Come funzionava l’ekranoplano: storia del Mostro del Caspio sovietico che terrorizzò gli USA
Join our Membership program to support our Missione Cultura project and become a patron of Geopop: https://geopop.it/ngCbN During the Cold War, an American spy satellite captured a gigantic Soviet vehicle over the Caspian Sea: the ekranoplan, known as the "Caspian Monster." This incredible vehicle exploited ground effect to glide at low altitude, making it virtually invisible to radar and capable of speeds exceeding 500 km/h. But if it was so revolutionary, why was it abandoned? In this video, we retrace the history of the ekranoplan, how it worked, its advantages and disadvantages, and why it was no longer produced. 00:00 What is the Ekranoplan: the Soviet aircraft that flew over water 01:40 The history of the "Caspian Monster" during the Cold War 02:23 Ekranoplan: how it works and ground effect 03:47 The characteristics of the Russian Ekranoplan 05:38 The disadvantages of the Soviet aircraft: why it was not successful 07:12 The Ekranoplan today: does this aircraft still exist?
