Beriev is well known for their amphib planes. I dream of winning the lottery and buying a Be-6.

The Iranian government just unveiled their new squadron of seaplane fighters. Kinda remind me of Berievs. Oh, and their supposed to be stealth aircraft. Yeah, right. Good thing they have sea planes for all that desert.

They're only "stealthy" in that they probably can't fly out of ground effect.

Now if they put jets on those things, that would be a real ride. Might take some practice to be accurate on the machine gun.

Exactly right. Those are not "Flying Boats". They are most certainly "WIGs". (Wing In Groundeffect) and can not climb any higher than 30 feet or so above the water.
(Google WIG. There is a lot of info out there)
