What’s so bad about the just revealed Qaher-313? Well…
It doesn’t have an engine.
If it did, it would set the plane on fire.
It isn’t stealthy.
It can’t house a radar.
It can’t carry bombs.
It doesn’t have a heads-up-display.
The cockpit is too small.
You can’t see out of the cockpit.
And — oh, yes — it probably couldn’t fly even if you fixed all the other stuff.
Israeli Air Force pilots are quaking in their boots, I’m sure.
Have Ahma-dinner-jacket be its first test pilot.
It appears to be fashioned from papier mâché.
Never mind that bulls**t! Those b*****ds have space-monkeys!
We’re doomed, I tell you…
Space monkey? Sign of the times…
I’d like to see skeet-shooting Messiah pitted against that plane.
‘Mee skeet you lawng tayme!’
This is the aircraft equivalent of putting flame decals on car in order to make it go faster.
I guess they thought that their enemies wouldn’t notice the difference. After all what do Americans and Israelis know about fighter jets.
From someone with an airplane mechanics license, and an avionics installation tech, those radio’s are general aviation units, certainly not military, the landing gear is too light, the skin is certainly not metallic, or carbon fiber. Fiberglass, by the time you got enough thickness to be strong enough would weigh a ton. What’s with the down swept wingtips? If they are trying to mimic the Boeing “bird of prey” they missed, the bird of prey is a lifting body, the fuselage is the “wing”. That fuselage most certainly won’t be a “wing”.
One last thing, why in the name of God’s green earth is the “remove before flight” ribbon in english?
Check out the canopy lift. I think the lift on the back door of an SUV has more heft.
Also, check out the size of the cockpit itself with a human occupant:

This is the response from the Iranians to our observations:

Gentleman, this is comedy gold!.
(Photos from the Iranians themselves: http://www.mehrnews.com/en/newsdetail.aspx?NewsID=1806182. Love this one: http://www.mehrnews.com/mehr_media/image/2013/02/931739_orig.jpg )
The Jihad 2000 will be launched by a large catapult toward Israel.
It was the “Lego” logo that gave it away for me.
I think there was a mistake…This was supposed to be a release for domestic distribution only.
