After a failure while being towed to port, the Soviet Union’s only completed Lun-Class Ekranoplan was left stranded in shallow waters on the Caspian Sea. The Ekranoplan was a unique Soviet plane-boat hybrid that could fly over a cushion of air only feet above the water’s surface.
The secretive aircraft was now left out in the open. Seen here, this photo was taken in July of 2020 by photographer and urban explorer Lana Sator, who snuck inside the vessel and captured a number of astounding images.
