This is the Ekranoplan. It is a "wing in ground" vehicle. It is the civilian version of what was dubbed the "Caspian Sea Monster" in the 70's. The military versions were built in several sizes. The smaller ones were used for ASW and patrol (tests only) and the larger one was tested as an assault landing vehicle. They caused quite a stir when the satalite images were first seen.
