" Three Iranian "Saeqeh" (Thunder) fighter jets, said by Iran to be similar to the American F-18, fly by at the beginning of an annual military parade to mark Iran's eight-year war with Iraq in the capital Tehran. Iran on Saturday warned the West of the "serious consequences" of launching any attack against the Islamic republic after showing off a new longer-range missile in public for the first time. "
The F-22 would take them out without the " Saeqeh " pilots knowing what hit them and make it look like a turkey shoot.

What are you guys worried about? George, Condi and crew got our back. He’s falling right into GW’s ingenious snare that none of us could comprehend even if it was explained to us. Plus W’s going to wipe out Iran’s nuclear facilities before his term is over. What’s to worry?(sarcasm off-before I wet my pants laughing...)

Looks more like a T-38 or the related Tigershark than an F-18. Painting them up in the style of the Blue Angels isn’t all that persuasive...

Iran shows off might in military parade

Perhaps their propagandists don't realize that a nation compelled to display their military might with English subtitles doesn't look too mighty when it does so.

"A day before flying to New York to speak directly to the American people, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad struck a confrontational tone."

The little pipsqueak may be able to capitalize on the largess of the American people, and come to the UN at NYC and speak to the UN, and he may even be able to capitalize on the stupidity of the naive elite at Columbia University, and speak to them, but he ain't speak'n to me.

They’re Northrop F-5 derivatives. The only thing in common with an F-18 is the ability of flight.

About as threatening as a flying 2x4...
