Iran's Newest Warplane Something from GI Joe?

There's not any place for the fookin' wheels to fold up into the fuselage! You gotta be kiddin' me.

Er ... does Iran actually have an aircraft industry ?

It is not expected to make a landing, the jetison off after takeoff...

But yet the Iranians have the most ubiquitous source of airplane main gear to cannabalize for pseudo-realistic bullshite airframes... the F-5/T-38. There is no excuse! They can't even pull off their own 1970s technology in a convincing fashion. I feel for the Iranian people trapped within the confines of these terroristic effers.

Well, technically speaking it might very well have stealth capability, however I think it's more due to the fact it would never get off of the ground.

Yep, it's the local Tehran Circuit City, their install shop is full of these things...

[NOTE: for our friends overseas, local stereo stores (Circuit City, Best Buy, etc.) install car alarms, car stereos and various bolt-on accessories. Usually the install is a real hack job and often requires professional attention to "fix" what was installed]

 

[Airframes]

Ah, I see. I thought they'd packed it in when the last Magic Carpet failed it's Flight Testing Programme ......

 

[Njaco]

I thought Circuit City went out of business? Or was it a deceptive ploy to just re-locate to Iran?

 

[Gnomey]

My favorite is the car stereo at the top of the console in cockpit.

Yeah that is easily the best part!



Can't wait to see the 'test' flight, perhaps the second monkey from the spaceflight will be in charge...

They now have photoshopped a pic of it in flight.

[meatloaf109]

Wow! It flies!
I guess we all owe Abdurrimjob, (or whatever his name is) an appology.
Love how the reflection of the lights on the platform are still reflecting off the tail.

 

[tyrodtom]

Same flap setting too. Looks like one of the landing gear doors is still open underneath also.
But at least they remembered to photoshop the inlet covers away.

If they'd published it in 'The Sun' (opposite Page Three!!) maybe I'd believe it, as well all know that if it's in 'the papers' it must be true ......
Got more chance of seeing an airborne Hippocroccofrog, what a load of b*ll*cks!!!

 

[Gnomey]

That's even better than the original! Not even a blind man should fall for that.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Heck I though Karl had done that!

 

[CharlesBronson]

They are always mixing up half-facts with lies and some truth, is almost impossible to know when they are saying or showing something meanful, most of that advanced armament seems a enormous (and not entirely well displayed) propaganda effort.
