Landing Craft Air Cushion (abbreviated as LCAC) is a modern American transport craft on an air cushion. The first prototypes of the car were created in the 1980s, and serial production began in 1986 and continues to this day. According to estimates, about 90 cars of this type were produced. LCAC is powered by four gas turbines. The hovercraft's armament usually consists of two 12.7 mm machine guns, but can be expanded with additional machine guns or automatic grenade launchers. Design work on the LCAC began in the early 1970s and, due to the significant complexity of the project, continued into the early 1980s. Ultimately, however, a technically advanced, fully amphibious high-speed hovercraft (over 70 knots) was created, capable of carrying a load of up to 75 tons while maintaining a speed of 40 knots. The LCAC can take on board both armored personnel carriers (such as the LAV-25) and MBTs (such as the M1 Abrams). The hovercraft is also very easy to load and unload. Vehicles of this type are used mainly by the US Navy and the Japan Self-Defense Forces. Package Contents: A set of polystyrene plastic models, an exact detailed copy of the real model.
