thanks indeed nice machine when i first saw what a hack a plane flying on river but then i was prove wrong.i think USSR made a mistake of not marketing civilian version globally .look i it is almost similar to HOVERCRAFT but HOVERCRAFT cant carry a tank. ok any way with improvement in technology hovercraft are going to rule the coming world they can fly almost any where.one important ques i had in past seen an USSR model which did n`t had wings it almost looked life alien ufo.there was small wings attached but it was for balacing the model.i saw it on discovery channel in which planes without wings were shown .in concluding part HOVERCRAFT were shown.its funding were stop when USSR disintegrated . can u tell me whats going on it know
