minus-squareKornblumenratte@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoWell – they’d have to lurk like loitering munition – cruising. I think it looks far more like an ekranoplane than a submersible craft. The 10 passenger + 1 pilot capacity is interesting in that context: according to the source of all wisdom and knowledge, the international rules for ground effect vehicles apply only to crafts carrying 12 passengers and more.
