Iran Unveils Its Own Stealth Fighter Jet, the Qaher F-313

Posted by timothy on Monday February 4, 2013 @02:01AM from the not-a-drone-so-20th-century dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Iran has unveiled a new home-made combat aircraft, which officials say can evade radar. The single-seat Qaher F313 (Dominant F313) is the latest design produced by Iran's military since it launched the Azarakhsh (Lightning), in 2007. President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad said it had 'almost all the positive features' of the world's most sophisticated jets.Footage from state TV showed the jet in flight, but not its take-off or landing."

It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?

  Exactly! It's a *stealth* plane. You aren't meant to see stealth anything. Clearly created in a studio.

So stealthy, that I bet no other country will ever be able to detect one in flight ;-)

  Pretty sure other prototypes don't have that 8 track player in the bottom middle of their console though.

Well, those were not among the features that this aircraft has in common with its Western counterparts.

That is the last time I lend my gaming gear to Abdas! I wonder why he wanted to borrow my duct tape as well.
That is duck tape used to assemble canards.
