Qaher F313: Iran unveils home-made 'stealth' fighter

[LongBlade]

I can't believe the shoddy sheet metal work around the cockpit where the canopy connects to fuselage.

Are we sure it's even metal? I figured it was a crappy plastic mold.

look at how the interior wall is done.

Makes sense.

Perhaps next they'll make some stealth shoes!

Cairo (CNN) -- During a historic trip to Egypt, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was greeted by a group of men who hurled shoes at him -- a major insult in the Muslim world.

A video posted by the Anadolu news agency shows a smiling Ahmadinejad shaking hands with a crowd of supporters in Cairo late Tuesday when at least one man threw a shoe toward him. Other men also threw shoes at Ahmadinejad, the Egyptian public prosecutor's office said.

"You killed our brothers!" one of the assailants shouted, according to Anadolu. The agency said the man's shoe struck a security guard.

does anyone else find it odd that the stencils are all in english?

and the build quality looks like a prop

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Even the most basic fibreglass fishing boat would have smooth lines. That thing is crap.

really badly done, these guys need to hire some good model makers

[GDS_Starfury]

good!  then the embargo is working at some level.

[Longdan]

No!  How can we bomb them if the embargo is working?  It can't be working.  Bombing is better.
Anyway is all this show and tell for domestic consumption like the Norks?  It is not like they are fooling people.
Are they like some people we know who will believe it just because they want it to be true?
It is my opinion that most people who live south of.... say 50N are crazy but they know some basic things
about technology like cars and airplanes in a basic sense.  You can figure the Norks because they do not
get around much but these folks have cell fones and  CD's and computers.  They believe all kinds of crazy
sh*t and think emotional decorum is for dead people but I can't see the government really thinking
anybody buys this stuff as presented.  There are quite a few well educated Iranians and they aren't all
driving cabs in the US.

[GDS_Starfury]

but the well educated ones dont seem to be running the government.

[Longdan]

Yeah I know but they are going to a lot of trouble to look stupid.

[GDS_Starfury]

stupid to whom?
the whole thing was for internal pr not international recognition.

[Longdan]

There is some kind of disconnect somewhere.  I guess some people just believe in their own delusion.

At least it's got a radio/cassette player installed.
