In what appears to be an attempt to convince the world that it's ready to play with the big boys when it comes to military prowess, Iran unveiled the Qaher-313, a "super jet" with "state-of-the-art" technologies and "radar-evading" capabilities.
The only problem? It's totally, completely, fake. And now it comes with a fake photoshopped background, too.

Looks like the good guys won’t be able to shoot this brick out of the sky, then.
Too bad.

exactly what I was thinking, and what is that downward angle at the end of the wings supposed to accomplish?Trying to reduce vortices and copy the Boeing "Bird of Prey" which was a kludge if you read up on how it flew. They don't need it for yaw control, since they have vertical fins...
This thing is just a hot mess....

I thought it said ‘as a plastic-made aircraft’ not plywood. As a plastic plane, it might be shot from a giant slingshot, and could be ‘stealthy’. [Ha ha sarcasm]
However, they do learn propaganda from the Old Soviets .... it's just that nowadays it is hard to fool the foreigners. But I suspect the ‘news’ is for domestic consumption, nationalism etc.

The real question is who is this supposed to fool? The western world knows this thing is a fake, no other military is worried about ever seeing it in combat, I doubt much of the Iranian population believes the propoganda any more than the North Koreans. Does Achmedinnerjacket set up these photo ops (shops) to convince the Mullahs who are really in charge that he is a competent front man?

From the pictures of the instrument panel, it seems they found a nice 8-Track cassette player to mount at the top.
Talk about advanced technology!

Impress the Arab Street? Perhaps, the target audience has to be non-aerodyamically savvy to say the least....

My ‘76 Ford F-150 is a stealth truck, too. You’ve never seen it flying, HAVE you? Hmmm, thought not.
To: taildragger
The only reason they chose this design is magic carpets are not stealthy and it’s difficult to mount weapons pods.
To: Poison Pill
Depends on how you transcribe it. These people are nuts.
To: Pan_Yan
Yeah, but does it shoot skeet?!

...as long as you keep the “spinner rims” off of it and properly stow the hydraulics.

Oh well, it’ll probably be easier to hit on the ground anyway.
