I-USSR yangaphambili yayichumile kwiiprojekthi zobunjineli be-megalomaniac. Le Lun-class Ekranoplan ngumzekelo omhle wobukhalipha, ubuchule kunye namandla obugcisa beenjineli ezisuka kwindawo eyayisakuba yiSoviet Union. Ubungqina bokwenyani bokuba uluntu lukwazi ukwenza ntoni xa imida yohlahlo lwabiwo-mali ingamiselwanga (umthetho oyilwayo weza kamva…).
Eyakhelwe kwi-1987 kwiinqanawa ze-Navy zaseRashiya eLwandle lweCaspian, i-Lun-class Ekranoplan yayisebenza kude kube ngu-1990. Emva koko, ubunzima bezemali be-"Eastern Giant" buchaza ukuphela kweprogram.
URostislav Evgenievich Alexeyev ligama lenjineli ejongene nale "monster mechanical". Indoda eyazinikela iminyaka emininzi ekuphuculeni le ngcamango "yeenqwelo-moya", eyazalelwa kwi-60s.
Ingcamango "eyahluke kakhulu" kangangokuba uMbutho weHlabathi wezoLwandle (WMO) waba nobunzima obukhulu ekuwuhleleni. Asiyonqwelomoya, ayisiyonqwelomoya edadayo okanye i-hydrofoil nokuba…ngokuka-OMM, yinqanawa ngenene.
Kwaye ukuba inkangeleko iyancomeka kuthekani ngephepha lobugcisa? Iinjini ezisibhozo zeKuznetsov NK-87, iikhilomitha ezingama-2000 zokuzimela, iitoni eziyi-116 zomthwalo ohlawulwayo kunye… 550km/h yesantya esiphezulu! Inokuhamba ngenqanawa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-4.0 m ngaphezu komphezulu.
Lilonke, abasebenzi beLun-class Ekranoplan yayiquka abantu abayi-15. Phakathi kokuhamba ngenqanawa nokusebenza kwesi "silo silo", umphathi weLun-class Ekranoplan wayesenemijukujelwa emithandathu ekwaziyo ukutshonisa inqanawa.
Kodwa ngaphambi kwale modeli, bekukho enye enomtsalane ngakumbi. Inkulu, inamandla ngakumbi, imbi kakhulu. Yayibizwa ngokuba yi-KM Ekranoplan kwaye yafikelela esiphelweni esibuhlungu. Ngokweengxelo ezisemthethweni, i-KM yahamba phantsi kwindlela yokuqeqesha, ngenxa yephutha lomphathi. Ngokuqinisekileyo...
Ngelishwa, asisokuze sibone naziphi na kwezi zilo zinkulu zihamba ngesikhephe kwakhona. I-KM Ekranoplan iye yachithwa. I-Ekranoplan yodidi lweLun imise kwindawo yokugcina iinqanawa zaseRussia kuLwandle lweCaspian. Ngokunokwenzeka, ngonaphakade.
