long vid I didn't watch (LOL I just heard a guy shouting like Legs Together at dropping paratroopers and quit, ouch ankles):

Sad in a way, but sensible and indeed inevitable. From a simple cost benefit perspective the Russian Navy has better things to spend it's money on. To keep this aging vessel at sea for what amounts to little more than national ego cannot be justified.
It would certainly be interesting to see the 'spawn of the Caspian sea monster' being brought to life, but it strikes me that a 600 ton WIG craft is just way too excessive for search and rescue? I know the former soviet navy had a lot of experience and development time with WiG craft or ekranoplans , but it is as if the modern Russinn armed forces are catching old Soviet bug of needing to build the biggest or the heaviest or the fastest; rather than actually focussing on what they need. Don't get me wrong, I think a WiG craft would be immensely practical for Arctic use - especially if it can touch down on land (ice) as well as water., but does it really need to be 600 tons?
This is not for search and rescue. It is to transport heavy equipment to the new Arctic island outposts throughout the year at any ice condition. Even equipment larger than can be transported by An-124.
