The US Navy mocked Iran for being 'experts' at building a target ship in an Instagram post that showed a bogus American aircraft carrier with a bullseye on it.
The Navy proclaimed in a meme, 'IRAN BUILDS TARGET SHIP', revealing an overhead view of the fake vessel sitting at a port, unprotected and vulnerable with a bullseye, and adds across the bottom of the image, 'THEY'RE EXPERTS AT THAT'.
The post comes after Iran built the replica of a Nimitz-class carrier and had its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard fire a missile at it in the strategic Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday amid tensions between Iran and Washington.

“Aviation experts say new Iranian stealth jet is a pathetic hoax that can’t even fly”
FLOP GUN: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iranian brass proudly unveil the Qaher F313 — which US aviation experts dismiss as an embarrassing joke that doesn’t even have bolts or rivets.

Wait. How much does it cost to build a fake Nimitz? Couldn’t you have a tank battlion for that amount? How many millions would it cost to build a freaking wooden Nimitz? LOLOL.
:)
Can’t wait to see how they fare against a realm one that fights back.
Our Navy was not laughing when the Iranian bass boats showed up and took American sailors, weapons and equipment with their cameras rolling.
And it's not like our Navy hasn't been crashing into things in the Pacific in recent years.

No But Obama was.
Touche!
Good point. What’s worse, I can’t say when it’s going to get better. I’m almost 80.
Wasn’t the Kenyan dipsh_t in charge when this happened? This would not have occurred had we had the current leadership in charge.
If you go to Bandar Abbas on Google maps, right behind their 1/2 scale Aircraft carrier, there is a sunken ship in the harbor.
Oops.
It does look pretty pathetic.
If Iran built a Prius?
Our military hasn’t been too concerned with what Trump wants or says so I am not so sure it could not happen again.
One website critiquing this Iranian “Stealth Fighter” noted the advertised “50 pst Tire Pressure” compared to various US fighters with pressures between 185 and 275psi, IIRC.
Another mentioned “No Rivets or Bolts to be seen”.
I figure that the Design & Construction team all got Medals and Commendations when this was delivered to the Regime. Then, after all the detailed critiques appeared in the Western Press, those poor saps were taken out and shot.
BTW, you had an excellent analysis of the pitiful amount of air that might pass though the engine air intake!
Not only all those things, but the foam-cor seams at all the surface plane transition joints are obvious after zooming in.
LOL!
The great guys at FliteTest.com could probably whip up a “Stealth Fighter” equal to or better than this Iranian Wonder.
