This is classic:

Pity it's in French - whenever I come across a link to Wikipedia relating to modern weapons and warfare I always end up reading for ****ing HOURS opening one tab after another because of all the interesting articles. Wiki article.

ye olde caspian sea monster. There was a documentary on that a while back. During one of the first tests, after about 15 minutes they noticed something on the horizon, took about a minute to sink in that it was the opposite shore !

main problem was the cost of the engines - you needed about 10 to get started but only two to cruise. Then again some of them could take off from a beach. And can you imagine something that size coming in under the radar and skimming across fields at 500Km/hr.
