wll more like what F-20 was supposed to be but with more modern equipment. by the way aerodynamic of Kowsae is more like F-18 than f-16
If you are going to go thru the trouble of redesigning Kowsar to be F-20 inspired you will might as well redesign a whole new fighter that is medium class Something like S-75.
Big issue again is titanium alloys and equipment to forge these airframes (ovens, furnace system, etc)
That is a BIG reason we are stuck with F-5 that uses (I believe) less than 5% titanium in its entire airframe.
