This plane floats in water along with flying in the air!!!
We can only imagine a plane that can float in water along with air. But do you know that there used to be a plane like this? Actually, the plane we are talking about is an amphibious plane. These planes are capable of flying in the air as well as floating and walking on water. They were used for sea rescue operations, maritime surveillance and military operations.
It was the pride of the Soviet Union
Let us tell you that the Beriev B-200 was the largest and most powerful amphibious aircraft of its time. It was designed and manufactured by the Soviet Union. This aircraft was known for its enormous capacity and versatility. It is worth noting that this aircraft was capable of flying in the air as well as landing and walking on water. It was also used to extinguish fires. Apart from this, it was also used in maritime surveillance.
It was very important for the Soviet Union
This aircraft was an important military asset for the Soviet Union. Which was also used in rescue operations during natural disasters. Apart from this, it was also very important for monitoring the maritime borders.
How did it end?
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's economy became very weak and due to this the production of large and expensive aircraft like Beriev B-200 stopped. Apart from this, the demand for Beriev B-200 also decreased due to the arrival of new and more modern aircraft. In today's time, such aircraft are rarely developed. Although some companies are still working on such aircraft, but these aircraft are not used on a large scale.
