The “red things” are inlet covers.

Ummmm ...

Yes. I got that.

The other fellow seemed to think that the "engine inlets" were on the bottom of the "aircraft".

As you can see, I strongly suspect that thing of being a stage-prop.

And yes, I get your point about the Iranians being able to operate aircraft. That's a different skill set and a different industrial and engineering base from designing and building aircraft.

Please look at the walls of the room in the photos. There isn’t even a door big enough to roll the “fighter” through to the outside world! I guess he’ll just have to blast his way out with one of those nifty rockets under his wings...wait a minute....! No racks. No rockets. No brains.

Looking at the vid I don’t see any intakes on the bottom. Looks like these intakes would not work at high angles of attack anyway.

This is probably just a model. A lot of countries will do that but make a 1/3 scale that shows all the pieces.

They may not have the ability to make this but they can buy it.
