Man Rig - Zubr-class Hovercraft Edition

The Zubr-class air-cushioned landing craft is the largest hovercraft on Earth. Originally designed during the waning days of the Cold War and built by Almaz Shipbuilding in St Petersburg, Zubr-class measure 187 feet long and 84 feet tall with just over a 5 foot ground clearance (draught). They're capable of transporting up the three main battle tanks (at 150 tons apiece), ten armored vehicles and 140 troops, 8 APCs, or as many as 500 troops, 555 tons of men and equipment altogether.
