The Iranian Air Force seemed doomed after the US severed ties with Tehran in the 1980s and left the country with an air fleet of aging F-5s and F-14 Tomcats.
Nevertheless, to the world’s bewilderment, in 2013, Iran abruptly announced the introduction of the country’s first indigenous aircraft, and it was no ordinary fighter. It was the Qaher-313 or the Conqueror, a fifth-generation stealth fighter.
The Qaher’s shape was reminiscent of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, featuring an aerodynamic design to enhance its maneuverability and body panels covered in advanced coatings to provide a low radar signature.
The aircraft also featured two internal compartments and the capacity to carry ordnance of over 2,000 pounds.
Although little information was ever released about the Qaher, for years, Iran reassured time and time again that the Conqueror would fly in the upcoming years. Still, Western analysts have expressed concerns regarding Tehran’s technological capacity to fully develop a functional fifth-generation stealth fighter…

Nice plywood plane
Anything and everything countries like Iran makes is utter and complete GARBAGE.
Mate there is a old say
Assumption is the mother of all f()k up
Assuming nothing expect everything
Iran knows to well the west watches everything that come out there who is not to say their much more further ahead then the west gives them credit for there is no evidence to say they are not
And never but I to what the so call experts say
Ah another paper mache weapon.
Without bragging, but a fifth gen fighter would tax Britain France or Germany, all countries with long aeronautical and engineering histories. How does Iran develop one with no history or experience unless it's a) BS or b) fronting for another country to get experience in secret.
All crap
Of course it has a small radar return. It flies under the radar because it's towed by a camel.
It's a most stealth aircraft in the world coz no radar in the world have ever detected this aircraft till date.😊
Arabs always hype everything that amount to nothing.
Mr. Bucktooth Carter the peanut farmer is responsible for the Iranian revolution by sending the throw back Muslim to Iran. Everything the democrats touch turns bad.
Nice wooden model. The Slavic's , the Asians , the Iranians never invented a damn thing on their own. They stole everything from the West. They are not stupid just lazy. Easier to steal than to create your own.
Interesting
it looks like a toy plane
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ridicule, not criticism, is what this kite received!
I believe EVERYTHING that the Aiyatollah says
Maybe its just the first test bed . people said the cant make anything but the have copied the most advanced drone of US
I love that they put a radio-cassette player in the middle of the cockpit.
* Reading the tile *
I think that's the whole point having a stealth fighter
North Korea, ruzzia, Iran all have one thing in common
BS 🐮💩
I'm looking at that aircraft, and having worked on several. Think that it may very well be that this example is, quite likely, fraudulent. That said, I trained with Iranians, when I went into the air force. The fact that they still have f-14s that are still flyable because they are making the parts that they're putting into them, is a testament to their Ingenuity and the fact that under estimating them would be a huge mistake. The F-14 was known in the flight Community as a plane that if you could keep 50% of them flying at any given time on an aircraft carrier you were doing really really good. They required an inordinate amount of Maintenance and some of the systems were very difficult to adjust and to get proper. I worked on a number of them. Two of the best aircraft that Iran purchased from the United States were the F5 which was known to be one of the most reliable plants at the US Air Force ever used. And the F4, which started out its existence as the f110 when Robert McNamara and decided to change his designation. It did take a little bit of work to keep the F-word flight, but it was far easier to keep flying then was the F-14 the only reason they had some of rf4 zazz because we were having trouble providing them the early model F-14 which was the worst one that we ever built.
Looks like some shit l could make in my garage
Having actually made stuff for stealth….that aint it
Literally looks like made of plywood covered in fiberglass
@ 1:30
Whats sitting at that desk sums up this entire video perfectly…. Lies, lies and more lies. And never accomushed anything.
Iran and Russia are evil states.
The reason why nobody see this stealth fighter is because the aircraft go from point A to point B by driving on the road. 😀
