Unreal. Flying boats. But, I'm not putting this in the 'its a joke' column just yet. To me, these things could actually be a threat to parts of a fleet. Depending on what they they use to construct them, these things could fly under the radar, lost in the 'scatter' of the ocean, and actually 'kamikazee' into a ship; whether it be a warship or a tanker makes no difference. And they'd be really hard to stop at first. Apparently ,they've made a fleet of them, based on this video. Were they to put an actual jet engine into one, we may be talking some issue here. But, they can't keep their civilian aircraft flying well, let alone afford to put something that 'advanced' onto this. I'd hate to pilot one into open ocean- lakes, sure, but 10-ft swells? No thanks... 'Til then, I'd say this is the threat we're more likely to face... Thanks to Sniper- workin' overtime...
