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

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."

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

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

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.
