Made in Iran

No, it was probably a test prototype probably leading to development of Shahed:

HESA Shahed 285 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This one is mass produced. Comes in two land and marine variations and is exclusive to IRGC.

That heli was made in the 80's during the Iran-Iraq war.

It looks funny, do you have some photos or videos of it, taken during that war?

It was never used and was just a test bed. Who cares about what it looks like? Its purpose was not to win beauty contests was it? Its purpose was to give Iran experience in helicopter development and design. Not all countries could just import technology from helicopters like turkey did with Italian A-129. Some countries actually have to develop the technology themselves. Considering Iran had no experience in helicopter design/manufacture and was in middle of a costly war, it is not all bad. One has to put things into perspective.

This is one of them, called Homa:

Visit the thread below, you'll see two of the helicopters being developed, one which is HOMA:

Hopefully, nothing like Qaher F-313 development...

Hopefully, its quality will be like the Italian A-129 you ripped off.
Talking about planes, remember your "modernised" F-4 shot down by Syria? I heard the only thing they found remaining from your pilot were his shoe. As long as Qaher does better than this, I'll be very happy.

It seems I was wrong and the bodies of your pilots were found at the bottom of the Mediterranean:

It seems Qaher development has to reach a higher threshold now.

If after all these years you still call T-129 an A-129 rip-off even though we said/proved that the only think about the T-129 was its design then tell me right now why i should take you serious from now on.

The RF-4 Recon Phantoms were not modernized nor did they have any counter-measure in the slightest. I am guessing you are refering to the F-4 Terminator 2020 which was Upgraded by IAI. Luckely the fleet was retired and F-16 with Recon pods took over their role. You can have your Qaher-313 as i prefer something that actually flies.
