Well, after finding what really happened with this unveiling, I have to say I overreacted. Yes, I was angry when they unveiled an F-5 and called it "New" but thanks to western journalism I read Sebastian Roblin's article and it turns out they were supposed to unveil a Kowsar-88 jet with these new avionics packages but Kowsar was not ready and they instead used the F-5....well Kudos to the Iranian engineers and shame on the commanders for botching up yet another unveiling.

PS: I will bet a 1000 bucks Mr. Roblin is in this very forum....
This guy is talking smack and has no clue what he's talking about. The defence minister stated clearly in his interview a week or so before unveiling that the jet to be revealed has nothing to do with the trainer they showed last year. The reason they revealed this jet as "indigenous" is quite simple...because almost all it's parts ARE indigenously build. They never said the F-5 is an Iranian design... One needs to have an IQ above 60 to understand this but obviously these people don't.
