So they have a GEV that can act in the same capacity as a WW II PT boat, but way faster. That is good innovative thinking. I wish we had something similar. It would certainly serve the Coast Guard well in their efforts.

Remember when Libya invaded Chad with their modern mechanized army and got their asses handed to them by a bun ch of yahoos in small Toyota 4WD trucks armed with Milan 90s?

Remember when we had several helocopters shot down in Somalia by a bunch of drugged up peasants armed with shitty RPGs?

Remember when the Russian got run out of Afghanistan by a bunch of ragheads armed with Stingers?

Anyone who is smug about our superiority just really doesn't understand the nature of warfare. You better respect your adversary, because if you don't he will certainly take advantage of that lack of respect.







Good Point





The thing is thats the ONLY ONE! they don't have a fleet of thoes missle magnets it is just one.



like when the russians used to fly circular flight patterns during their Mayday parades to make it look like they had a ton of aircraft when they only had a couple.

If that is Iran's demonstration of superior technology they are gonna be screwed, blued & tatoo'd.  When the current crop of XBOX operators fly a Preditor Drone within a few miles UNSEEN they'll light up the sky with stealth flying boat confetti.

Yep, that's a fairly stealthy design.

Just not in the frequencies used by RADAR, IR, EYEBALL, or NOISE detectors.

It'll hide real good when it gets splashed by an F-18; the pieces will be dispersed to far to bother hunting up.

Iran is trying it's hand at a show of force.  As an ARFcom Keyboard Commando, I'm unimpressed.  I think Iran knows if the US decides to roll them over, it will be pretty easy.  We're good at wrecking extremist regimes, but putting them back together is rather hit or miss.



Iraq should teach us a lesson, when you blow the fuck out of something, leave it that way and move on!

Your disinformation campaign won't work. The Iranians know you're just saying that to discourage them from investing more money in this awesome new weapon. No doubt this is because they have found a weakness to exploit. If Iran concentrated a good 50% of their military funding in this fine weapon system they'd be able to clear the Middle East of the evil American imperialists.

I found some specs...

Iran to produce flying boats
TEHRAN, Jan. 22 (MNA) -- A number of Iranian engineers have designed a two-seat flying boat in the Malek Ashatar University of Industry in Shiraz which is able to fly over water for 1-4 meter distance and even 50 meter distance in emergency to jump over obstacles, according to a report released in the Persian Gulf exhibition that wound up on Jan. 21 in Kish.
The flying boat is in final stages to be produced massively. It speeds as fast as 160 km per hour and can be continuously driven for two hours with a fuel tank of 60 liter. The boat is fully made by composite and is equipped with an Austrian-made 110 horse piston engine.



The report added that the university plans to develop the initial design of the boat to produce a flying boat with a capacity of eight seats. The developed boat will need two engines.



The flying boat might be used for escorting in the sport ceremonies too.



Less than ten countries such as Russia, Germany, China, the U.S., and Australia have so far been able to obtain the production technology of this sort of boat in the world.









That would be a Rotax 914 then, the same motor predator uses.  Guess they must have found one of our crash sites.    Seriously, anything with a 110hp motor can carry maybe a 1000 pound payload, thats what 3 arfcommers or 12 North Koreans?

In Afganistan we defeated a ragtag Militia type army that was scattered and disorganized.



We did it by buying them off, not by force of arms. We have employed force aganist very few of the enemy there.


In Iraq we defeated an organized, equipped, centralized army that probably was twice the Army Iran can throw together.
Yeah. We can do that pretty well. Afterwards? Guerilla stuff? Not so good.


I'd say it's Sabre Rattling at it's finest.
Without a doubt. If I was an Iranian official I would have to wear Depends.


If you were in ANY Arab Army, would YOU want to fight us?


Here is what I learned in Iraq. Arabs tend to be congenital idiots. They are invariably filthy, shortsighted morons with a life philosophy designed around bizarrre ideation. They are poor soldiers, mainly because they cannot use their imaginations, nor are they oriented towards success in any real way.

I also learned that if I was a heathen that I could wreak some serious death and destruction of the US Army and USMC all by my little lonesome. I could do it and be home for supper and a shower seven days a week.

There was once a documentary done where they interviewed SOCOM personell. One SeAL said, "It isn't that we are good. We aren't. We suck. it's just that they are that bad." remember that.



I think that if we have learned anything in the past 60 or so years, it is that when faced with a fanatical enemy, bent on our destruction and willing to martyr themselves in order to achieve that goal, that it is best to accommodate them.

Does anyone know if such a thing is even seaworthy?  Maybe I've seen too many hydroplane crashes on smooth water but the thoughts of taking that thing up to 100 mph with any kind of chop is pretty scary without taking any fire.

Flying boat thingies shouldn't really come as a surprise, after all this is the same bunch that launched human wave assaults in the Iran Iraq war. They gathered large numbers of  teenage boys, gave them a koran, a plastic key to get into heaven(made in asia somewhere), strapped explosives to them and had them assault Iraqi positions. So, flying boat thingies seem pretty advanced for these guys.

You guys are failing to see the big picture here.

Iran is obviously in the market for new "high-tech" weapons. I smell a great business opportunity here.

I can't wait to get home from work and start working on this. I've already got an idea for a stealth mobile SAM site, an unmanned reconnaissance vehicle, some laser guns, and helmet mounted IR vision.

I've got at least 2-3 rubbermaid tubs full of legos at home that should have everything I need in them to make this stuff. I bet they'll think the little space helmets with the translucent red flip visors will be really cool. Can you say IR technology? Not to mention the possible encryption uses. I already have an idea for that. Write in blue ink, then scribble over it in red ink. Flip down the red lego visor and now you can read the message!

State department will never let you export this kind of High Tech to Iran. You will need some help in smuggling the technology out. Maybe you can sell it to the Indians and then they can sell it to the Iranians
