Iran's Stealth fighter

So, so much wrong here.

Does Iran REALLY think they're fooling anyone with their shenanigans? Space monkey? Stealth fighter? C'mon...

i imagine the chic's in our airforce are looking forward to an epic dogfight with that piece of engineering

Why would they show accurate pics of their fighter? We don't actually believe this thing is real do we?

im sure its real plywood

I don't see it.

Pretty sure that's the hull of a canoe...

... which some people may recognize as the Whig Party rallying cry for the Harrison presidential campaign of 1840:

"Hull of A Canoe, and Tyler Too!"

That's the decal that came with the kit.

when you have a press conference for a new plane, don't you usually show it flying?

I've been out of the fighter jet business for a while, but from memory of my F-16 days...most fly by wire jets have a joystick on the side with a single hand control not like the old center mechanical sticks between the legs...

The good news is that it comes with Sirius XM.

You noticed that, too, eh?

I liked the decals and random monitors on the IP, too. I think I see a bitchin' Blaupunkt stero there, too.

One more cockpit question, well two, isn't the aces II ejection seat dated and it's too far forward in the cockpit, you couldn't reach all the switches that run behind the pilot...

I was just a low level mechanized infantry grunt, but the few times we were able to see a F-22 (even fresh of the plant in Lockheed- Marietta), the cockpit controls were all covered up, no pictures allowed. Normally - the real military at least want to make you work for your espionage, not just post it on the internet.

Hell once when I was in the Nat. Guard a F-117 crashed in North Georgia and we were all sent to guard little pieces of just the plane all over the area... It was like, holy **** this must be important, there giving us real bullets!

the bottom pic looks like a ejection simulator that Krak and I saw at the aviation museum we went to...

“It looks like it might make a noise and vibrate if you put 20 cents in,” joked Andrew Davies of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. “I can see (almost) how North Korea gets away with transparent nonsense due to isolation, but Iran has a population that’s much more switched on and connected, at least in the cities.

I love how if you hover over the photo, it's captioned as "FLOP GUN".

I knew I had seen something that looked a lot like that plane somewhere before.



Looks like they took the plane from "Firefox" and gave it a little bit of an update.

Are you saying the Russians are part of this too?
