this is an ekranoplan....which is basically a russian ground effect vehicle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekranoplan)
The actual Model here is the Lun Class Ekranoplan....one type came fitted with missle launchers and even had anti-submarine missiles.....the type shown here is most likely the spasatel which was supposed to act as a mobile hospital (but unfortunately, it never got into production)
What is this? Question courtesy of Iam.
