It sounds like a movie but it’s all true: a huge Russian Navy hovercraft, landed on a crowded beach during a quiet day at sea. Panic and confusion but also a hint of awareness, because the area is recognized as a military area, and has long been marked as not swimmable. So the real question is: Why were all those people quietly in an off-limits area?
Still, the video is impressive: the hovercraft, Zubr Class and 57 meters long, lands without even trying to decelerate on a crowded beach making its way through people without, fortunately, causing any injuries. Needless to emphasize the stir, including media, that the affair has caused; for while it is true that the beach was interdicted, it is also true that only by sheer chance did not result in death in a at least impetuous landing of the behemoth
