From what I read, they modified that TU-154 with the F-5 fuselage to perform inflight testing on their newly made ejection seats. Wonder who the poor sap is going to be sitting in that seat :shock:

LOL! Somebody remind the Irianians that they don't have to use real, live pilots during the ejection seat tests.

I think you mean Iranian PREVIOUS generation fighter. Maybe even a double step backwards.
