From the loony regime that just figured how to shoot a monkey into space: Iran now claims it has its own homemade, radar-beating stealth fighter jet.

But aviation and defense experts say the tiny one-seater looks like a toy and might not even be able to fly � calling it a �laughable fake.�

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled the Qaher F313 at a Tehran hangar last week and called it �one of the most advanced� aircraft in the world.

But the experts said it was too small for a human pilot � and the controls and wiring looked too simple for a real jet.

Ahmadinejad boasted it had �almost all the positive features� of the world�s most sophisticated jets. But among the features that seem to be missing are bolts and rivets � found on the simplest planes.

�It looks like the Iranians dumped some rudimentary flight controls and an ejection seat into a shell molded in what they thought were stealthy angles,� reporter John Reed wrote in the journal Foreign Policy.

�It looks like it might make a noise and vibrate if you put 20 cents in,� joked Andrew Davies of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. �I can see (almost) how North Korea gets away with transparent nonsense due to isolation, but Iran has a population that�s much more switched on and connected, at least in the cities.
