As far as I know, this plane has a large radar in it's nosecone that none of our current UAVs can lift it up.

Come on!! More electronic part means more risk of getting hacked in mid air. They even did not install air conditioning in the cockpit too in a fear of getting hot.

I Think this is a good effort, but Iran has the most important strategically located Persian Gulf Sea, Iran needs to have a strong modern MPA Fleet. In exchange of Oil can always under the table ask China for potential technologies currently being used on Y-8X MPA and furthurmore Y-9 which a completely new MPA, though China is upgrading and developing the necessarily avionics-radar and complete suite for the Y-9MPA which is yet to be operationalized possibly going under Trials. I believe China can provide necessary technologies to equip Iranian [5]MPAs under $200M. You see something that is available from a friendly neighbor there is nothing wrong in procuring technologies under mutual trade regardless of sanctions alot moves around from here and there known globally.

Search. It contains an IR sensor and a camera with high zoom capability for searching the sea. Good for SAR and Recon missions.

Iran army is barred from buying any military airplane by a law passed in our parliament ,before all these talk about Iran nuclear program even begin , the parliament simply told the army if you want new toys ,you must build it yourself.

Bad parliamentary move; I was referring to Technologies and not the airframes, IF an friendly country has something that could be willing to exchange-trade for something valuable it would be a potentially good deal to learn from and develop, if I have never seen a rectangle how am I going to draw it.

Noticed the above images, the laptop is american compaq presario 2800, I thought iran would use home made computers, what's up with that.
