The Secret to Iranian Drone Technology? Just Add Photoshop


www.theatlanticwire.com
Earlier this month, Iran's news agency provided visual evidence that its government had figured out to make a fancy new drone that could take off and land vertically. What they didn't tell us is that they used Photoshop to make it stop taking off from the roof of Japan's Chiba University, which built the aircraft and never had anything to do with Iran's alleged version of it.

I was honestly expecting the Iranians had managed to produce a working drone (something the military could fret over.)

Apparently, not so.

... Here's actual visual evidence of the two images — the Iranian image is on the left, the Chiba University 2008 image is on the right — with the same building and everything... except for those windmill things:




The article goes on to list some other cases where the evidence was found to be less than 'wanting'

This isn't the first time Iran has been caught manipulating reality: Just last month their state news agency was caught passing off a scene from the disaster-thriller The Day After Tomorrow as a real scene of Hurricane Sandy's aftermath, and in 2008 the Iranian government released some doctored photos of a successful rocket launch. According to the Mehr news agency, the drone — whatever it does, or whether it even looks like the thing above — is scheduled to be unveiled for real in the coming weeks...

This is the real drone.

Notice the advanced remote.

Meanwhile you're the one bringing up a war

Umm, is that frowned upon here? What is your point? I was simply making a point. Are you insinuating that I am warmongering?

I am not familiar with this case and the photos I saw were not from Iran.

Is there a better source for that photo as being presented by Iran as a photo of the drone?
Thanks in advance.
