The WIG Page Datasheet no. 26
The Lun development programme started in 1970, but assembly of the first Lun did not start until 1983. On 16 July 1986 it was launched into the Volga river. Spring 1987 trails started on the Caspian Sea.
The first Lun was designed and built as a missile launching strike craft. The second Lun was under construction during the collapse of the Soviet Union and work stopped. The design of the Lun is very similar to the KM (Casp A), but it is smaller, has a low wing and no fin mounted engines. It is equipped with eight NK-87 turbofan engines. Summer '97 Russian television showed the Lun half sunk in the water at Kaspiisk Naval Air Base.
