Seriously, we're supposed to believe this thing is real? Iran yesterday revealed its most recent indigenous fighter jet the Qaher 313″. The prototype Q-313 was presented to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as a ceremonial gift during the country's Ten-Day Dawn celebration. The festivities commemorate the 1979 revolution when the U.S. embassy in Tehran taken by force. In the previous days, the Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi had said, The aircraft will be different from the other fighter jets Iran has already made. Indeed, based on the first photographs released by the FARS News Agency, the new stealthy jet has a peculiar design. It features hard edges and those distinctive edges and angle of the U.S. F-22 and the twin tail shape much similar to that of the F-35 Lightning II. The Aviationist » Iran unveils new indigenous stealth fighter ?Qaher 313?. And here?s a detailed analysis.
Somehow, it reminds me of the fictional "flying wing" in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". At least that design seemed to have a fair chance of actually being flyable.
Reminds me of the Libyan car "designed" by the "brilliant" Colonel Gaddafi Image Unavailable, Please Login
If Gaddafi was so brilliant, why did he only promote himself to Colonel? Most others in his position would have gone all the way up to Generalissimo!
The flying part of the video seems like it might be fake. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJHoQG3FM7Y]?ran new stealth jet : Qaher 313 - YouTube[/ame]
Pure Iranian propaganda crap.This thing doesn't fly, because it's just a junk 1:1 model. And even if such a thing did fly, it's about as stealthy as a F-4 Phantom. The skin of this plane looks like crap amongst other things. Looks like a scale model airplane of the thing. At least the Sukhoi T-50 had actual taxi, takeoff, flying and landing footage. This is some sort of joke that I'm sure, even the Russians are laughing. The entire secret of evading radar by Iranian standards, is to stay inside the hangar.

Forgive my ignorance but did they actually state this WAS the plane and not just a mockup? Because when I saw the mockup for the F-35 years ago in person it was actually worse than this and had cracks all over it. Looked like it was built by highschool students.
Looks like the Boeing "Bird of Prey" demonstrator except that they could not figure out how to make it fly with out canards and tail find LOL Boeing Bird of Prey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Notice that the "plane" didn't show any movement when the " pilot" boarded. Also no load on the gear or tires and where the hell did they get that wing section?
Looks like a 3/4 scale fibreglass mock-up, nothing more. The 5' tall (probably) pilot looks huge. Ahmadinejad is only 5-2 to 5-3 himself (like Napoleon).
well the Iranian people seem to be eating this up "Qaher-313" Iranian Stealth Fighter Aircraft Unveiled - Iran Military Forum It's funny..if our gov't us water is wet, we'd call them liars. If their gov't says that unicorns are real, they'll believe it.
I know one thing this plane does well that none of ours does: pick up SiriusXM. Check out that righteous AM/FM player at the top of the instrument panel.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
This is exactly what I thought. It looks like a prop, or something someone built in their garage. Way to go Iran, amazing piece of **** you built there. Mark
The part that's fake is Ahmadinejad being that tall. Secret "behind the scenes" film just revealed: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xAXEE9KaK0[/ame]
I just looked for the second time of the cockpit and the "game forest" "instruments" and then the "solid structure" of the edges of the fuselage. Look at the ripples in the whatever they used to make the fuselage where the canopy closes. There is nothing with which to latch the canopy either.. What a gag.
think this was written by the same press agent. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OwFeYlY9GU]Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad - YouTube[/ame]
