Holy cow. This alleged fighter jet had better have some damned fine radar and exterior camera technology working for it. Because no pilot would ever survive a dogfight or land the thing looking through that canopy.

Powder..patch..ball FIRE!

Looks like one of those knock off second’s windshields body shops used to install on wrecks.

It’s a fiberglass mock-up. A faux-fighter.

Looks like fiberglass lay-up (see where the light is shining on the side), rather than radar evading material...lol.

“...no pilot would ever survive a dogfight or land the thing looking through that canopy. “

Very astute observation!

I think it might be made of sugar. Cake Boss technology.

Is it normal for a fighter pilot to fly with his knees up against his chest? The cockpit looks more cramped than usual for a fighter plane.

The canopy apparently has some new high tech glass that does not allow light to go through without distortion.

Plus if you look at the wrinkles in body of the plane, the Iranians have also apparently discovered some new aerodynamic properties that utilize the wrinkles.

The body also appears to be made out of a stealthy radar evading material similar to plywood.

The canopy is distorted and looks like cheap greenhouse window quality plexiglass. It sits so high and is not consistent with the square edge design of the fuselage and would obviously fly off if the plane even approached take off speed, much less the speed of sound.

If this is the quality of their aircraft technology then we need not worry too much about their nuclear technology. They will blow themselves up before they will be able to use their weapons against anyone else.
