Claim 3: “Hydrofoil ships operated on rivers and sea lines inside the country and were supplied to 35 countries of the world”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence does not contain information regarding the number of countries (35) to which these ships were supplied. The Wikipedia results provided are irrelevant (discussing missiles and aircraft), and the web results discuss general usage in the USSR/post-Soviet countries or unrelated Japanese lines, but do not confirm the '35 countries' figure.
