Iran Reveals New Aircraft...

[Delirium]

"Now the reports of our new aircraft being supersonic, able to carry twice the load of a B52, able to carry nuclear weapons, and complete immune to radar are all true. In fact, I would say that these rumors have been minimizing their overall capability."

I would like to know what a navy person thought about the chances of a Cessna making it to a boat w/o being detected. I would think there'd be no chance.

Without elaborating, there certainly is the capability which would assure a 0% chance; however and unfortuantly there is a human factor that could allow 100% chance.

I agree that any vehicle can be dangerous, I just don't think it registers on the threat meter like some other aircraft or missiles.

Do you remember the 19 year old that flew a Cessna from Hamburg to Moscow and landed in Red Square?

Agreed.

Although Im pretty sure the sea wiz would laugh at it too.

I'd like one for hooning around our coastlines and lakes.

The most deadly thing to do is underestimate something based on looks alone. That thing in the hands of suicidal crazy person is extremely deadly. Strap a bomb or a nuclear device to it, kamikaze it in to a fleet and that would be all she wrote.  
Maybe thats what they want us to do. Lets all laugh it up and point our fingers shaking our heads. While we're doing that, Theyre laughing at us for not taking it serious. There is a reason it dont look like much.

I speak perfect English.. She sells sea shells down by the sea shore.. Peter piper picked a pack.. ummm

US Naval vessels with the Phalanx 20mm gatlin gun would turn that thing into shreads if it went near them.

The Iranian Army also employs mo-peds and 100cc motorcycles as "military vehicles".

the went to Germany's army surplus store for those V-1's

If it's got some sort of stealth tech, and can deliver a weapon that could harm a Navy vessel then I'd be worried. Obviously not much of a fighter threat, and the article only mentions machine guys so it's probably not very useful for anything but recon.

With the advent and advancement of drone and missle/antimissle technology I think the fighter aircraft and to a certain extent manned strike aircraft are headed the way of the dodo bird or the chariot. With both being all but extinct in our lifetimes cept maybe for some third world countries. I can easily foresee a time when manned combat jet aircraft simply arent needed anymore but for nostalgic reasons and to a large extent havng a human in an aircraft more a hindrance then an asset.

Its approaching the point where its simply not going to be practical to put a man in a combat jet

i thought they built it using sheet metal, elmer's glue, and JP-7?
