Iran building its own fighters

Post by GZR_Sactargets »

Homegrown Knockoff: Iran has rolled out its new indigenous fighter, conducting test flights Sept. 20 of two aircraft that the Islamic Republic News Agency said would join the Iranian Air Force on Saturday. The Associated Press news service reports that Tehran has begun production of the new fighters, which reportedly were derived from re-engineered US aircraft. (AP article via the International Herald Tribune.)

Yeah saw something months ago in Combat Aircraft mag, showing a picture of a twin tailed F-5. Of course the parts issue coming up last year when we sadly retired our F-14's.
