Default Iran's new flying gun-boats?

http://dvice.com/archives/2010/09/iran-shows-off.php

Put some floats under an old WW II F4U Corsair or side guns on a PBY
and watch the dog[fish] fight.

I'm not really a gambler, but I know who I'd put the money on.

Tim, they're called "wing in ground (WIG) effect craft" and the ones in the
pics can't be very stealthy or well armed, nor look big enough to carry an
anti ship missile let alone the targeting, control and launch systems.
The USSR put a lot of effort into the concept as fast troop transports
during the cold war. It seems to be a good design for fast, heavy lifts of
short duration for, maybe, invading Norway.
You can buy one at http://www.seaircraft.com/

I think we have demonstrated that if you put something in the air, we
can shoot it down. Didn't Iran learn anything from Iran Air 655?


True.

I'm still trying to figure out what this little floating box kites are
supposed to prove.

Load it up with a bomb and cruise it into a US warship. Maybe the
Somalia types will buy them too.

Since the Cole, I doubt this is going to be much of a problem for most
war ships. We have phalanx systems that would turn this little piece
of crap into floating debris in seconds if it even looked a little
dangerous. 20mm rounds coming at you around 3000 a minute will spoil
your day.
Our policy has become "shoot first, we ask questions later"


I hear the Navy has a new name for these little boats. They are calling
them "skeet"...

Little man tosk gave up on that non-profitable business, too. His best
hope was sweeping up the stables, but that didn't work out, either.

Yes, M-61 Vulcans can make for a great attitude adjustment.

Your faith in the ability of the military to protect its assets is
mildly humorous.
