well that is sad . but you know whats even sadder ? to desperately make fun of other's hard work simply because you can't keep up with them .
there is no comparison needed . comparing iran to others in ME is nothing but a hilarious notion . in what aspect ? Science ? culture ? power ? stability ?
so yeah , we can tolerate criticism coming from anyone . but we cannot tolerate being mocked , especially by people who cannot produce the same cardboard fighter with kenwood sound system .
Hard work?
No other ME nation is making cardboard fighters... because no other ME nation is currently the odd pariah making claims of cardboard fighters that supposedly flew. Other nations dont make cardboard fighters, they make those that fly or actually do something.
Iran is the joke of the aviation R&D world because of that cardboard stunt. Sad how from the days of where it was the leader in the aerospace industry in the region to today where its industry is being a mockery by its own rulers for propaganda purposes.
