With the landing gear retracted into a smooth belly there are hardly any broad perpendicular edges for enemy radar to detect.
which would catch radar as well and it's propelled by an integrated jet engine not an exterior propeller.
All of these features lead to a smooth design and a minimal radar profile. This wouldn't be the first time Iran announced a stealth vehicle

When running the radar draws 5 watts of power the same as a low-energy light bulb;
the plan had been to emplace eight of the small radar stations but new crevassing of the ice prevented the team landing by plane at many planned locations.
Daily bulletins remotely posted by the installed radars reveal they are working well. The data though will remain a mystery until the researchers return to download them in person next year.
It hasn't hit the radar. Smartplanet: We've asked water experts about why it matters.
