We need some dedicated snipers.I think India lacks in this front.A sniper can strike fear in the enemy's mind...any information on that??

How about the Ekranoplan?

I'd kill for my country to get one of those

Although retired sometime ago, I heard somewhere that the Russians are planning to revive this concept. It is a very viable design Wouldn't you agree?

God, that thing look scary to look at!

Ekranoplan | English Russia

Soviets were damn good designers.. Very innovative ideas they had..
I just wonder if so much bureaucracy was not there in Soviet then what they would have made... US would have very tough time catching up..
