The Qaher-313 (Persian: قاهر-۳۱۳; also Ghaher-313, Conqueror-313, Q-313, F-313) is a of an Iranian single-seat stealth fighter aircraft publically announced on February 1, 2013.[1] It was presented to the press by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on 2 February 2013, as part of the Ten-Day Dawn ceremonies.[2][3][4][5] A prototype version has been test-flown at some point before that.[6]
The F-313 Qaher was designed and is indigenously produced in Iran.[7] The aircraft is said to be a stealth fighter with low-level operations capability.[8] Qaher is built with "advanced materials" and had a very low radar signature.[9] Qaher can take off and land on short runways and it has "easy maintenance".[10]
Status of development
Media sources outside of Iran have raised the possibility that the aircraft does not meet stated performance and/or may be a scale prototype,[3] with BBC News noting that the aircraft "looks like a cheap copy of the American F-22".[9] Iran does not release technical details on its arsenals, so many of its claims about the aircraft are impossible to verify.[4]
Hoax
Media sources in Israel have raised the possibility that the aircraft presentation and accompanying film are hoaxes.[11] It must be noted that Iran has been victim of hoaxes by the West in the past, so it is hard to know where the truth stands.[12]

השאלה הרצינית היחידה שמעלה הצגת המטוס, שכמעט בוודאות מעולם לא הופיע על שולחן השרטוט של מהנדס אווירונאוטי, אבל ללא ספק דרש אלפי שעות הפקה של אנשי התעמולה של המשטר, הוא על מי האיראנים מנסים לעבוד? [The only serious question raised by the display of the plane, that almost certainly never appeared on the drawing board of an aeronautical engineer, but certainly demanded thousands of production hours of the regime's propaganda, is who are the Iranians trying to delude?]
