The Secret To Iranian Drone Technology? Just Add Photoshop
garymortimer writes "Earlier this month, Iran's news agency provided visual evidence that its government had figured out to make a fancy new drone that could take off and land vertically. What they didn't tell us is that they used Photoshop to make it stop taking off from the roof of Japan's Chiba University, which built the aircraft and never had anything to do with Iran's alleged version of it."
Could have been shopped by the Chinese for them.
Nonsense, that photo isn't doctored. I heard that in building their new drone, Iran licensed the same technology that China used to build levitating engineers.
Pics or it didn't happen! Oh wait...
in soviet russia they did stuff like that by hand
The USSR bluffed up its military by having dramatic parades of missile launchers (where the parade was just long enough that it could circle around 4 times to impress the spies in the crowd).
Iran bluffs up it military with photoshop.
North Korea skips the whole idea of bluffing up the military, but the Dear Leader is an excellent dancer.
China bluffs down their military, because some of them actually read "The Art of War." (makes sense, their ancestors wrote it)
The USA bluffs up, down and sideways its military without any effort by telling various press and blog factions "I am unable to confirm or deny that claim."
Japan just builds the giant robots "for peaceful purposes only."

Yeah, the Top Gun ones were funny! The level of gullability of some people is incredible.
But my favourites are the NASA moon landing ones! To all intensive purposes, that's never been bettered.
