From the loony regime that just figured how to shoot a
monkey into space: Iran now claims it has its own homemade,
radar-beating stealth fighter jet.
But aviation and defense experts say the tiny one-seater
looks like a toy and might not even be able to fly — calling
it a “laughable fake.”
But the experts said it was too small for a human pilot —
and the controls and wiring looked too simple for a real jet.
But among the features that seem to be missing are bolts and
rivets — found on the simplest planes.
“It looks like the Iranians dumped some rudimentary flight
controls and an ejection seat into a shell molded in what
they thought were stealthy angles,” reporter John Reed wrote
in the journal Foreign Policy.
“It looks like it might make a noise and vibrate if you put
20 cents in,” joked Andrew Davies of the Australian
Strategic Policy Institute. “I can see (almost) how North
Korea gets away with transparent nonsense due to isolation,
but Iran has a population that’s much more switched on and
connected, at least in the cities.
