Iran unveiled indigenous "kowsar" fighter jet with 4th gen avionics

.
I think at the end of 1398 we'll have 50 Kowsars.

Unless Iran increases it's production capacity from what was shown, we will be lucky if they even manage to produce so much as 14 Kowsars a year....

And there in lies the problem in picking a small, short ranged, low payload, low cost CAS platform for a country like Iran because at the end of the day Iran would have been far better off choosing and producing a force multiplier at 2-3 times the production cost at half the production rate compared to the kowsar.

Short of using the Kowsar as an advanced supersonic trainer, I just don't see much of a future for that aircraft and Iran's Air Force rather than investing in new CAS platforms should instead be thinking about replacing it's current fleet of CAS platforms like the F-5 with UCAV's.

I found this in youtube recommended feed. How does kowsar compare here?
Also, does kowsar have an aesa? or some new planar array with electronic scanning?
