The craft shown on image isn't Lun and it may mislead readers. (did to me) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.207.94.230 (talk) 12:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The craft pictured in the image is the Korabl-maket, or KM (NATO codename: Caspian Sea Monster), not a Lun. The KM is powered by 10x Dobryin VD-7 turbojets. 8 mounted on stub wings at the bow or nose and 2 mounted on either side of the vertical stabilizer at the rear of the craft.[1][2] The Lun is powered by 8 turbofans and has a radome where the remaining two engines are mounted on the KM.[3] The KM was designed in the 60s and was about 20 m longer than the Lun which was developed during the 70s. --155.215.21.2 (talk) 18:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While the craft may well have been equipped for ASW, the SS-N-22 is a surface-to-surface missile usually used in the anti-shipping role. In the absence of any other information, it's presence as the main armament makes the Lun look like a fast missile craft intended for attacking surface targets. Is there any confirmation that a) it was equipped for ASW or b) that the missiles carried were SS-N-22? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.250.164 (talk) 07:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Ground effect" or "wing-in-ground effect" - which term to use

The page for Orlyonok uses the phrase "ground effect", and "wing-in-ground effect" redirects to "ground effect": with this in mind, I've changed the terminology on this page to match Dom Kaos (talk) 17:55, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changed the image

Since the image shown was actually of Kaspian Monster, not that of Lun, i did change it to the real Lun. I uploaded a screenshot apparently taken from an old Soviet Navy documentary.

Satellite Photo

Google maps has an image of what I believe is the Lun at [4]. Can this article refer to it?

I've added the co-ordinates in the link now. Murkygrom (talk) 12:37, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Defensive armament?

The article (and some other sources) indicate there was a twin 23mm turret facing towards the rear under the tail. However, there is another turret just underneath the forward missile tubes, and can be seen in the image as well as in other locations. The other day I saw recent pictures taken of the remaining example, laid up in a dry dock. It seems to me that the forward turret was configured as a gun emplacement, with a gunsight, a swiveling gimbal mount, and slots where the guns would protrude.

Service Cieling?

Is the information under Service cieling correct, it says the Lun was only able to obtain 16ft? Galinkin (talk) 05:43, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
