I disagree simulation with a tape measure is enough. However, a CAD based simulation might have been sufficient.

Separately, how has this been determined as a ‘mock-up’ in the first place?

I think Russia has leant Iran a trainer aircraft and that is what’s shown in the picture. Some OSINT people have postulated that it’s a “mock-up” which sounds sort of plausible but impractical given the nature of what we’re talking about here. Accurate dimensions along with other relevant data would be more than sufficient to build a base around without needing a physical “mockup” on the site. So this aircraft might be used for other purposes.

You’ve misunderstood my post Jauk. I was in favor of the notion that what were are seeing is indeed a real aircraft and not just some mock-up.

No I understood your post. Mine is asymptotically agreeing with it.

My apologies, I misread your post lol. My reading and comprehension has been getting worse lately, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Reading between the lines, it looks like there will be an unmanned version of the plane and a version with a pilot. that remains to be seen .....

Iran: an unmanned version of Qaher will soon be unveiled

Iran's Aviation Industries Organization (IAIO) has announced plans to unveil an unmanned version of the locally-built Qaher single-seat stealth fighter jet in the next Persian calendar year which begins on March 21.

Speaking on a television broadcast this Saturday, February 18, IAIO Director General Brigadier General Afshin Khajefard said the aircraft was manufactured at the IAIO and the project was mooted for the first time in the media 10 years ago.

“The Qaher project has reached full maturity in terms of technology, but we are producing more diversified products; This means that by the middle of next year you will see [new] versions of this aircraft including the unmanned version being delivered to the armed forces,” he said.
Khajefard also pointed out that Iran is self-sufficient in repairing commercial aircraft and manufacturing components in defiance of sanctions.

"We have reached a level of self-sufficiency in the engine field so that today we can produce 10 types of engines, most of which are used on drones and cruise missiles," he added. .

As for electric planes, Khajefard said the IAIO has started work on several prototypes that will be tested next year.

"Of course, our electric drones have reached full maturity, but electric planes need more improvements," he explained.

Referring to Iran's achievements in developing unmanned aerial vehicles, Khajefard said, “We have different classes of missiles, precision bombs, electronic warfare aircraft and reconnaissance drones. However, we are trying to develop drones with civilian applications, as drones can be used for agriculture, mapping and firefighting. »

It has no sense to put your best air superiority fighter under earth. They must be in harden shelters, with pilots sleeping inside for inmediate QRA scramble. It is so basic...

It can be even a diversionary mock up... IRIAF can be making any show off suggesting they will operate from that air base but in reality they would be deployed in a conventional air base with harden shelters.

Well it appears that the Su-35 wouldn't even be able to fit inside the tunnels, so sitting under the earth is an option off the table.

The article you shared is saying 20% of empty housing units are located in Tehran province, not the same thing.



Home ownership stood at 60,5% in Iran in 2017, 55,3% in Austria in 2020, 51,1% in Germany in 2019, 41,6% in Switzerland in 2019, 58,8% in Turkey in 2019, 56,8% in south Korea in 2015, 28% in the UAE in 2017.

Also what you seemed to suggest (that no engineer can ever afford a home anywhere in Tehran) would imply vacancy rates closer to 90% or so.

Ownership rate has diminished as of late, true, but what I'm saying is that Iranians are still better off in this regard than some of the world's wealthiest countries. Now you're free to assume no one's doing worse than Iran if you prefer to dismiss the mentioned facts.

I knew one thing if it was not for my mother help after 9 year of practicing medicine I could not buy a 65m apartment which was 25 years old and if I waited another year even with her help I could not buy it.

Prices are a lot cheaper in Iran.

Kabab steak is $2-5 in Iran
lower quality Kabob is $20-50 in Canada.

The average income in Iran is 200 to 300 dollar. What is it in canada

(Reposting with added translation)
Ghaher to be revealed as UCAV ‘middle of next year’. Systems are complete. Currently customizing to meet the requirements of two branches of the armed forces:

Better translation instead systems are complete is Qaher project technology is matured now.

According to the Iranian Statistics Center, the average salary in Iran in 2022 is 18,970,900 rials per month ($455).

It is reported that the Eagle 44 base is still in the process of construction and additional tunnels that may be capable of holding the SU-35 may be forthcoming.

If you mean 18million toman be assured that's a big fat lie unless it's family salary. And they calculated both man and woman income..
Since 5 month ago I'm a specialist and my income is not that much

Here's another useful information: nor could your colleagues in some of the major European capitals afford any better. In Paris for instance, a neighborhood of equivalent standard to Sa'adat Abad would be the 6th district. Average price of property in the 6th district: 15.000 Euros per square meter (and up to 24.550 Euros in the upper ranges). Thus a 100 year old, 65 sqm flat costs on average 975.000 Euros. Average gross income of a general practitioner in France: around 10.000 Euros per month, which should yield a net income of some 6000 to 7000 Euros. Or 84.000 Euros per year, 756.000 Euros in 9 years. Let's say the income's 40% higher than average in the capital. Still unaffordable on that basis.

I appreciate the economic situation in Iran is quite terrible and probably does not lend itself well to comparisons with developed European countries. That said, it is worth noting that the average age of a first time property buyer in London is now almost 40 years old (meaning having to work for c. 20 years before being able to purchase). By comparison, 9 years does not seem so bad at all (although you will probably say that you are far more fortunate than the average Iranian and 9 years is no longer achievable for even the upper quartile of Iranians).

The problem is not the price of the property, I'm pointing to the more serious problem and that's devaluation of national currency
