What you had in mind was probably the period of 15-20 final years of USSR's existence, when it was something resembling a real socialism. However, let me remind you, USSR existed for about 70 years, and most of them were veeery far from a "good life". Any extent of "good life" was limited time wise to approx. Brezhnev's ruling period, and only to those loyal to the regime (and to those unloyal, there were prisons and psychiatric clinics). Tell about a "good life" to those multiple millions who perished during state invoked famines, mass deportations, red terror, mass killings, war crimes towards civil population, literally countless innocent victims of GULag, etc. Also, tell about a "good life" to those many millions of peasants, who were effectively slaves, had no ID, no right of free moving, no real payment for their hard work, all the way until the end of 1960'ies. Speaking about bullsh*tting, I meant state propaganda, again both inside and outside the country. Blatant, sheer, boundless. Nazis and Goebbels didn't invent state propaganda; they only borrowed it from the red comrades, just like concentration camps and other attributes. These regimes were like twin brothers.

@@jibicusmaximus4827 it saves fuel _for the smaller craft._ Since they’re made to be small and light they dont have alot of fuel, but carrying them into battle allows them to save the fuel they would use to fly to and from the airfield. To use your towing example, if you towed another car then yes you’d use more fuel, but the other car wouldn’t use any. And if the other car was a racecar with a small and light fueltank, you could put it inside a semi-truck and since the Semi doesn’t need to worry about being light and nimble on a racetrack it can have much larger fuel tanks. Which means even tho it would use more fuel, then it wouldn’t have to stop to refuel on the way to and from the racetrack, while the racecar wouldn’t be able to make that trip on it’s own

Of course, human society is incomparably more complicated than that, but "tit for tat" could be a good basis for modern day philosophy. Can't avoid the problem of conflict escalation, though. Knowing humans, I was thinking of something more like a nuclear parity between superpowers, achieved through small arms regulations. You can bribe a judge, but you can't bribe a bullet.

Actually they could be picked up by radar. Almost any ship in the 1960s US Navy or Coast Guard could have gotten a radar signature off the ekranoplan. SONAR would lose once it got up to speed and lifted from the water. US naval radar has and will always be a two fold set up of aerial radar and surface radar to pick up air craftbas well as surface vessels and in the 1960s was good enough to pick up small craft such as fishing vessels and lobster boats.

Initially hydraulics were considered, but to counter recoil force, the system itself would require flexible tubing made out of materials, which did not exist at the time. Amount of force which was produced by recoil was so great that any hydraulic system would have exploded after first shot. Muzzle breaks were also installed, however, as calculations have shown, it showed signs of damage after first shot and was ripped out after 3rd, resulting in exploded barrel.
