It's Larger
And it's a 1.5 stage meaning the meaning the guidance system and warhead separate and the guidance system has a small engine WOW nice job Iran
Every Saudi Target SAM, Air field, Radar, Power Plant from Iran to Riyadh is gone!!! And in ma matter of minutes!!!!!!
And ain't nothing you can do about it!!! turning it into a 1.5 stage missile has increased accuracy and reduced RCS and we can volley them in numbers and it will be nonstop because these are missiles that Iran builds by turning simple rock, dirt and oil from it's own soil into missiles!!!!
Im just saying I don't think Iran will be able to roll out this thing as a REAL functioning/operational 5th gen fighter.
Does that aircraft look like a 5th gen fighter to you??? It's a sub sonic aircraft If anything Iran would have used it in the same manner the U.S. used the F-117....
And for people that don't know!!!
Fiberglass type S is stronger than Carbon Fiber what makes Carbine Fiber so special is it's stress level and weight which about 15% lighter but fiberglass type s is in terms of strength is stronger than strengthened steel and carbon fiber it just has a low stress level and if you can somehow solve that then your in business
Also you can build a low speed working prototype around it because at low speeds and low friction (heat) and low speed low stress you wont have a problems!!
Regardless as Iran's defense minister said that will not be the finale product of Iran was to accept it's production!!!
and for me unless Iran turns it into a large 2 engine fighter with BVR & IRIST capability then it's worthless in terms of Iran's needs!!! but that doesn't preclude that it's a fully functional design
And in terms of technology Iran has the technology to build the airframe (not the engine, radar...) but the airframe is fully within Iran's technical knowhow it's just going to require a lot of cash!!!
