The Ekranoplan, which was first developed in the Soviet Union in the 1940s, flies over smooth ground or water at an altitude similar to its width, and uses the ground effect obtained to achieve high speed. It is a general term for Wing In Ground-Effect (WIG) vehicles. The Lun (or Luni) class is a 400-ton class practical missile Ekranoplan, completed in 1987; its NATO code name is Utoka. A jet engine for sending air to the underside of the main wing during takeoff was placed at the front of the fuselage; the sailing speed was 500km/h, and six 3M80 Mosquito anti-ship missiles were installed as weapons.
