1:144 A-90 Orlenok Ekranoplan
The A-90 Orlyonok is a ground effect vehicle designed in the Design Bureau of Rostislav Alexeev, designer of the famous passenger hydrofoil highspeed ships Raketa, Meteor, and others. Orlyonok was intended to airdrop forces with a range of 1,500 km range and a speed up to 500 km/h. With a speed like an aircraft, the Ekranoplan has ship-like carrying capacity. The front end of the Orlyonok can open sideways and take on board up to 200 fully equipped marines or two armored vehicles (tanks, APC or IFV). A-90 is not affected by sea mines and other obstructions because it flies several meters above water level or other relatively flat surface and can land on a beach. Three such ground effect units were built, the first of them entered service with the Soviet Naval Aviation in 1977.
