I would call it a Sea/Ocean Jet based on my lack of knowledge, but the International Maritime Organization classifies this vehicle as a maritime ship.
56 second video of this behemoth in attack action. I have not seen anything like this before.
There was only one ever constructed though a second one was designed and constructed for a different purpose.
It was retired from service and sat unused in a naval station until 2020, then relocated to a new home for you to find.
There are 6 Blue Dots, but no Street Views that I could see. The plane is not visible from Satellite views since it seems to be too recent a relocation to have been captured.

HINT
{Spoiler} Inland Sea. Blue dots are located a little farther up the beach from where Google had pinned its location.

I've kept track of this one over the years, so slight advantage to me. Do I get a bonus point for knowing where the 2nd and only other example of the type is stored? Cheers, Sean.

Extra Point is Awarded if you can also find the image title called "Big Plane" that I posted.

I would really like to know the second location. I maybe wrong but I think it is called Spasatel, and located somewhere in a warehouse in Nizhny Novgorod. ..... Regards.

Sean got me thinking about the Spasatel location. Some searching in the city and I think I have located it using Sean's image as a clue.

Even my attempt to use historic imagery couldn't prevent you finding it. As far as I can see, it is complete. The horizontal surfaces have been removed and stored on top of it, but externally it seems complete. I guess, as with all things in the former Soviet Union, it comes down to not having enough money to complete it. Impressive looking beast, finished or not!
