Iran: Stealth 'Flying Boat' Successfully Tested Tuesday, April 04, 2006
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran said Tuesday it had tested what it called a "super-modern flying boat" capable of evading radar. State TV showed a brief clip of the boat's launch.
"Due to its advanced design, no radar at sea or in the air can detect it. It can lift out of the water," the television said. It said the boat was "all Iranian-made and can launch missiles with precise targeting while moving."

More russian toys I see.
I think the lawn chair behind the cockpit is a pusher engine.
If that thing can evade radar, then my Lanciar can outrun an F-16.

Huh.
Woulda been a little more stealthy to go UNDERWATER instead.
But hey, they are "super modern" afterall.

It probably evades ground radar. To an AWACS, it's a jumbo jet

If that is a goat sitting in the lawn chair strapped to the back,...then I guess they have developed a flying goat.
