    Is that a hovercraft on the bottom left?

    After seeing the rest of the image, that doesn’t seem like an unreasonable guess.

    Probably! Hovercraft were actually widely produced by both sides during the Cold War! Some real big beasts too

    Super massive and amphibious doesn't sound like ever getting out of the Baltic Sea.
