You touched yourself that night.
>>29466052
WTF happened to that poor plane
>>29466052
Nothing. It's just a prototype jet built using cheap off the shelf parts. It's entirely in line with their manufacturing capabilities and if fielded in enough numbers, could cheaply defend their borders. Assuming it can fly, that is, which is a pretty big if.
As far as bitching about things like the dashboard being from a consumer turboprop or the seat looking cheap, it doesn't invalidate the aircraft's military utility.
>>29466059
That's the Qaher 313, a fake, hollow Iranian stealth fighter.
Independence Day looks like a fun watch
Just turn off your brain. I don't know why /k/ takes films so seriously

Why do they even try to play the game when every time they do this everyone in the world ends up laughing at how shit/clearly fake their new stuff is? Is it for purely internal propaganda purposes?
>>29466066
>military utility
You mean in terms of propaganda for internal consumption to protect the IRIAF?
They're trying to impress the people inside their country, not those outside.
On a side note; beginning a Qaher 313 mini-dump

Delivering a 2000 lb bomb while evading radar.
>>29466052
By the look of things, hiring artists to design the plane instead of engineers.
Dat high tech cockpit
Someone played too much Ace Combat and watched too many Iranian moving pictures.
>>29466111
still better than lobbyists and politicians

Absolute plywood, fibreglass, and parts from whatever crashed within their borders.
Turns out the circle only protects the plane from leaving it
>>29466052
it's not real
that said, Iran should buy some Super Turcanos
>>29466066
>prototype jet
If by prototype you mean half scale model.
>>29466052
That's not how wings work.
>>29466052
Would that shape of wings even work?
>>29466193
Why would you say something like that? Why are you so mean?
>>29466130
Sad truth is sad.
Though weren't the politicians against it?

Everything.

>Nothing.
Those are some mighty implications.
>It's just a prototype jet built using cheap off the shelf parts.
It's also fucking tiny.
>It's entirely in line with their manufacturing capabilities and if fielded in enough numbers, could cheaply defend their borders.
That hinges on them finding enough midgets to train as pilots. You'd have your knees in your face trying to fit in that cockpit.
>Assuming it can fly, that is, which is a pretty big if.
Well the extension cord wouldn't reach very far, no.
>As far as bitching about things like the dashboard being from a consumer turboprop or the seat looking cheap, it doesn't invalidate the aircraft's military utility.
No, but it strongly suggests that it's a mockup made for propaganda purposes.
What was it now, a USB flightstick, an iPad? It was a bunch of common consumer electronics arranged to look like an interface/control panel.
Also you have to be a fucking hobbit to fit in there.
>>29466109
I'm pretty sure that's more mass than the entire plane itself.
What are they gonna do, have two planes carrying the 2000lbs bomb on a string?
Is it blushing? Because that is what I keep seeing.
>>29466073
>Hollywood is capable of making more realistic and capable props than actual Iranian Government Officials
would this be better?
>>29466113
I remember seing an image where someone broke this pic down and identified all of the modules as commercial GPS units, head units, and shit like that.
Anyone have it?
>>29466113
Haha even I can tell its fake. What the fuck is that garmin doing up there lol.
>>29466052
>cockpit is literally off the shelf cessna parts
I wonder.
wonder how cheap you could get building a military jet & weaponry with off the shelf parts
>>29467671

It's is fake but we all must agree that if you'd put a large screen in front of it, this would be the perfect set up to play DCS.
>>29466052
it doesn't even look like it would be ABLE to fly if it was real.
>>29467848
At least those are also space fighters built by reverse engineering ayy lmao tech. Whoever in Iran thought "releasing these pictures will show them we're not to be fucked with" ought to get a nice public shaming.
>>29467858
I've seen better DCS setups
>>29466113
What is that black and orange part in the seat? An emergency castration kit?
Also a bit funny to see all that English text on the aircraft. Did those come with the pieces that crashed inside their borders?
>>29466473
yes it works but the little chodewings on the front are because the main wings aren't positioned correctly and fucks up the centre of lift
>>29467992
I'm pretty sure that's the ejector seat handle.
>>29466052
Here's a model of it's intimidating bomb capacity
>>29467992
>Also a bit funny to see all that English text on the aircraft.
English is the international language of aviation. how else did you think that airline pilots from more than one hundred countries communicate with ATC?
>>29468047
You can't be serious
>>29468088
>how else did you think that airline pilots from more than one hundred countries communicate with ATC?
they use mobile app. duh.
>>29466113
>Bilal, how make cockpit?
>Just take 10 car radios of various sizes and a big chair
>>29468208
Well, there was not enough space for bomb under the hull. There was no space for weapons bay in the hull neither. So this was the only logical choice.
>>29466113
Okay, so it looks like the pilot's legs go up into the nose of the plane. So where is the radar?
>inb4 mounted behind the pilot seat
Also ejection seat warnings when it's clearly not an ejection seat.
>>29468088
Why on Earth are you bringing up airline pilots when the discussion is about an alleged military fighter?? Did you really think that they would commute to Washington in this thing?
Sure, indubitably do the Iranian leadership wish for this to visit Washington but landing is not what they had in mind. Also were it to be grounded they would not really care much for the health and safety of foreigners approaching this thing.
Also since all indications are that this is barely a mock up of an idea of a hypothesis any signs of danger is utterly misplaced unless they consider the risk of laughing themselves to death.
Really anon, did you think this through?
>>29468047
So..you have to do an aileron roll to drop bombs? Is it stable enough to do that?
>Firing missiles has a 50% chance of ripping off one of the forward wings
>>29466052
Nothing went wrong.
It was never meant to be a real fighter or even a mockup of one. It's a propaganda piece meant to convince the lowest common denominator in Iran that their military is just as advanced as the US'. Iran as a bunch of these things that they only trot around for parades and photo ops while they stick with their old American, Russian, and reverse-engineered copies of the aforementioned two's tech for actual military use.
Pic related. The Iranian government wants you to think this thing has stealth capabilities.
>>29466113

Is this the 1940s?
>>29467713
this one?

>XCOM: The Movie
I wont even care if it's not as good as the first.
>>29468047
It's like Iranians got their hands on a copy of Ace Combat 3 and thought they could make their own wacky planes.
>>29466073
That was one of my absolute biggest guilty pleasure movies when I was a kid. I watched my VHS copy so much, I wore it out. I've been waiting for this sequel since I was 11. I don't even care if it's good enough, I'm still going to see it.
