Iyo yaimbova USSR yaive yakaorera mune megalomaniac engineering mapurojekiti. Uyu Lun-kirasi Ekranoplan ndiwo muenzaniso wakanaka wehushingi, hungwaru uye kugona kweinjiniya kubva kune yaimbova Soviet Union. Uchapupu hwechokwadi hwezvinogona kuitwa nevanhu kana miganho yebhajeti isati yaiswa (bhiri rakauya gare gare…).
Yakavakwa muna 1987 kuRussia Navy shipyards muGungwa reCaspian, iyo Lun-class Ekranoplan yakanga ichishanda kusvika 1990. Pashure pacho, matambudziko emari e "Eastern Giant" akarayira kupera kwepurogiramu.
Rostislav Evgenievich Alexeyev ndiro zita remainjiniya ane basa reiyi "mechanical monster". Mumwe murume uyo kwemakumi emakore akazvipira kuvandudza pfungwa iyi ye "ngarava-ndege", akaberekwa mu60s.
Pfungwa "yakasiyana" zvekuti World Maritime Organisation (WMO) yaive nematambudziko makuru mukuiisa mumapoka. Haisi hovercraft, haisi ndege ine zvinoyangarara kana kuti hydrofoil… maererano neOMM, ingarava chaiyo.
Uye kana kutaridzika kuchinakidza ko nezve technical sheet? Eight Kuznetsov NK-87 injini, 2000 km yekuzvitonga, 116 tonnes yemubhadharo uye… 550km/h yekumhanya kwepamusoro! Inogona kufamba kusvika 4.0 m pamusoro pepamusoro.
Pakazara, vashandi veLun-class Ekranoplan vaisanganisira vanhu gumi nevashanu. Pakati pekufamba nekushandisa "chikara" ichi, mukuru weLun-class Ekranoplan akanga achine zvombo zvinokandwa zvitanhatu zvinokwanisa kunyudza ngarava.
Asi pamberi peiyo modhi, pakanga paine inotonyanya kushamisa. Huru, hune simba, hunotyisa. Yainzi KM Ekranoplan ikasvika pakupera zvinosiririsa. Maererano nemishumo yehurumende, iyo KM yakapinda mukudzidzira kufamba, nekuda kwemhosva yemukuru. Chokwadi...
Nehurombo, isu hatife takaona chero ipi zvayo yezvikara izvi ichifamba zvakare. KM Ekranoplan yakabviswa. Lun-class Ekranoplan yakamira panzvimbo inochengeterwa ngarava yeRussia mugungwa reCaspian. Zvingangodaro, nokusingaperi.
