Amazing Iranian Technology…
Not a Northrop F-5
…is Amazing.
Yeah, no. From the folks who brought us this UAV-
And this Stealth Fighter-
Now has the amazing capability to detect the presence of coronavirus at long range. No, really.
Poetrooper sends.
Hucksters have sold and re-sold fake devices with collapsible radio antennas for years now claiming they can spot everything from bombs to HIV/AIDS.
Iran’s Military Makes Batshit Claim That This Stupid Contraption Detects Coronavirus
BY JOSEPH TREVITHICKAPRIL 16, 2020
Iran claims that it has developed a “smart detector” that can confirm the presence of the virus at distances of almost 330 feet in seconds without the need to draw blood or even interact with a potentially sick individual. Unfortunately for the country, which has been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, the miracle medical device is clearly a fake that shares key features with infamous fake bomb detectors. This is just another example of the regime in Tehran making bizarrely farcical assertions about its technological, as well as military, achievements that border on outright comedy.
Major General Hossein Salami, head of Iran’s powerful Islamic Republican Guard Corps (IRGC), unveiled the supposed COVID-19 detector during a televised presentation in Tehran on Apr. 15, 2020. The “inventor” of the device, who is a member of the Basij, a paramilitary militia under the IRGC that often leads the violent suppression of internal dissent, was also present to demonstrate how it “works.” This individual also demonstrated the system at a hospital in Tehran, an event that was filmed as an obvious propaganda stunt.
“This is an amazing scientific technique that has been tested across various hospitals,” Salami said, claiming that the detector had demonstrated its ability to accurately detect the presence of COVID-19 around 80 percent of the time. “The technology could set the basis for the detection of all kinds of viruses.”
Those wacky Iranians and their Mad Mullahs, always good for a laff. Read the rest here: The Drive
Thanks, Poe.

“…a circular dish antenna not connected to anything…” Bwaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Looks like 1/2 of a set of cymbals. Guess if you had two of these detectors you could give the “antennas” to Barney Fife and he could join the Mayberry Marching Band. Bwaahahahahahahahahahaha
Dickheads!
I agree with KOB, I can see the cymbal strap with the guys hand through it showing me that this is a cymbal of their stupidity.
They will ride this farce wearing their hi hats until it crashes with a splash.
Dammit -beans, don’t encourage him.
May the farce be with them!!!
You’re not helping here, Ex.
*grin*
Salami, Salami, baloney!!
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
330 feet…about the lethal range of an AK-47. So, yeah, he may have had, possibly had, could have had the virus but, he’s dead now so problem solved. It works. Just listen for sneezes and coughs.
IRIAF = Iranian Republic Imaginary Air Force
I like the way they edit in popular Hollywood movie cuts into their military propaganda videos.
They really expected no one would notice.
Salami, huh? Is he – dare I say it? – as full of baloney as he seems to be? Does he offer chips with that thing?
Salami is full of Bologna of the Wurst Kind.I personally believe he’s just hot dogging it.
Wireman611 you making a Saturdays are for cooking post? In a scrapple or soused? Have you let your meat…loaf? Is that with Grey Poupon or Dijon Mustard? Rye, pumpernickle, whole wheat or just plain light bread? Does having the ability to make a sammich count as being able to cook? At least it’s not Vye eena sausages…on a sody cracker.
*facepalm*
How one knows when complete control of the post is long gone.
Kinda like the time I went to Tijuana and every corner you had guys selling pictures of you riding a “zebra”, but damned if they didn’t look like donkeys with stripes dyed on them. Huh.
But did you buy an iguana there?
Nope, no iguanas.
Just lots of beer and street tacos much like stick meat in the PI…they tasted good, but never ask what’s in them.
I think you went to the wrong donkey show, Sparky. Maybe not…
I admit nothing. Call my lawer.
I plead the 5th.
Looks about as real as a Civil War Issue polyester blanket!
Revolutionary War woobies. Now those are awesome if you can find them.
And these people want to play with nukes.
Bet if we sent some their way at 17,000 mph they might reconsider.
I wonder if All-Points Logistic will get the contract?
Pretty sure on what company will be supplying the software. Elaine Ricci will need a burka when she goes to Tehran to ink the deal.
Phildo will supply “The Perks”.
Sort of like “Gaydar” I guess. Useless for sure.
Oops, Sorry, Iran, but that virus detector you just “invented” has been in the US Government Inventory since 1963:
7710-00-226-9293 Cymbal, 18 inch, Concert Band
(Smile)
Don’t forget their special “spacesuit”

I wouldn’t be surprised if Iran uses Remote Viewing as part of their intelligence gathering operations.
Major Ed Dames is in charge of it. Speaking if ol’ Ed, I recall his remote viewed prediction of the World wide disaster of Y2K.
Be funny if it had the Dish Network label on it.
The big question is, will it be able to detect the snake oil-swamp root antiviral vaccine their population so desperately needs?
