Whilst wandering around the region, I keep seeing these craft, so far seen around a dozen or so over the last week,...they are all Iranian, coming from Iranian ports. Most stay within the confines of the Strait of Hormuz.

This one, Aramis Net2 94, is lurking around the area that the USN is said to be. Listed as a WIG (wing in grnd) they are infact ekranoplan.




She is not far from where Touska was seized (Touska being the containership that the USN damaged the engineroom a few days ago). Touska's crew have now been repatriated home to Iran via handlers in Pakistan, a small, said to be 7 or 8 people, essential crew remain onboard her and Pakistan are negotiating her return to the Iranians, obviously she will require towage since her engines are disabled.
