More than a few things wrong with the design..even though this is most likely a mockup.(because if this was a real fighter.. its built more like something from glue and cardboard).
including tiny intakes that will only suffer from airflow issues at high AoA.
Pointless angles below the wing to what look like to be the original idea of fitting intakes below the chines.
Too small to have any meaningful avionics other than a tiny radar...unless off course this is still just a modified F-5 without a relatively larger nose for radar.
Seems to be less practical and more conceptual/show-off.
The Shafagh fighter had a lot more potential and was much more practical and achievable.

ive posted it in the combat aircraft designs thread ---- this point as well as the fact that the intakes are not only dorsally placed but also might be relatively small in size... meaning the fighter might be a subsonic fighter at the moment just like the f117

[quote="ANTIBODY, post: 3875287"]the higher you go, lesser the air pressure --- to allow good airflow to the intakes most inlets are not on top.The goal is to have a uniform pressure distribution at the fan face. Except some fighters like F-107A, there are not many fighters with this config--With a dorsal inlet,there is nothing to redirect the flow and you also want to avoid ingesting the thickening boundary layer due to high alpha, or worse yet vortices off the nose--The visibility/ejection might be problematic for the pilot aswell
