The Iranians were better off converting this oil tanker into a floating launch platform for their ballistic anti ship missiles. They should have stuffed the hull with VLS tubes, containing a mix of long range hypersonic ballistic missiles and their longest range air defence missiles, and installed some of their air defence radars on the superstructure. Much more effective than trying to have an aircraft carrier. I can't see any self defence capability on this thing, it'll be a sitting duck in any shooting contest.

By the way, could it be possible that this drone was spotted a year and a half before in a Air Base (Masshad? R13 airstrip) in a test?. I remember a picture that was sentenced to be fake and the size of that Qaher was so similar to this one.

This carrier will operate with the escort of Shahid Soleimani ships

The main problem is the subsonic speed of these missiles and they should be supersonic and hypersonic.

Higher quantity can be achieved with VLS if they decide to go with more VLS model ships.

Today, this drone was shown to the leader of Iran by the air force at the exhibition.
It's seems Qaher project is finished and the product is made.

Well well well.

This would be one for the books.

Imagine if say, a 120% Qaher, is unveiled.

From this angle I cannot determine whether the intakes have been moved or changed to address pervious air-flow concerns.

Plus, look at the tell-tale shape of the hatches on top of the fuselage. Similar to those on current LO designs.

If this is really 'it', then a lot of initial criticisms' are going to go the way of the Dodo- bird pronto.

Thanks for posting.

it's my guess, but that model shown is something more than a drone, I suspect it will be piloted.
Perhaps the definitive version of the Q-313.

The two air intakes on the back of the aircraft suggest the use of engines with afterburners
