Proactive thought......

Please keep the following discussion focused on the aircraft... not the politics of the situation.  Thanks.

The comments section at that link, makes for some very fun reading. 

Building it's not the hard part. Getting it to go where you want it to without fail is. Also, it carries a very small payload from what the article says. Probably would be a better cruise missile than bomber.

A SCUD with wings? No one said it could return to base. A bottle rocket is unmanned too.

Silkworm variant with lots of wing area added...

OK it does have enough lift power for a MK82, but the rest of the specs makes me think that they dont have the datalink power to put more than 1 exocet on it

I like the cheezy gold paint.

I have to agree that the payload looks way to small to be any threat, just Iran getting into the news again

The aesthetics are quite cool.. but its payload does seem rather limited... hardly call it a big threat.

Well you can slam it into an oil tanker in a strategic spot...

I suppose it can be usefull but I wouldn't be tooooo worried about them..though at a low altitude they could be quite nasty

Gold Finger.. where you least expect it! 007 lives..again.
