THE CASPIAN SEA MONSTER

"What... ...IS... ...it?"


"The Caspian Sea Monster" was what U.S. Intelligence analysts dubbed the Ekranoplan - the largest of a class of maritime vehicles that is neither airplane nor hovercraft, but somewhere in-between - soon after they viewed the first satellite imagery in the 1970's.

You've got to see it, to believe it. Full report, with imagery - STORMBRINGER

Russian policy has focused on controlling the Caspian littoral for decades, in effect for over 200 years. As part of that old and still current strategy they worked on methods to rapidly move assault troops below the radar and seize key installations.

Remember this when considering Putin's current efforts to tie up all energy supplies from Iran and Azerbaijan and control the supply routes to Europe.
