Other articles say they don’t know why people were on that particular beach. If it’s normal for the Russian military to dock there, then why is the beach wall to wall people? Makes no sense. Unless it’s an illusion. We don’t see people running in panic so perhaps there is a dock we don’t see rather than it running up on shore.

Amateur footage shows the vast hovercraft powering towards the shore packed with hundreds of sunbathers.

I'm surprised that many sunbathers fit on the hovercraft.

The beach isn’t wall to wall people.

The only place it’s wall to wall is either side of the corridor where the hovercraft came in.

As if people were lined up in anticipation of the landing...

Hovercraft crewman #1: Geez, do you see the knockers on that one? The blue bikini.

Hovercraft crewman #2: Can I borrow your binoculars for a minute?

The pilot thought it was a “Go Topless” day at the beach.
