Previously unveiled in 2013, the Qaher F-313 has not made an appearance since. During the 2013 ceremony, the plane was just unveiled and did not move under its own power at any point. The original version was also deemed too small to fit a human pilot in the cockpit, with an engine section that could potentially melt that plane&#8217;s back end, <a href=\"http:\/\/warisboring.com\/irans-weird-fake-stealth-fighter-can-actually-move\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: http:\/\/warisboring.com\/irans-weird-fake-stealth-fighter-can-actually-move\/\">according to War is Boring<\/a>.<br\/><br\/> While the new upgrade appears more realistic, the engine intake and wings are smaller than normal and the wings feature a strange, downward bend at the wingtips. Additionally, military analyst Galen Wright noted that the plane was marked with a tire pressure well-below the standard for fighter jets.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on U.S. Department of Defense tire pressure stats for F-4 and F-15 fighters, the jet&#8217;s tires at 50 pounds per square inch are far too low for a plane of that size. The plane, of comparable size to the F-4, would have to be no more than one-fifth its weight per unit of volume, <a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/iran-qaher-f313-stealth-fighter-jet-fake-tire-psi\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/iran-qaher-f313-stealth-fighter-jet-fake-tire-psi\">according to Vice\u2019s Motherboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke at the event, praising the plane while hinting criticism at Western countries that have worked to prevent Iran\u2019s militarization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We don&#8217;t ask for permission from others to reinforce our armed forces, don&#8217;t ask for permission to manufacture our missiles, our jets,&#8221; Rouhani said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran also unveiled its latest domestically produced jet trainer \u2014 the Kowsar \u2014 at the ceremony, in addition to a tactical UAV, an anti-ship cruise missile and an air-to-air missile.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran shows off its new stealth fighter, but previous observers of the jet believe it&#8217;s nothing
