Iranian Stealth Fighter "Qaher 313" (for midgets)
On Feb. 1, 2013, Iran unveiled its indigenous fighter jet named “Qaher 313″. Full article here |
If you were going to build a mock-up for the world to see you would think they would make a little more effort than that!
Will it fly, well if dropped onto that trampoline... |
Wouldn't it be embarrasing if they had their B model up and running before Dave?
It's a rather simplistic peice of propoganda drama. I think we should at least pretend to be very scared. Even scaled up, that could only be an old Viper (as in JP engine) with those intakes. I'd also love to see the flight control software to make that fly. |
I think they'e knocked this up from bits of all those US Stealth UAVs they've captured.
Harmless fun. |

You have to wonder who this is aimed at. It looks very amateur.
|
It' needn't be 'for midgets' I think, as it's bigger than a Gnat- and TWO folk could fit in one of those.
Mind you, the Gnat had been designed! |
The flying footage looks like a scale model.
|
Ah I forget - what is the Russian phrase for 'fire backwards'? ;)
|
They have watched too much of the Great Satan't TV, I guess.
|
Suicide piloted bomb for the Revolutionary Guards?
|
Why have English warnings stuck on the thing?
It does look very small. |

Surely - if it was for real - it would not have an ejection seat!!

Not too dissimilar from this:

Sheeesh. And I bet you guys thought this was a mock up for a movie? You never heard of cover stories like for Argo?........ :hmm:

This new fighter does seem to be way ahead of Western aircraft.
The canopy doesn't seem to have any visible locks, and seals purely by butting up against the body. The multi function displays must be very advanced too as they don't need any form of combing above them, and yet will still be visible in the Strong Iranian sunshine. |
That looks a bit 'Qaher' dont you think?..
Yes it looks a little 'Qaher' - sounds a bit like a 'Qaher' too - It's probably a 'Qaher'. Yes -I shall put it down as a probable 'Qaher' [IMG]http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...psb5c3cc47.jpg[/IMG] |
Have a hi-res of the cockpit. Looks like a car stereo in the middle there! And does that instrument in the top left mean you aren't allowed over 260 knots? (Non flying SLF here) :}

The close up pic of the cockpit also appears to show that its made of fibreglass.
