Iran: Stealth 'Flying Boat' Successfully Tested

Tuesday, April 04, 2006

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran said Tuesday it had tested what it called a "super-modern flying boat" capable of evading radar. State TV showed a brief clip of the boat's launch.

"Due to its advanced design, no radar at sea or in the air can detect it. It can lift out of the water," the television said. It said the boat was "all Iranian-made and can launch missiles with precise targeting while moving."

On Monday Iran said it tested a second new radar-avoiding missile during war games in the Persian Gulf that the military says are aimed at preparing the country's defenses against the United States.

The new surface-to-sea missile is equipped with remote-control and searching systems, the state-run television reported Tuesday.

On Friday, the country tested the Fajr-3, a missile that it said can avoid radars and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads. Iran also has tested what it calls two new torpedoes.

The Revolutionary Guards, the elite branch of Iran's military, have been holding their maneuvers — code-named the "Great Prophet" — since Friday, touting what they call domestically built technological advances in their armed forces

But some experts say it appears some of the technology has come from other countries, possibly Russia, and some experts also have questioned just how adept the missiles are at evading radar.

It has not been possible to verify Iran's claims for the new armaments. But the country has made clear it aims to send a message of strength to the United States amid heightened tensions over its nuclear program.

The U.N. Security Council has demanded Iran give up uranium enrichment, a crucial part of the nuclear process. Washington is pressing for sanctions if Tehran continues its refusal to do so, though U.S. officials have not ruled out military action as an eventual option, insisting they will not allow Iran to gain a nuclear arsenal.

In Russia, a Kremlin-allied lawmaker on Tuesday criticized the recent torpedo and missile tests as a counterproductive show of might at a time when it should be trying to allay fears that it is trying to build a nuclear weapon.

"It is clear that Iran is demonstrating its muscle in order to forestall any discussions of a possible operation using force against Iran," Konstantin Kosachev, the head of the parliamentary foreign affairs committee, was quoted as saying according to the RIA Novosti news agency.

Iran said the torpedo tests were conducted on Sunday and Monday. The torpedo — called a "Hoot," or "whale" — is able to move at up to 223 mph, too fast for any enemy ship to elude.

Iran has routinely held war games over the past two decades to improve its combat readiness and test locally made equipment such as missiles, tanks and armored personnel carriers.

Iran launched an arms development program during its 1980-88 war with Iraq to compensate for a U.S. weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and a fighter plane.

Shalom WhiteKnight,

Thank you for posting this!

May you be blessed by Yahweh!

Here is a picture-

Wow!!!!!!!! Things are heating up ladies and gentlemen. Are you ready for a spiritual and physical battle on a scale this world could have never imagined? Put on your armor, rise to battle warriors of the Most High. The enemy is raising an army, and it gathers at our boarders. It has a mind of destruction, and hate. It is coming for US. But let us call our warriors to arms to meet this army in battle. Let us call on The King of Kings to lead us to Victory. We will lose many, but many will be saved. Lets march to War!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things are definitely heating up. On the other hand, don't worry too much about the weapons of the enemy. Remember David and Goliath? Not only was Goliath a giant he was a technological wonder of his time, he had all the lastest in armor and weapons. What did David have? A rock!

Things are getting heated up. No idea when the war begins. BatYah thanks a lot for the pic.

Adonaicole yes u are right about David and Goliath but ifwar break. It going to be very bad and countless will suffer they most will suffer from economic,fiancial and human loss. There is going to be choas and confusion and massive meltdown not just iran around the world. If u read Matthew 24 chapter u will see what Jesus Christ told about end times. That is what we are facing and we all going to face. Revelation is real.


May God bless u all.

I have no illusions about war, having been there done that. I made that post to encourage people. Regardless of what is going on around us, God can and will save those he chooses to. Even as we speak, many christians are already suffering and dying for the cause.

You are welcome

Amen to whats being said!

Well you may not worry about the weapons of this enemy, but you will come to know them. If you plan on doing as we are demanded by our king, and get out of your comfort zone, and go and reach those in need. You will see this enemy and all his weapons. Father never promised to keep you safe from them. Matter of fact he said exspect to be persecuted. Many die everyday from these weapons. Everytime I call this forum to wake up and prepare for battle, all I get is a response of "oh we just have to sit here and Christ will take care of everything" "we aren't supposed to do anything" "I don't worry, everything will be just fine". Wake up!!!!! We are to be the front lines of Christ army. We are called to serve, not be served. I will say no more, because the response I get when I go ask for warriors is sad. We should spend more time on our face in prayer and in battle than we do on this forum. This forum is a place of refuge, not battle.
Lets be together in this battle. In prayer and standing. Following Christ means to follow him everywhere. That includes when he goes to War. David fought a man of flesh. We fight the powers of this world. No stone will do god justice in this battle. That is why we are given something sharper then a double eged sword. The Word of God. I see what you are saying. But it is not the fullness to what we are called.

I agree with you completely End-Time Calling when you say,



I think you misunderstand me, I know we are called to be warriors, I know we are called to fight. I know what war is, I know the deafening sound of it, the sickening stench of it and the horrifying sight of it and I am prepared to fight anyway. The bible tells us over and over to "be strong and courageous". I know much more about the weapons that we will be facing then I would like to discuss on this forum because it would discourage many if they knew. I also know that it is God who strengthens me, he is my rock, he is my fortress and he supplies the armor. Do you understand where I'm coming from? I'm in complete agreement with you.

If you are a little boy with a handful of rocks you do not go against a giant with the latest weapons and armour, unless God has strengthened you and given you the faith that he has granted you victory. Do you see the point I'm trying to make, I want to encourage everyone to "be strong and courageous". I want to call everyone to be a warrior, not to be afraid but to trust in God, no matter how fierce the battle is.

I hear ya man! Lets do it together then! Lets bring this forum together in battle. Let us call all whom are willing, to go to battle for our lord. It will not be pretty, matter of fact it will get where some do not want to go on, and some don't make it to go on. But lets call those whom are willing to fall in line with us and march to battle. I love you and hope we can become strong siblings in Christ.
