I'm sure it's just as awe inspiring as the radar proof ballistic missle and the 200 mph torpedo.... /sarc

It is called a "Wing in Ground Effect" vehicle. The Soviets played with them quite a big, even producing some very large aircraft.
They are quite efficient, and can carry a goodly payload, but are really too new to make many claims as to their utility on the battlefield.

FLYING BOAT?
Those crazy-headed Iranians! A flying boat is called a "plane."

Plywood has always been hard to detect on radar.

LAWLZ! I cant wait till they get their asses kicked horribly and their muslim fanatical base says"but what happened to all our new toys that supposed to beat the yanks". The US on the other hand is laughing its ass off.Mother of all batttles blah blah blah ....Eat F-15,F-16,F-18,F-22,B-2,B1-B,B-52,tomahawks,apaches, and fast attack and boomer subs. I know what my money is on.

Piston engine with a manifold? Undetectable? Why of course, I should have known. Maybe after they read this they'll increase production? It will be very difficult to defeat this system. For sure this will require more than star war technology.

Uhm. Yep. Very "stealthy". Looks like an ultralight kit plane from the back of a magazine. How fast? Mach I? As in '69 Mustang Mach I speeds? No doubt it will put the F-22 to shame. ;)

Our Radar or theirs?
There is no way in HELL our radar wouldn't pick that thing up. It's just the Iranians blowing smoke AGAIN. Next thing you know, they will say they've developed site to site transport ala Star Trek.

"It is called a "Wing in Ground Effect" vehicle."
That's what I thought too. The biggest problem with ground-effect is that it only works near the ground (har har). The effective flying height is a function of the size of the wings (probably including a lift body). This one looks like it would have to fly close to the water -- vulnerable to any large waves.
