I personally think that any country that can develop its own aircraft can also develop its own stealth aircraft or at least aircraft with reduced detectability. The basic principles of stealth are given, formulas and equations are known, prediction software is existing, what is there to be so undoable?

The question remains whether Tehran has enough expertise and money to design their own fighter. If yes, then it likely will have at least some stealth characteristics.

So very true.
They have buried this project in money. They have set a strategic goal, and as you say…..even if they get half way there it will produce a viable and real threat.
The scientists on the project are (Some of them) UK and US schooled/Uni’d.
Yes, the culture of the nation may be held back, but its arms race isn’t.

I’m also done. Nothing more to say really. Time to agree to disagree I think!

Indeed! cU in the other threads.
There’s a pint in the pump if we ever meet.

I reckon there’s only a couple of modern day “ACTORS” i’d pay to go and see and that’s Pacino and Deniro

Well, I don’t actually pay for anything but kids films these days. If we get a night off from the kids, we don’t go to the cinema.
TV or Library DVD’s for me. Or garbage downloads.

However, some modern actors are OK. Matt Damon for 1 eg. From Good Will Hunting to the Bourne trio. All very good fillums.

But I do prefer the old greats. Coz I am one LoL.
Also like the silents, especially Buster Keaton.

Well, I’m done.
My views are still in support of the death penalty(1), my entertainment factor is guilding it a bit though.

(1) For child killers and child rapists…for which there is absolutely no excuse.
And terrorists.

Barry i wouldn’t even cross the street to see it if i was paid to do so…that poor excuse for an actor Nancy boy Cruise put a dampener on it for me!!!

Well, he aint that bad. And apparently he does do a good part here. And he is summat of an expert on WW2 apparently.
And, I’d like his wimmin.

Some of the upstarts down-under call it “Invasion day”

Oh, hang on. The island was theirs before we were even white folk, in yerp.

It’s the same old story nothing stays the same…even Coca Cola doesn’t taste like it did when we were kids…bloody cans and plastic bottles….give me glass any day!!!

IIRC the Coca Cola recipe had to be changed because it was being mixed with Anadin tablets to make a recreational drug.

Hev yee been on the Newkie broon then lad

How long have been away?
Newcastle Brown Ale is now so fizzy it’s a joke. The taste has changed too. I’ve no idea what they’ve done to it, but it’s a far cry from the beautiful classic we used to love. I do believe they have ruined it for the sake of making more money.
