Iran tests home-made stealth fighter

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Doubters probbly still doubt iran can send a Rocket in Space for space research and for growth of their civilization

Stealth is probbly easy for Persians since they have alot of engineers of high calibre some even graduate from USA as well so its very easy for Iran to be expert in stealth

It just needs mind and soul to dedicate to a goal

any specifications released?

any specifications released?

Not yet and do not expect them for any time soon as this project is going to be secret .

Moreover i am highly disappointed by the behavior of some people towards Iran and this project.

Now i have seen how some people are making this Forum a " Troll pod or a Chat room ".

It is said a breakthrough in celulose technology is the secret behind the new planes unique stealth capability.

This airplane is a model drone built on a one-seventh scale for the defense ministry

Would you stop your baseless BS ??

One way to engage in intelligence warfare and propaganda against your enemies is to narrow down the flow of information to the perfectly arranged image that you wish to convey to your enemies. The Soviet Union may have been the best practitioner of that approach. In more open societies such as Iran, where such constraints are impractical/undesirable, you might as well do the opposite. That is to flood the other side with so much plausible and quasi-realistic and occasionally verified info that it'll be hard for them to separate wheat from chaff and tell fact from fiction. And with that as your mode of operation, I would say that Iran has done an utterly spectacular job it. If you stop and think about it for a minute, with so much coverage, so many pictures and films coming out of Iran about every facet their operations, and the combined might of Western intelligence services intently focused on Iran, it is amazing that Iran still manages to leave them in the dark as to their true intentions and capabilities, and consistently beat and surprise them at the information game.

Having said that, it has been my experience that when Iranian military officials have made a claim (on the record and verified), adjusting for delays, shortcomings and project uncertainties, they have by and large come true.

Iran tests home-made stealth fighter​

TEHRAN, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- An Iranian air force commander said Sunday that Iran has successfully tested the prototype of its first domestically-built stealth fighter, the English-language satellite Press TV reported.

"The plane, due to its physical attributes and the material used in its body, cannot be detected by any radar," Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, the force's coordination deputy, was quoted as saying.

Nasirzadeh said data from the test flight was favorable and the air force will move forward with its plans to produce the plane called Sofreh Mahi, which means Manta Ray, the report said.

However, he said that the production process will not be rushed as such complex systems need thorough analysis and exhaustive testing.

According to Press TV, Iran on Wednesday successfully test- fired a satellite rocket and unveiled three new satellites and a satellite carrier to mark the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.

Sure...General...

This is a project to make a stealth UCAV. The name translates to Manta ray in english and is designed like a flying wing similar to the x-45 (and a manta ray fish). In June, they successfully tested a 1/7th sized model and today they tested its shape against radars. No one has claimed that they have finished the design and that it is going into production.

You guys can be jealous all you want, but you will see when this is finished.

Sure...General...

I love your new meter

Sure...General...

A good example of what I was referring to above... Leave them with their thumbs up their rear orifice...

Make that advanced 'composite cellulose' technology. One can only wonder at the adhesive used between layers.

its not that we're making fun of Iran its that they are so full of BS im sure they have phasers and the starship enterprise in production too.

Despite sanctions and international pressure, if Iran can manage to design something that has even very basic radar evading technology, hats off to them. However, since there is no way to confirm what this aircraft is, all cheering and jeering is simply based on personal preference, so let's cut it and discuss this scientifically.

Now, technically speaking, it seems a little far fetched that Iran could manage to incorporate passive stealth technology into any aerial platform. This claim looks more along the lines of the "Iranian F/A-18" that was proclaimed a few years ago. If you looked behind the paint-job and modifications, it was essentially an F-5. However, on the other end of the spectrum, Iran has managed to surprise many nations with the continued development of its missile technology. At one point, they couldn't threaten Israel, now then can reach it with relative ease (which was serious enough to prompt concerns over Israel's missile defence). Therefore, with the Iranians, you never know what you'll get.

That said, I'm highly skeptical of this news. Time will tell if my skepticism is justified or not.

How are they full of ****? They announce a lot of projects, a lot of them get produced and some don't. It's the same in most countries, some projects run out of funding, and some succeed. Is America full of **** for announcing the OICW rifle project, the Commanche and many other projects that never reached mass-production? China is such a closed society that you don't hear about these projects to begin with, so the canceled ones are never known about.

The Seaqeh was never intended to be a fighter plane and they never claimed that it is as capable as an F-18. The Saeqeh is a test bed for technologies that will be used for our fighter plane project. Only one of the seaqehs was actually made from scratch, the other 4 were old F-5s with modifications. The paint scheme is an indicator of this. They are testing things like fly by wire and avionics. A general may have said it is a new fighter Jet, and it may have been picked up by news agencies, after all to a layman who doesn't know what an F-5 is, it does look like a new plane.

Some projects, like the Saeqeh are exaggerated, but if you actually examine the claims and the end products, a lot of them actually get produced.

You can tell this project will succeed. They have said from the start that it will take a long time to build, they have never claimed that it is entering mass production, and the general today said that this UAV will go through a lot of tests and if it meets the requirements it will go into mass production.

Would you stop your baseless BS ??

Can i ask why the pics you linked are of a Vityaz?

If that is the new "Iranian" stealth plane it is neither new or Iranian.

The Vityaz is said to have a rcs greater than the f 117 due to the designers " not wanting to give up aerodynamics as the f 117 had "

If this is the plane of the current subject then to say it is undetectable would be the BS not me.
