supposed first flight...

The photograph shows an Iranian fighter jet, the brand-new F-313, soaring high above snow-capped mountains. There’s just one problem – savvy Iranian Internet users quickly realised the photo of the jet was clearly one taken during the jet’s unveiling two weeks ago in Tehran, and superimposed onto a photo of Damavand mountain.

Ping.
Is that Grumpy Cat in the cockpit?
BUMP
I doubt that thing could fly even if it was real
so THIS is why the norks have been in iran....
It looks like something ILM could have done in 1979.
Nose and body texture looks suspiciously like an F-22! :-)
Put a hundred horse Mercury on the back of that boat and go water skiing.
Nothing new here- Reuters photoshops “news” photos all the time.
1. A photo of the place you wish to fly the jet
2. A photo of a mock-up jet
3. A Photoshop program
4. And now your jet can fly and destroy enemies!”
It’s a cool looking little guy.
Too bad it’s not real.
That’s amazing, I never got the decals that straight on my models..
The Iranians REALLY don’t understand about propaganda, do they?
First, do a mock up like this. Actually, make 12.
Second, get some disposable agents busted buying some sort of sophisticated engine and heads up display from, say Turkey.
Third, have LONG Range photos of the mock up taken doing tests along some isolated runway. Have these smuggled out by Kurds to Newsmax or Janes Defense.
Fourth, have a drunk Iranian pilot lose his briefcase in, say Paris, at the airshow. It will contain computer analysis of the fictional F313 vs. the F18, F35, and F22. Show that it slots in superior to the F35, but less than the F22
Fifth, leave the mock ups on a runway as a sat passes by, then cover up and randomly shoot a bunch of guards for leaving them out.
Sixth, deny everything.
The entire world will believe you have a super-duper airforce and Lockeid and Boeing will send over dancing girls to blow you.

Wow that is a really good strategy! I like the use of denial as a form of propaganda!
