Drone captured the massive Soviet-built Project 903 Lun-class ekranoplan lying on the Caspian Sea shore near the city of Derbent in Dagestan on Monday.

The war machine, dubbed the Caspian Sea Monster, was towed from the Kaspiysk naval base to Derbent earlier this year to be exhibited in a yet-to-be-built military-themed park.

However, some on social media have claimed that the ekranoplan has been abandoned on the shore due to damage it suffered during its delivery to Derbent.

Built in the Soviet Union in 1986, the 903 Lun became the first and only missile-carrying ekranoplan in the world. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the project was shut down due to lack of funds.
