given the dubious history of huge ass experimental Russian military aircraft, I'm not so sure about this one...

No doubt about it. An Ekranoplan it is!!

I didn't think there was one still left. To see a few more shots, Google the phrase 'Caspian Sea Monster' as this was the affectionate name given to them by the American military when they tried to sort out the spy photos of wht the bloody hell the Russians were building.

Edit: I found the link I had stored from the EnglishRussia site

http://englishrussia.com/?p=10
19

and this gives some pictures and a bit more detail on these ungainly but clever machines. Apologies if the link looks a bit odd, the machine keeps saving the edit with the subject as p=10 with the 19 on the line below. Should be p=1019

looks like it came straight out of a final fantasy game!

given it's size, doesn't look like it's got enough wingspan to fly but still, mighty cool!

Stop speaking without knowing.
This is not the Caspian Sea Monster, which crashed in 1980.
It is a smaller Ekranoplan, called Lun.
And yes, it can fly. Not like an airplane.
It uses the ground effect, so it can fly just above the sea.
