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.

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.
