  1. So stealthy that this paper tiger doesn’t even exist.
    I’m sure an old Avro Arrow could knock that paper mache’ mock up out of the sky.
    Maybe they should rename it as the “Vanquished 313”.

  2. On first impression, one would think it’s a Soviet fighter cruising the Urals, like in a still from Doctor Strangelove. This phony pictorial attempt by the Ahmadinejad military to impress and intimidate the opposition (ie. almost everybody) is not having the desired effect to cause us to “learn to stop worrying and love Iran”. It’s unfortunate they don’t have better press, because this unsavory situation is certainly NOT the fault of the majority of Iran’s citizens; yet they are the ones who will suffer in the event of an incursion by Israeli forces.

  3. On the picture of the “fighter” on display, the construction of fabric over stringers was plain, as was the excessive thickness of one wing. These photos are unconvincing even to a non-expert such as myself, let alone to a real expert. It is curious why the Iranian government does this sort of thing. It doesn’t say, “we have modern aircraft”, but rather the opposite: “we DON’T have modern aircraft”. It actually reduces apprehension about Iran’s capabilities, and hence reduces their “clout” internationally. Possibly they are playing to their own less-educated citizens; I would doubt that the technically educated Iranian would be any more impressed by this nonsense than we are.
    BTW “Mohammed” is not nearly so common a name among Iranians as it is among Arabs. Probably something about being conquered and subjugated 1200 years ago, something like that.

  4. What a world we live in when a peace loving Nation such as Iran has to photoshop a Stealth fighter to save itself from Zionist aggression!
    There,trolls, saved ya the trouble.
    I wonder how the Iranian peaceful nuclear weapons program is going.

  5. very smart of them to use the US fighter designation numbers F-313 so we know its battle ready not just an experimental X-313 type. and to keep the numbers left to right , ingenious.

  6. Laugh all you want, but we’re clearly losing the arms race of hilariously fake jet fighters. What we need is a crash program led by our top MS Paint engineers and scientists.

  7. You just gotta know, there was some fur faced sumbitch, wearing a tea-towel for a hat, thought this would be a real smart idea, then got Dinner-jacket to approve of it.
    The Iranian mullahs have got to be the single largest collection of retarded arseholes, just edging out the Democratic congressional body.

  8. Slackers.
    Why just a few years past these same artists were pumping out photos of + a dozen missiles taking off and set to rain down upon the infidels.

  9. “Possibly they are playing to their own less-educated citizens; I would doubt that the technically educated Iranian would be any more impressed by this nonsense than we are.”
    You can bet the educated in Iran know a lot more about the tricks their government is up to than we give them credit for. But alas, Obama is actively supporting and protecting their oppressors so they must remain silent. It is my opinion that the 3 carrier groups that recently left the gulf were there not to contain Iran but protect it from an Israeli attack. Now that the US election is over they are no longer needed, so they have come home to be dismantled and/or hammered into ploughshares, or shares in GM perhaps? The Iranians are most certainly playing to their choir with these photos.

    The Obama Regime does the same, and Americans are obviously just as gullible.

    Funny you should say that. Towards the end of WW2, the USAAF was testing the XP80….later the P80/F80 Lockheed Shooring Star at a California airfield….operational stuff on one side and the “skunk works” on the other.
    As a security effort, to discredit the inevitable sightings by other pilots…the test pilots wore gorilla suits with the crash helmet, oxygen/radio mask built into the head piece.
    Richard Bong, the P38 ace died in a crash testing the XP80…the emergency people recovered him wearing a gorilla suit.
    The simple ploy worked…nobody reported/talked about encounters with the trials aircraft.

  12. Consider that German balistic missle technology of 1943 was probably superior to that of today’s North Korea and Iran.

  13. OMG the indignity! An ace and test pilot found dead in a gorilla suit!
    Poor Bong – I had never heard that story about him before!

  14. Also too, the control surface motion is very large for a high speed aircraft cruising at altitude.
    The WWII Germans were real enemies. With the Iranians we are all wearing gorilla suits.

  15. The gorilla-suited pilot story is pretty much 100% urban legend. The story was originally attributed to Jack Woollams who did it to shut up P-38 pilots, but there are other legends that say he did it to allow base psychologists to convince other pilots they didn’t actually see a jet aircraft.

  16. To my eye, there’s too much camber in that wing for it to be attached to a fighter. Among other things…

  17. Great idea. Just love the blue tones at the back of the plane. Funny that they were also there when they displayed the plane.
