The Fate Of The Caspian Sea Monster

Robert Johnson over at Business Insider found these photos on the blog site Igor 113 and pulled together some research to bring you back to a time when the Soviets were really thought a transport ship laden with
nuclear missiles was a good idea.

Here is is when it was operational



And as it sits today...



Here it is again, and several other similar air/water craft. Watch the whole video, it's worth it.

Editor: Thanks to "Mark" for submitting this.

I'm a big plane buff. I know this isn't really "news", but I suspect many of you haven't seen the "Caspian Sea Monster" before. It's a shame that it's not in a museum. It's a beautiful aircraft, and deserves to be preserved for the future to see.

I do realize that there is a difference between the aircraft shown in flight in the first video, and the photo. It appears to be a revision of the same design, possibly built on the same craft.

The last video has many different aircraft and boats in it. Just keep that in mind when something looks "different". It has some interesting footage that I had not seen before.
