A Russian Military hovercraft turns up on a tourist beach . One of them captured about 5 secs of video of which I couldn't capture but heres a screen shot of
the beast ...

Yeah, those Pomornik class landing hovercrafts are quite impressive machines.

I knew about these, but never realized the actual size, wow. Scary to think China has these also, talk about shock and awe seeing one of these coming at you in person..

having seen these in Greece and seeing them do Amphib assault practice i can tell you they make you clear off in a real hurry, remember being on a tourist boat (drinking cruise) with some friends and one went past, the noise is immense but yeah you certainly clear off.... and they do look like some sort of future vehicle in an odd kind of way...
