Description
Seldir battle dirigible "Burevestnik" (Stormannouncer) assaulting Karag cities during the Small Esertos War (1932 - 1939).

Burevestnik was designed as a heavy weapon air carrier. It's rather fragile body filled with helium provided little defense, whereas it's main armament could attack targets way beyond anything else's range.

Burevestnik could operate as a long-term airbase guarding any land point from the air (in virtually any height) or as a battleship of sorts, attacking land and air targets from the comforting and then-unreachable heights of Esertosian lower stratosphere. For that purpose it could also carry a formidable load of bombs.

The main propulsion were three huge jet engines in early development stage, which allowed Burevestnik to move rather fast despite it's size. It's maneuverability was on the other hand typically slow.

Seldir Burevestnik fleet was decommissioned soon after others found out their way to stratosphere with airplanes. Although formidable in armament, it couldn't survive too long on the battlefield unless Seldirs achieved absolute air supremacy using more "standard" means.
