Iran's 'fake' fighter jet which experts say can't fly is spotted in the air

送信時刻：7 年前

Iran's freshly unveiled fighter jet has already been derided by aviation experts who likened the plane to a mock-up model and expressed serious doubts over whether it could actually fly. And a new picture of the domestically produced Qaher-313 apparently soaring over Iranian mountains has done little to curb scepticism, amid claims the plane never actually left the ground but was simply superimposed over the snow-capped peaks using Photoshop.

I love the canopy. It looks like it was made out of recycled water bottles.

Kind of like the Pope-mobile's canopy. Actually to me, it looked like the sneeze cover of a 1970s Vegas buffet.

Interesting that in the picture with the pilot the distortion of the background is profound, but not in the action picture. Also, what it flying that thing? A pair of disembodied headseat?

So riddle me this... Its an "Iranian aircraft" right? With tons of Arabic writing all over the walls and crap. Then why are the placards along side the cockpit and the "Remove before flight" tag written in English? My little nephew could do a better job of photoshoping this thing lmao. What morons.

They don't write or speak the Arabic language in Iran. Their language is Persian (Farsi).

My favorite part of this is how they said twice that "it's capable of flying at low altitudes." Duh, it's called taking off geniuses. The 1903 Wright Flyer was also capable of flying at low altitudes. I'm sure Israel is having a pretty good laugh at all this.

I think it's really the lighting on the top of the aircraft that gives it away as being 'shopped. It's the exact same pattern and intensity as the one in the hangar. That's not going to happen outside at altitude.

WRONG HEADLINE. With a photoshop you can make a beautiful girl out of some ugly beetch but no expert can turn a fake plane into a real one FLYING (LOL!!!), these retards didn't show a video clip so it can NOT be said that it was spotted in the air as this wrong headline is claiming.

Saddam Hussein was able to trick Bush and his cohorts into believeing that he had all kinds of WMD when all evidence pointed to the contrary. But these Iranian fools did not get anywhere with this "cartoon".

"....trick Bush and his cohorts..."

Yes and those cohorts included a majority of the democrats in Congress who voted for the invasion of Iraq! At least Congress, the people's representatives, had a say in that unlike Obama and his war in Libya that has since backfired causing the unnecessary loss of American lives. But where did all those chemical WMDs come from that have now been discovered in Syria which are of great concern to the Israelis given the missile launch platforms being sent from Iran to terrorist groups in Lebanon, a convoy of which was recently the target for destruction by the Israeli Air Force? I doubt Assad and his thugs produced them. Intel from a former Saddam Hussein loyalist military officer revealed to CIA debriefers some time ago that in the days leading up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq when Congress was debating the issue, multiple heavy lift air cargo flights were made to Syria from Iraq loaded with such materials and more. WMDs are not exclusively nuclear. Saddam tricked no one nor is Iran with this fake stealth fighter or their coordinated effort (Russian, North Korean, Pakastani and Chinese assistance) to not only produce nuke WMDs but biological and chemical WMDs as well. Arrogantly thumbing our noses at this perilous danger is no laughing matter and should be taken dead serious lest we "wake up dead!"

Of course Iran can't make a good stealth fighter. And neither can the US for that matter (check out the F35 debacle...).

F-35 is a well preforming aircraft, but they still have several major issues to fix with the pilot support systems. So far the rest of the aspects of the aircraft has worked, in non-combat roles.

I wonder if the technology advances they developed for this will transfer to their nuclear program. Next we will see them tape a M80 to a model rocket and call it an ICBM.

I disagree with the posters who say it was photoshopped. I think it more likely that a free open source tool such as GIMP was used. At least they didn't claim the peak was Mt. Ararat, INMNSHO.

The "inflight" photo is an obvious depiction because one doesn't fly at cruise with flaps extended as shown in the fly photo. But that doesn't mean the actual aircraft is a fake. We bad mouthed the Russian Mig-15 until we met it in combat. We din't bad mouth it anymore after that!

Unfortunately the people this is meant to impress know nothing about aircraft only need to believe that a Muslim nation can build technology like the west. Any infidel who says different is a devil. Could prove to be the most lethal fighter ever built.

If they like their aircraft to be displayed using Photoshop, perhaps some talented folks could pair it with King Kong or a kite tail and string etc.

Don't rule out the possibility that this thing is a red herring designed to attract attention away from something else they're doing in secret. The West, and the U.S. in particular, loves to denigrate its foes as bumbling boobs who couldn't make toast if they were starving, but those same foes have too often surprised the West. The Iranians aren't stupid people. This isn't their first indigenous design and while I agree that the mockup and the faked photos mean this particular aircraft is not real, it doesn't mean they're not working on something else in secret. Will it be a world-class fifth-generation fighter? Unlikely, but that doesn't mean they're incapable of developing their own aircraft. Igoring that fact, as the West usually does, is a mistake.

Indeed, the Iranians have managed to keep quite a few of their prerevolution-era Phantoms and even a couple Tomcats airworthy - sans parts and support - for over 30 years.

To the obvious; every shadow and every reflective light from within the show room is exactly the same as the ones in flight. Which we all know is impossible to have happen.
