Iran's Science - Real or Fake?
Let's just say the Iranians have been caught fudging their weapons tests to the public before. Their recent announcement of a stealth fighter has been met with extraordinary criticism that the vehicle is a mere mockup and completely incapable of actual flight. One comment indicated it looked like, "Iranian designers went back through the catalog of cool combat aircraft, picked out some of the coolest bits, and just stuck them all together to make a new airplane with a badass look about it." Even before that, the Iranians were hyping up their space launch with a monkey aboard that is increasingly in doubt as well. Upon it's "return", the Iranians apparently displayed a different monkey than the one photographed for the launch, which they now claim was a photo mixup. Uh huh.
