In order to separate us

Flies along the border

Interesting. What information do you have on the technical aspects of these craft? In what ways were they superior/inferior to Hindenburg-type airships?
Some may think this Soviet infatuation with dirigibles to be amusing; check out this modern design being prepared for use by the US military today as an advanced military transport vehicle capable of landing whole divisions in war zones on short notice: http://www.aeroscraft.com/#/military/4565225603
These vehicles are extremely useful in construction as well: http://www.aeroscraft.com/#/energy-division/4565064787
