Sorry I was too busy laughing at this thing...

Don't see anyplace for a bomb or missile (Not that this thing could carry much payload its engine looks like it came off my lawnmower). Except for recce from isolated islands these things are not very useful.

Popping up from an islet 4 kms away and coming towards you skimming just over the waves is not that bad a deal. No need for a bomb or missile. It IS the missile! Martyrdom anyone???

Might work against a unescorted Tanker, but against a CIWS armed ship it would be toast. Its big and its subsonic making it easy pray for something that can turn seagulls to soup. A C-802 would be a better investment.
