Iran Introduces Flying Boats With Machine Guns, Scares Nobody
As part of the country's Sacred Week of Defense, which commemorates its eight-year war with Iraq, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps unveiled three squadrons of new flying boats yesterday to the delight of the handful of people who actually support the Revolutionary Guard. CNN reports that the boat, known as the Bavar-2, is packed with a machine gun and cameras, while the BBC emphasizes the boat's unique surveillance infrastructure, which includes technology that allows it to avoid radar. Of course, that's also what the Revolutionary Guard claimed in 2006, when it unveiled a previous line of missile-equipped flying boats -- and comprehensively failed to scare anyone. Don't expect the Bavar-2 to strike fear in the hearts of international leaders, either. The boats are, after all, painted in a decidedly non-threatening shade of periwinkle.

You have got to be kidding.

Looks like a fun toy to have but not exactly military spec. I think you could use a fishing net to take that thing down.

This is just one of many new types of military equipment. See more at:

I think that they are neat. I want one. The funny thing is they only show 1 flying at a time. The rest are probably just boats with not enough engine to fly. I wouldn't want to land on rough water.

At first look at these personal watercraft, I thought they were funny as h e l l (and still do). But, then I began to think. Why would they create such a low tech war machine? I think this is their answer to the stuxnet virus. If this virus, or one better, was to get into all the computers of the world, all technology would grind to a halt. They would have the only airforce. Whoever rules the sky will win the war. This is either a joke or really really smart.

They would've been great to have in World War I.

I'm worried about the flying boat gap. At least we have jet ski's to counter this threat.
Now if we only had Fricking sharks with laser beams on their heads....
