Hi all,

this little thing looks like being a ground effect vehicle. I mean it may also be an aircraft, because it flies, if only low.

It looks like being of Soviet origin. I cannot name it? Do you? Number "305" or "I305" produced no result by Google search.

If so, please tell me/us!

Thank you for every answer!

Regards, RT

It is usually described as an airboat. It does not 'fly', but skims a water surface. Technically, it is a ram-air ground-effect vehicle. Different designs differ in the amount of contact they have with the water surface.
