Guess they figure their enemies wouldn't see it from the ground. :rolleyes:

Iranian still flying F4s! But they have begun to order commercial airliners from Airbus and I think Boeing too. I'm sure old Putin will sell 'em some Migs.

I would think the Iranians would just swamp out an opponents air force with lots and lots of ultralights. Way cheaper and probably effective.
 

If you want to see something hilarious, check out this submarine.

Hilarious, indeed. Per Wikipedia, the name of that class of submarine is real:
On 24 November 2007 Iranian rear-admiral Habibollah Sayyari announced: "A home-made destroyer called Jamaran and a home-made submarine of Ghadir class will launch operation on November 28." [1] He also said that the submarine was equipped with the latest military and technological equipment and that its capabilities are equal to that of foreign types.

The video would be even better with English subtitles, I'm sure.

Granted, I didn't watch the entire 8+ minutes of the video, but where's the hilarity? What am I missing?

That sub is a freakin' joke! They equip it with instrumentation off of old 70's and 80's fishing boats, and it barely submerged. I wouldn't feel too threatened by it.

So this is how they're spending Obama's 400 million dollar GIFT.

Indeed, with that kind of money I hear they're building a few air assult fleet, just found a leaked photo of their new air supremacy fighter.

Only people under threat of that "sub" are the poor bastards they got to submerge inside of it.

It's really hard to take that seriously. It's a mini sub with a 4 man crew. I would love some subtitles to know what they were saying. It was probably something like, "with this technologically superior war machine, we shall defeat the Zionist American Navy, should they choose to navigate the waters given to us by Allah."

Their duty stations are built out of plywood with random off the shelf switches and dials. I saw enough rust on the sides that I bet it couldn't hit anything more then a wooden dock or sink. Plus they look to be diesel electric boats that can't submerge far. I wonder if their batteries can hold enough charge or if there are even batteries in the thing.
 
From the looks of the canopy on that fearsome fighter, it looks to be a an IFR fighter only! Hopefully they get compliments on their instruments.

Are we sure the inside view is not just a stage prop and the outside view isn't some stock footage?

I could be wrong, but it looks to me like one of the masts is a snorkel head. As it is likely that the batteries are by their 'sell by' date, the sub won't be able to submerge beyond the depth of the snorkel mast.

I am sure our sub fleet is quaking in their boots - from laughter! -Skip
