Not to mention the US Navy's SES program and the later relaunched sea flyer program with air cushion removed, however they never seems to move out of research stage. It does seems though the west is focused on rigid body type hovercrafts (which allows for more efficient non-hoovering mode when speed isn't required) rather than traditional large hovercrafts like Zubr.

There is a report that says that Greece sold its Zubr Class to China I proposed this few years ago and it may be true let's wait for more info

2 have been delivered and 2 under build more can follow to build 2 flotillas for Zubr LCAC

The article at the link provides no reference for the claim. It just says that Greece has agreed to do so.

We will need to see official announcements and documentation to bolster this claim. WantChinaTimes has been saying the same...but they are not very accurate.

Since China now can build their own...to their specifications...I would be surprised to see China buying old used vessels rather than simply building their own.

But we shall see.

It seems clear that China will have at least four of these...and may well either or build or acquire more.

Found this picture what appears to be 4th Zubr Class although we know a 4th unit was confirmed a while back

Doesn't seem to be any more units under construction as of yet

Guys, I am going to set up a separate thread about the PLAN Zubr Large Air Cushion Landing Craft.

This current thread is meant to be about the PLAN LCAC that will be used on the TYpe 071 and other amphibious assault vessels, simiar to the US Navy LCAC.

I will have to find a way to move those posts to the new thread here oin the new forum, but ill add the link to the new thread:

HERE ON THE NEW THREAD

Please continue PLAN Zubr discussions there.
