February 2, 2013 is the article date and the leader there on the left has long been replaced too. Not sure whats up with all that.

It's kinda funny actually: https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/whatever-happened-irans-qaher-f-313-stealth-fighter-27277

There is a new plane coming out that is doing the rounds on the news which might have confused the OP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HESA_Kowsar

Maybe this one actually flies.

I'm just wondering how they were able to cobble it together indigenously. I don't recall Iran being a big player in aircraft design and manufacturing.

Just gonna point out, the underside of that craft looks identical to the hull of most late 90's ski boats. Considering that the legitimacy of the craft is being called into question even by the article itself, it really wouldn't surprise me to find out it actually was the hull of a ski boat.

Also, I can't be the only person that thinks the top view looks a bit like a plucked chicken.
