Spasatel

from

JSC R.E. Alexeiev Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau

After the accident of the Komsomolets nuclear submarine near Norway it was decided to transform the second, partly finished, Lun into a Search and Rescue (SAR) Ekranoplan. In 1990 and 1991 the Lun was used as a testbed for the Spasatel. Apart from the interior the Spasatel is currently finished and is waiting in a factory in Nizhny Novgorod for some money to finish it.

The Spasatel is designed to locate and rescue people at sea from ships, aircraft or oil rigs and platforms. It can transport up to 150 people, but it can hold up to 500 rescued people.
