I do believe that this “somewhat” limited aircraft wannabe is an ideal mass troop carrier for any high speed invasion.
How many Russian troops in just one aircraft? a thousand, or more?
I can imagine 6 of these aircraft all wave skimming to make a beach head landing.
I personally think its a very admirable Russian design that is overlooked by western over-tech thinking.
These craft were originally developed as very high-speed military transports, and were based mostly on the shores of the Caspian Sea and Black Sea
