Reminds me of a WW1 flying boat but, it goes slightly faster.

Not impressed.

They say this aircraft can carry two missiles, but the missiles they name weighs 700 lbs. I'm skeptical. Even with the efficiency gains from wing-in-ground a fuselage that small is unlikely to carry the fuel for the range they claim, much less haul nearly half the bomb load of a B-17.

As for reconnaissance, wouldn't a UAV be handier? I think maybe they invented a manned UAV.

These apparently came out in 2010.

I think this is another instance of Iran claiming marvelous weapons when what they have is pretty ordinary.
