While Hooniverse likes to focus on those things that have four wheels and fit in an average garage, sometimes we like to point upward and shout there, up in the sky- it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s too much vodka and national pride!
Youre back in the USSR, boy, you dont know how lucky you are.

  1. I'm not sure what's more outlandish: the airplane itself, or the renderings where it's bringing its considerable weapons to bear on a Nazi German flying saucer.

  2. Hey, I just realized that nobody referred to the Ekranoplan here. What's the deal with that? Somebody link to it. It's somwhere on English Russia. I'm too lazy to do it and I have to go get more beer anyway. OK, vodka. Whatever.

  3. Jesus-God! That center section looks like the Intensive Care Wing of the local hospital in my town. I really want to know if it actually had the ability to fly, or if it collapsed from the extreme weight of all the ugly that they packed into that thing.

  4. I really hope this was turned into an apartment block somewhere rather than sold for scrap. Plus, it'd sort of double as a carport, so that'd be pretty sweet.
