Iran: Stealth ‘Flying Boat’ Successfully Tested

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.”

Problem is, it’s Iranian Made… And not in any way, “Stealth”. Its a seaplane with an angular hull (and shiny paint) but most assuredly not stealth (especially given the enormous engine stand and propeller sticking out the top). This attempt at propaganda is laughable at best.

Gotta love the saber rattling (so reminiscent of “Bagdad Bob”).

OK, so let’s review…
