The world’s first hybrid aeroboat was put through its paces on the waters of the Pirogovsky Yacht Club, near Moscow, on Wednesday.

The vessel designed and built by IIAAT Holding, a joint venture between Russia’s International Institute for Advanced Aerospace Technologies and Indian firm Millennium Aerodynamics, with the support of the Skolkovo Foundation, can traverse water, land, ice, sand and swampland.

Five such aeroboats will be used in India for search and rescue operations.
