Strategic Flying Carpet Forces?

Iran plans to weave world's largest carpet
The mammoth rug from the spiritual homeland of Persian carpets will cover almost 6,000 square metres and will fetch some $8.2 million, its makers told Reuters on Saturday…

The carpet has been ordered by the Sheikh Zayed mosque that is being built in Abu Dhabi, after Iran scoured its Gulf neighbours for contracts that might help revive business for local wool merchants, dye makers and weavers…

Iran is hoping to break its own record for Gargantuan carpets, which it says is currently held by the 4,400 square metre carpet woven for the Sultan Qaboos mosque in Muscat.”

No doubt this is a thinly-disguised cover story for them to build the delivery system for their planned A-bomb. Looks good on paper, but the question remains – will it really fly?
