We don't need RD35 for M-ATF

we need an cheap turbofan engine with 30-35 KN dry thrust for a two engined M-ATF ( 2 *30 KN = 60 KN dry engine) if we make two small turbofan engine with 30-35 KN dry thrust , that will be enough for a light fighter like M-ATF ....

we need some new and reliable fighter to replace them with old F-5 , F-7 - Mirage F-1 .... M_ATF is enough to improve our country security !!!

for sure we can't beat USA/Russia/Nato/China in quantity but we can secure our country air zone with proper fighter and M_ATF is enough for us , It will be a light and cheap fighter !!!

Wouldn't it be good to somehow get AVIC-I Shenyang Aero-engine Design & Research Institute improved engine WP-14II (Kunlun-2, WP-14B) which passed the tests and comes in upgraded variant of 8II J-(J-8IIH, maybe others) and J-7, the information is from 2008. Maximum thrust WP-14II is 8400 kp.

WP-14C Kunlun-3 an improved Engine over WP-14 Kunlun which has 75kN with afterburn [for the time being] OR a much better option of Chinese WS-12B Taishan [92kN-100kN] but is heavier ofcourse IF Iran would be looking to design-develop a capable F-18/Mig-29 Class Aircraft I don't see problem with Taishan Engine but heard its going to be in JH-7B therefore most likely not even undertable sales.

Best bet to negotiate under table for WP-14C Kulun-3 75kN

This just lacks the engine; soon in kish air show we will show new Iranian made turbofan engines.
one of which will for sure be used for this.

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan unveiled three new home-made technological achievements in Tehran on Wednesday.
The achievements include 1-MW national GPS system, robotic vacuum plasma coating and vacuum arc remelting furnace which have all been designed and built by Iranian researchers at Malek-e Ashtar University.

Elaborating on the new achievements, General Dehqan said that the 1-MW national GPS system is a reliable substitute for the GPS which can be used in critical conditions.

Also, the robotic vacuum plasma coating is one of the laboratorial equipment used in different research processes, turbines and jet engines that has the capability to resist high temperatures, he added.

General Dehqan also said that the vacuum arc remelting furnace can be used for melting and purification of titanium, remelting the super alloys and special steels and can be operated both manually and automatically.

In a relevant development in February, General Dehqan unveiled 4 products of the defense industry and inaugurated the production line of a key medicine that fights the effects of chemical elements.

The new achievements included 'Pars Kam' detector system that tracks chemical substances dangerous to health, a new system that can detect explosives and drugs, anti-strike and explosion-proof polymer coatings, a new generation of NBC protective clothes based on Travagzin membranes, as well as the production line of Obidoxime chloride medicine that fixes the effects of chemical substances on the body.

Speaking to reporters, Dehqan said the defense ministry will continue to design, invent and produce modern equipment and products for protection of its armed forces.

Also in February, the defense ministry had also unveiled 7 national geographic projects.

The projects included a remote defense lab - national spectral sensing, first unmanned smart hydrography Fajr 1 (Dawn 1), coastal development of Makran, production line of digital marine maps, digital geomorphology maps, magnetic marine measuring systems, climate database, and geographic data production line using drone images.

Minister Dehqan said, "The Fajr 1 hydrography is a remote control system, able to transmit data and image, GPS, measure depths, advance multibeam systems, and side scan sonar and radar data."

On the applications of digital maps of geomorphology system, he said they can be used in scientific and research projects, as well as in geography, environment, construction, development, agriculture, defense logistics, civil defense, and military affairs.
