Ever seen anything like this? A Russian amphibious assault vehicle from the past called the KM, which is short for Kaspian Monster.

Just when you thought that life couldn't get any stranger. Bizzarre.

5. It was over 350ft. long, supposedly.

I wanna know what those things along the top of the fuselage are.

4. Saw film of this thing

on Discovery "Wings" Channel

It was only supposed to fly in ground effect but could carry a hell of a load.....

6. Russian technology is always wacky

Mir was a miracle of duct tape and tin cans, but still it got the job done. They always seem to be able solve problems with brute force and utilitarian ingenuity.
