Iran has successfully tested a radar-evading aircraft, a commander informed on Sunday, in the country’s latest announcement of technological advances as it marks the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
The semi-official Fars News Agency, citing senior air force official Aziz Nasirzadeh, informed the prototype of a radar-evading aircraft named Swordfish had been test-flown.
“The prototype of this aircraft. Completed all radar evading characteristics considered by us,” he informed. “We are evaluating the data from the test flight and it will go into production after completing additional tests.”
Iran is embroiled in a dispute with the West over its nuclear program and often makes announcements of progress in its military capabilities, in an apparent attempt to show its readiness to respond to any military attack.
On Saturday, it officially started production of two new missiles, state media informed, three days after it launched a rocket which can carry a satellite.
During the Feb. 1-11 period, Iran marks the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution that toppled the U.S.-backed shah.

Avonline plc today announced a limited period offer on its standard Tooway home user Satellite Broadband service. Customers will now only need to pay just £175 to get the hardware installed, followed by 3 more quarterly payments of £175. The instalment offer is unique in the market and is aimed at helping more people afford satellite broadband by reducing the biggest barrier to wide-scale take-up – the large upfront hardware and install charge.
Avonline’s best selling product, with a market leading 3.6Mbps download and 384Kbps upload from about £1 per day, has attracted a significant number of new customers in the last three months. The main features include lower cost hardware and installation than previously available, together with Tooway’s plug and play connectivity, which make the service ideal for the consumer market. There are 4 packages available, all providing the same download and upload speeds but with varying levels of data usage. In addition, the Tooway service has the ability to deliver voice over satellite telephony services (VoIP) and now has the added value option of receiving Freesat High Definition digital television services from the same satellite dish.
Avonline’s satellite broadband installation consists of a small satellite dish and a modem connected to the PC via the Ethernet, giving customers immediate broadband access following a simple installation. Over 1 million customers already get their broadband via satellite technology.
