your radars can't see it and your point defense systems can't target it. while it can launch it's 30 km cruise missiles and turn back.

sure you can see them from 30 km lol. the point is your radars can't see it because of it's LO design.

well LO stands for low observable. i don't get any joy from scaring some one, i just stated the fact that your ships can't detect this boat until it get close enough to fire it's missiles. neither one of weapons mounted on your ships can hit the boat, it's not propaganda, it's not bravado it's simply the fact.

I had no clue your toy boats were capable of such devastation. I will inform the commander of the USN immediately. Thanks for the heads up!
