It's kinda weird that they keep the bombs right under that craft.. What if they get shot at? Then the whole thing goes boom!

I actually made a bet with my boyfriend as to if jet engines would actually be cost effective on a Zeppelin, and luckily he had some physicist roommates who crunched the numbers and it turns out, even without weapons and even with their improved super Zeppelin design it sadly it wouldn't really benefit from jet engines, as they're too big and have too much forward surface area and therefore too much drag. You COULD modify them to be more like a pipe, but then you'd need to modify the structure and you'd need so much gas to keep them afloat that it would be silly. ALso they'd pretty much have to stop to turn

How do you know that the Kirov's weren't using turboprops?
