So... underpowered and non maneuverable? Id fly it.

"Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the few countries which managed to design, build and use flying boats in a short time," said Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi

Glenn Curtiss did it in 1911.

So... they are caught up to 1920s technology... :boring_12

Actually it's not prudent to totally ignore this weapon. It if slow enough -it might be a viable platform.

Sometimes low-tech can be more effective than hi-tech.

Probably with low heat signatures

If it's slow enough, it might look like a Flock of Seagulls on the radar? *shrug*

Some of you laugh need to take a look at the situation we face with defending Inchon. If/when the NK's come they'll be doing it in hover crafts and small shit like this. We can't move anything heavy in to defend the area because most of the ground is to swampy for wheel/track vehicles and too shallow and muddy for anything bigger than a RHIB. Given a scenario like that with the AirForce busy handling other issues and it becomes a very effective element of menuver.

And a very effective means of defense:http://world.guns.ru/grenade/mk19mod3-1.jpg

Some HEDP rounds will take care of just about whatever ails you, short of an APC or Main Battle Tank

Somewhere there is a squadron of Lawn Tractors missing engines. They might need carbon fiber bullets to make weight for takeoff.
