There is a different description of a flying vehicle, which in some way specifies some of its technical features.
«Shalva asked the God Shiva to present him an air vehicle, which would be so durable, that neither demigod, demon or human could ever destroy it. In addition, his wish was that the air vehicle could fly wherever he might want to pilot him, and that, specifically, should be of great danger for Yeti, frightening them. Shiva immediately agreed to grand him such blessing. For building such an iron ship, which should be huge and durable enough to prevent one from damaging it, Shalva applied to the demon Maya for help.
It was a huge ship, almost as large as a big city, and it could fly so high, that almost nobody could see where it was flying, therefore, an attack on it could not even be discussed. Those inside the ship could fly just anywhere».
A.G. Vinogradov and S.V. Zharnikova write in «Looking for the lost Truth. Veda means knowledge» (Vologda, 1997):
«As for mass destruction weapon, it seems we were not the first. Our remote ancestors already made this way, and the results of their experiments were terrible. Mahabharata reports about one billion six hundred sixty million and twenty thousand dead, with only twenty-four thousand and one hundred sixty survivors».
The authors further notice that the description of various deadly weapon in Mahabharata is so realistic, that there is no surprise that R. Oppenheimer was reading the following lines of this epic tales describing the work of space weapon of gods during the first nuclear bomb test:
«Dense arrows of flame,
like a great shower,
issued forth upon creation,
encompassing the enemy.
A thick gloom swiftly settled upon the Pandava hosts.
All points of the compass were lost in darkness.
Fierce wind began to blow
Clouds roared upward,
showering dust and gravel.
Birds croaked madly…
the very elements seemed disturbed.
The sun seemed to waver in the heavens
The Earth shook,
scorched by the terrible violent heat of this weapon».
There is yet another fragment of the ancient Indian Epic of Mahabharata, telling about an unsuccessful experiment with a «serpent», which was carried out in summer of 3005 B.C., i.e. around 5 thousand years ago:
«Having heard that sound, councilors ran away. In great grief, they saw an amazing serpent rushing through the air and living behind a white strip like hair parting. In fear, they left the palace full of fire born from the [flying] serpent’s venom, and ran aside. It collapsed as if hit by lightning».
