They can’t even manufacture replacement parts for their old F-14 fleet.

“We have finished the design of stealth aircraft which cannot to be detected even by advanced radar systems, and the primary stages of its manufacture have started,”

Rumor has it looking like the Clear Glass Plane that Wonder Woman used to fly. What a joke the asswipes are.

Never underestimate the power of a former White House to leak secrets. We are talking about clintons here. I’m sure they (Iran)have the information. The infrastructure is a bit more complicated but it is being worked on.

Let me guess...

The horse was nearsighted, woke up suddenly, and thought he was still at the stud farm.

Either that, or that’s a picture of the new Ford Preakness.

The Iranians are regressing to belief in Magic Carpets.

“Pinky, what do you think you’re doing?”

“Why Brain, I’m building a stealth aircraft!”

“Pinky, is that bubble gum and balsa wood? That thing will never fly.”

“Brain, don’t be so negative. Think positive. I do.”

“Pinky, the power of positive thinking doesn’t extend to suspending the laws of gravity.”

Too bad we no longer have an Administration with the ‘nads to smack down these Iranian a$$holes as they so richly deserve.

They’re making a bad knockoff of a 1960’s era F-5 fighter. Not stealthy. Looks like crap even in the picture. Must be really bad up close.

Yeah - anyone can design a stealth aircraft.

Lets see...

Smooth contours, no discontinuities to act as concentrators/radiators for radar energy. Check.

RAM coating. Check.

Advanced cockpit screening to prevent radar return from pilot's helmet. Check.

Baffled/screened engine intakes to prevent radar return from turbine blades. Check.

Baffled/screened engine exhaust with high-bypass to reduce IR signature. Check.

Internal weapons bay to prevent radar return from weapons load. Check.

Ok, I've just completed my preliminary design for a stealth aircraft. Guess I just caught up to the Iranians in the arms race...

“the power of positive thinking doesn’t extend to suspending the laws of gravity.” by “liberals”, peaceniks, all the leftists and Dhims in the world. Or the reality of the Islamofascist war against Western civilization, America and Israel, etc.
