That's a cold war era beast on the Caspia, and I don't think they still build the military version, but they have the technology to build it.

I don't know if Russians will make any more of these, but I know that Chinese are producing and testing the right now.
There was some interesting documentary on Discovery recently, about new train concepts. One of them was train which would use ground effect to move, just like Ekranoplan. It was explained that it uses the same principle as piece of paper, which, when thrown, doesn't fall straight to the ground, but glides on the air.
