It was released by the national media and published on YouTube a video revealing the F-313 Qaher, a single-seater stealth fighter developed by Iran. The Qaher, which can be translated as 'conqueror' or 'omnipotent', would seem substantially a mock-up of the homonymous combat car presented in the 2013 and developed by the Iran Aviation Industries Organization (IAIO).
The 'Conqueror' had already been the subject of ridicule during his presentation of the 2 February 2013 - on the occasion of the 34 anniversary of the Iranian Islamic Revolution - being labeled as 'mere propaganda effort' by analysts around the world due to its characteristics blatantly wrong avionics. Among the main errors were poorly positioned air intakes, a cockpit equipped with a canopy in Perspex of dimensions unsuitable to actually accommodate a pilot, and last, but not least important: the probable lack of a system control fly-by-wire.
The new F-313 - fifth-generation fighter with vaunted capabilities stealth - would show a series of modifications such as the twin-engine configuration, a reinforced chassis of greater tonnage, and an openable cockpit able to truly accommodate a pilot.
According to most analysts who viewed the video released by IRIBnews even this single-seater would show a wrong configuration that reveals laughable defects: insufficient sized and poorly positioned air intakes, a wing configuration too thick to allow the aircraft to reach high speeds and a nose that takes no account of the signature it would leave on the radar.
In addition to the obvious design flaws, the video would also highlight the lack of synchronous movement of the rudders: a sufficiently significant detail that alone is sufficient to validate the thesis that the 'Almighty Conqueror', the fruit of the best Iranian avionics technology, would not even be able to fly.
