I remember seeing something like this from the Russians years ago. Looks the same to me.

Lots of flat surfaces and a prop for radar to bounce off. I think a Predator could down this thing.

I saw that video and I believe that POS could be brought down and destroyed easily with small arms fire. I would imagine that our Naval leaders are ROFL over these recently released video's of Iranian systems that the Russians sold them at their many "Weapons Yard Sales" from the 1970 and 80's era inventory of JUNK

WOW, maybe we should have these smart Iranians start designing our weapons systems for us?

I wonder if this "super modern flying boat" is faster than a deck gun shell, missile or a phalanx gun?

First a super-missile, then a super-torpedo, now a "super-modern flying boat."

The Iranians are starting to resemble a James Bond villain.

Next thing you know, they'll be deploying sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads. Be afraid.

I have this mental picture of a US Navy weapons officer getting a look at this thing approaching a Carrier Battle Group with hostile intent.

The weapons officer double checks his radar, chuckles a bit, puts his coffee down, and then turns this 'ultra modern flying boat' into tiny little shards of metal, plastic, and Iranians.

Who is this Iranian nujbag, Dr. Evil?

These look to have virtually the same silhouette.

Hey Iran:

I don't care if all the weapons you BOUGHT from NON-MUSLIM Russia, North Korea, China etc. work as they say they will.....

They still won't save you when you force the civilized world to act.
