Reporter explaining in video :"Our domestic Kowsar is a 4th generation fighter jet . Kowsar is using our older models experiences like Simorq Azarakhsh Sa'eghe 1 and Sa'eghe 2 "

there is no talk about future of Sa'eghe

If it's 4th generation then what about the radar still using the older F-5 radar

Kowsar

100% made in Iran ( entire aircraft )

actually its 88% made in Iran

 

[Sineva]

doubt that , the engine is two big and too powerful for RQ-170

The general consensus was that the engine was likely either the GE TF34 or the Garrett-TFE731.Unfortunately since neither iran nor the us released any hard data on the max tow of the machine or its performance or powerplant,most of it is guess work sadly.

earlier the guy in the news said : "jangandeye kamelan boomi" which means :"100% homemade fighter "

Thank God next year we are going to see Azarakhsh 3 or Sa'eghe 3 and that time for real its going to be "boomiii"

Guys is the radar still the same as old F-5?

I don't know about F-5 radar but it seems everything in Kowsar upgraded . (engine still same Iranian made J-85 ) .

Once again another huge over hyped disappointment from the airforce,why oh why am I not surprised.
If only they had done these upgrades/improvements to a worthwhile machine like the f14 as part of the long aborted modernisation program,rather than something like the f5 with little further upgrade potential,short of some radical reengineering that is,and even more insultingly trying to palm it off as a "new" machine.What on earth is this seeming ongoing fixation with the f5 ffs?.
Whats the bet that like all the other programs of this type it will remain just a one off machine.The airforce really needs to get its sh!t together and the government needs to start spending some very serious cash on a full modernisation program for both it and the rest of the conventional forces,not cheap propaganda exercises like this that fool no-one .....well maybe they fool rouhani,hes a big enough fool to believe anything.

change the title, they didn't say the 4th gen fighter (and it's not), they said 4th gen avionics.

7.5 million dollar cost saving, it means if wanted to purchase it's components from outside.
