Is that an Orthodox Church or a Mosque? Either way, absolutely STUNNING work...

Found it
Searched on "Russian odd planes" first picture

It is called a Lun-class ekranoplan which isn't exactly a plane

Grrr, Imrahil

That's an odd build, do you know the type of this airplane?

Grrr, Imrahil

It's an Lun-class ekranoplan (ground-effect plane).

Like everything with Russian design philosophy, this one doesn't disappoint in its own ork-like way.

It flew using the lift generated by the ground effect of its large wings when within about four metres (13 ft) above the surface of the water. Although they might look similar to regular aircraft, and have related technical characteristics, ekranoplans like the Lun are not aircraft, seaplanes, hovercraft, nor hydrofoils. Rather, "ground effect" is a distinct technology. The International Maritime Organization classifies these vehicles as maritime ships.

Wingspan: 44.00 m
Length 73.80 m
Height: 19.20 m
Empty Weight: 243,000 kg
Maximum Take-Off Weight: 380,000 kg
Maximum Speed: 500 km/h
Range: 2,000 km
Altitude of Flight: 1-5 m
Aircrew: 10

Just found it myself an hour ago Thanks anyway.
Interesting type of physics behind it. definitely Ork-like, they didn't seem to be very sensitive of looks as long as it functioned correctly.

Another good example of this is the Hind. Not only is it a flying AFV, but because the cockpit is effectively an armoured coffin they decided that the best way to counter incoming missiles was to ram them.

I needed a pair of these in my youth trying to walk across the sand of Sydney beaches in the summer. Like walking on lava
