, but I'm in a coffee shop and can't get the damn iPad's sound to turn off on YouTube
