EDIT: I just saw this under the second image. (Guess I'm not that observant after all.)
Iran claims it has produced a new, advanced fighter plane. But the photographs show an F-5F. (All images credit: Tasnim News
That's what I thought when I saw this story ... sure as hell looked like an F-5 to me. And they do have them, so they just reverse engineered. I doubt it has any opposing military aviation folks frightened.
I thought Iran was buying Su-30s. Maybe not, as I don't see why they'd be messing with these if they were.
