It's a fiberglass mock-up. No way can that thing fly. No seal or locking system for the canopy. Reminds me of a computer flight simulator cockpit someone has made up, and then the Iranians added the rest of the stuff to make it look like a real aircraft. Which it'snot. And it looks like the "pilot" is having a hard time getting into the seat. It'll fly when pigs fly.

The Mig-21 and L-39 we launch on the weekends are real stealth fighters compared to this thing.

I notice that it completely lacks any form of HUD as well of course maybe they did like the movie "Foxbat" and if you think in Farsi is fires a backwards missile.I would agree it appears to be made mostly of fiberglass and the canopy looks pathetically weak.

The MiG-21 and a L-39 are also actual real flyable aircraft unlike the F-313.

What is sad is that people are actually believing this.The real Iranian Air Force is still using aircraft that where first constructed in the 1970's those F-4s and F-5 are from pre 1979 with the restraints against them the fact that they are still flying is a bit shocking.I am sure that is mostly from Jerry rigging that they manage.

I'd be more scared if they made us watch them play Slender.

Considering it as fibreglass mock up , it still sloppy job.
