Now imagine forming a small army, taking over that thing, and driving it towards a city.

It travels at 2-10 meters per minute.

A five foot hill would stop it dead.

Hmm.

Attach the K-7 bomber to it.

add a few more jet engines and it will have no problem.

Russians are planning a new plane, which when completed will be the largest plane ever.
Be-2500

[QUOTE=SoaringScout;26326291]I demand that these crazy-ass Russians make another huge plane. It should be the size of the Allure of the Seas. That would be insanely badass.[/QUOTE]

Was it really Russian or Ukrainian?

It's basically a troop transport.

The soviets developed them for anti-submarine purposes.

[QUOTE=Dragon Master;26315980]it's funny...cuz when that plane was in use, america lost the war they were fighting... :v:[/QUOTE]Actually, the B-36 never dropped bombs in active operations. It was also put out of service before the Vietnam War, and the US forces didn't lose the Korean War.

[QUOTE=fredstin22;26328240][img_thumb]http://i51.tinypic.com/290pgg7.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE]

Why does one of the engines have a cage around it?

[Whatisthis]

That thing would rape you!

[3v3ryb0dy]

[QUOTE=mastermaul;26328581]Why does one of the engines have a cage around it?[/QUOTE]

since it's flying so close to ground, I guess t's to fend off debris and such.

Well, Third Reich is a winner by the number of such projects.
For example Landkreuzer P. 1500 Monster

But of course it would never have done IRL

And what about russians flying giants...
hmm, "Ilya Murometz" was a real, first big battle-plane

Quit bringing this up, it's not some long lost secret no one has ever heard of.

[Novangel]

Why do Russians insist on putting jet engines next to their cockpits?

I believe that this one is a submarine plane.

[Jimjim32]

I think every major government from 1910 up until the end of the cold war had penis size issues.

Riight. And France is the capital of Europe.

It's ekranoplan, as I remember.

[damnatus]

[QUOTE=KirilloTRON;26330492]It's ekranoplane, as I remember.[/QUOTE]

There is no term such as ekranoplane, comrade

[KirilloTRON]

Are you so sure about this?

[damnatus]

"Экраноплан" - russian term. However, "ekranoplane" is no more than a transcription of a Russian term. That's what I'm talking about.

Let's call it a flying submarine :v:

[KirilloTRON]

Well, I don't really keep my eye, on the progress of this word transcription.
And Wiki never lies :v:

UPD:
Oh, I get it. Now it's "Ground effect vehicle" :pseudo:
But i think ekranoplan sounds cooler.

Jet engines don't quite work underwater.
