Iran on Saturday
unveiled its newest combat jet, a domestically manufactured
fighter-bomber that military officials claim can evade radar.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
said in a ceremony broadcast on state TV that building the Qaher F-313,
or Dominant F-313, shows Iran's will to "conquer scientific peaks."
The Qaher is one of several
aircraft designs the Iranian military has rolled out since 2007. Tehran
has repeatedly claimed to have developed advanced military technologies
in recent years, but its claims cannot be independently verified because
the country does not release technical details of its arsenals.
