Buying military equipment is never the right choice as they will all become obsolete or grounded in no time when a real war starts. We learned this the hard way during the war with Iraq.

not during the war iran iraq we were fortunate to have the F-14 that we are given the advantage and the F-4 ... if we had not the fighter we have lost the war to tell the truth .... yes it should not depend 100% of other pays..mais comander just what we need not make us dependent countries 100 150 su-30/35 will do much to defend the country and deter our enemy.


Stephen cohen: not iran can not buy su-30 as the embargo and not lifted and we can not wait too long either because we will biento an aviation ground



non pendant la guerre iran irak nous avons eu la chance d'avoir les F-14 qui nous on donné l'avantage, ainsi que les F-4...si on avais pas ces chasseur la on aurai perdu la guerre faut dire la verité....oui il faut pas dependre a 100% des autre pays..mais comander juste ce que nous avons besoin fait pas de nous un pays dependant 100 a 150 su-30/35 fera largement l'affaire pour defendre le pays et dissuader nos ennemie.


@Stephen Cohen :non l'iran pourra pas acheté des su-30 tant que l'embargo et pas levé et on pourra pas attendre trop longtemps non plus car on aura biento une aviation au sol

Great looking plane,congratz.
Even with the embargo,iran seems to do great achievements...

Iran's Defense Ministry has unveiled a new domestically-built advanced supersonic trainer fighter jet, named Saeqeh 2 (Thunderbolt 2).

The double-cockpit supersonic Saeqeh 2 fighter jet has been designed and manufactured by experts and engineers of Defense Ministry's Aerospace Industries Organization and in cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF), Iran's Deputy Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said on Monday.

The fighter jet will do close-range cover and backup tactical missions as well as advanced pilot training missions, he added.

The commander noted that the new jet is the second generation of Saeqeh model which has been manufactured with enhanced combat capabilities.

The aircraft has been equipped with Electro Avionics systems and advanced weapons to enhance the training of pilots.

Hatami added that the plane is capable of engaging in intense aerial missions.

The unveiling ceremony comes on the 8th day of the ten-day celebrations commemorating the 36th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Saeqeh was unveiled as a prototype in 2004 and later became operational in 2006. The jet is Iran’s second domestically-developed fighter with many calling it the Iranian F-18.

The bomber has the ability to track down enemy aircraft, engage in combat, target locations on the ground, and carry a load of assorted weapons and ammunition.

In the recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems.

The country has repeatedly announced that its defense might does not pose any threat to other countries as Iran's defense doctrine is totally based on deterrence.
