Iran shows off New Stealth Fighter "Qaher F313"
[quote]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.
He said the "development of the Iranian nation's military power is... for deterrence and defensive purposes".[/quote]
This is probably nothing compared to the capabilities of the West, Russia and China what do you suppose this craft has the strength of compared to other planes?? (What is it equal to)

Since the F-117 has a smaller radar reflection than "the pilot's helmet" I am wondering what a big bubble canopy does to cover the radar of that helmet. Also, take a look at the photo. Is it me, or does that canopy glass look like utter hell? There is no way that someone inside of that thing could reliably visually scan or ID other aircraft. Compare what is shown in the Iran release photo to [url=http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/4842/4842,1217694318,3/stock-photo-jet-fighter-canopy-silhouette-against-a-blue-cloudy-sky-15642670.jpg]this view through the canopy of (what I think is) an F-15[/url]. It has no artifact, no disruption, no ripples or imperfections where in the Iranian photo, you can't even clearly see the state emblem on the back wall of the hangar.
