We intellectually superior Persians discovered stealth aircraft centuries before you stupid decadent Christians had even thought of it

Is this like their “stealth boats” from a few years back?

It does fly, it is just so stealthy that no one can see it flying.

Kinda looks like fiberglass.
With a few of those "mat & resin" boat repair kits and the contents of my "dead computer junk" closet I bet I could make one too.

This reminded me of something I read where the Iranian ATC challenged a Marine Jet for violating their air space and said they were going to send their Jets to attack him and he replied go ahead I’ll wait.

That canopy looks like it was hammered out of a piece of clear acrylic with a ball peen hammer over a rock.

Curious that the stencils are in English.

Is it SOP in Iran to label things in English? The 313 is carrying English labels in the photograph. No Farsi?

Interesting that all the warnings and labels are in English? I thought they hated everything about us?
Subcontractors from the US? Works or not, treason, in one word.

I don't know. I find Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s claim that they have built a new state of the art stealth fighter as believable as American President Broncho Bamma’s claim to “do skeets shooting all the time”.

C’mon! It would be hilarious if the international body went with the hoax, pretending it could fly stealthily.
Then turn it into an Aerial Paint Ball Target. Think what fun our flyboys (sorry, aviation pilots) would enjoy that.

Anyone ever seen a photo if this so-called “stealth fughter” actually flying. Better yet, flying next to a real airplane?

It does fly, it is just so stealthy that no one can see it flying. It evades radar by never leaving the hangar.

Why don’t they build a better transport than the American Boeing 747-SP Achmadinijad flies around in?

Reminds me of the BBC James May Toy Stories where in one show they made full size model of a Spitfire just like it came out of a Lindberg model kit.

One can’t help but notice that the ejection seat is
somewhat short too, sure wouldn’t want to have to
ride that through the canopy.
You know it’s tough when the “President” of the
country has to take part in a hoax of this stature.

It’s fiberglass, you can tell by the flow lines along the surface. No way that thing could even be a prototype, it looks similar to a clay mockup the design team constructed like we do for cars.
