Iran unveils first domestic fighter jet

[El Sidd]

Are you really retired?

Yes. I have taken premature retirement citing ideological differences

Not interested in your trolling.

Not interested in your sectarianism

WTH its f-5 freedom fighter first flight was July 30, 1959

Spot on bro. They always make some different copies of f4s and other vintage American jets. Kind of how spiderman or superman costumes have evolved. Aamw things with different setups

@Serpentine is that an arrestor hook under the jet in one of the images?

it will take ages to catch up this way, better off trying to get some joint-production, tech transfer from Russia or China

Best Wishes to Iran.

Does any one know specs of this jet?

It is. But it's a feature that came with the F5. It's for emergency landings and is likely not carrier rated.

Not to mention that the airframe and landing gear can't take it anyway.

The landing gear can take it there is a gear test video in early post check it. Plus Iran said it is developing a carrier.

Well for sure we could say every single nut and bolt of it is made in Iran .. from engine to structure and avionic ... not bad if all Iran's f-5 get upgraded to this one.

A shit plane from1950’s revamped as iranian now. What an embarrassing situation for iran.

But hey, at least it’s not a toy plane like their stealth jet

Sure we don't have China to cooperate with or the US to buy from ... we are sanctioned.
