It changes because whole industry is required to advance and take part in such project,10-15 yrs all Chinese air force was based on Mig-19/21/23 derivates + some imported SU-27,their only BVR missile was R-27 while Iran had 30 yrs experience with ARH phoenix,SARH AIM-7...R-27...now look where China is ...they produced MIG 19/21 knock offs till 10-15 yearsThat's your personal opinion, but my personal opinion is that it's wrong to compare 3 Kowsar fighters with 200 Su35s.
I could've agreed with you if they had delivered 30 Kowsar jet fighters. Even if we knew for a fact that they had upgraded all of our existing F5's to a new platform, I would've understood why this is news worthy. But I can't see how the delivery of 3 Kowsar fighters after a year, that even the IRIAF admits it is based on F5, changes anything for us.
At this pace, it will take 10 years to deliver 30 Kowsar fighters. Imagine flying jet fighters looking like F5 in 2030. :|
