Okay my 100% honest take.
The air frame is F-5 agreed but what about all its systems. Yes it looks old from 70s but what about all the systems. Tell me which countries are making their own ejection seats? Tell me which countries are making their own jet engines and flying their jets with it? Which country has its own HUD system? They have started it and after USA Russia and China they are the only country to produce all equipment of a fighter jet domestically. I cannot judge it until I have specs. There is no info of its thrust to weight or Radar type or anything else my judgement needs info. But the declared systems Iran has achieved which hand full of countries have done. What most are doing is what India did with jf-17 but where is India and where do we stand today just in few years.
I'ts no use...Listen, I'm an Iranian, I like Iran, irrespective of which political party is running things. But I have to say I believe this reveal tells us that this was all for domestic consumption and maybe a little duping of the folks in government. Duping by the military that is. How did I arrive at that? Well, only reason to unveil and rename a piece of existing hardware as something new is to show the civilian government/people some progress for all the money they've spent....same as F-313 that project is probably one big scam to fleece the government. We don't need it and it will never reach production. This is all a show, government and budgetary abuse at it's finest. Don't get me wrong this kind of crap goes on everywhere....every country, it's not unique to Iran.
