A Mirage fighter jet has been overhauled at an Iranian army base in Mashhad.
Young Iranian military experts and specialists overhauled a Mirage fighter plane in the "Martyr Habibi" base in Mashhad.
The aircraft is one of the Iranian Army’s most sophisticated air force aircraft with fourth generation technology. The Mirage's radar is able to intercept and identify land, air and sea targets.
All avionics systems and the thruster on this aircraft have been overhauled after 20,000 man hours and during a complicated engineering process and the aircraft is 100% operational.
After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the Iranian Army Air Force developed its capabilities one after another and manufactured and unveiled several weapons and equipment, thanks to the support of the Ministry of Defense, Industry local and Iranian expert capacity.
In this straight line, the Deputy Commander of the Air Force of the Iranian Army, Brigadier General Hamid Vahedi, said that all phases of the overhaul of the transport and fighter planes had been completed by the Iranian specialists in the interior of the country whereas it was the American military advisers who did it before the victory of the Revolution.
"In addition, the spare parts that the Air Force needs are now produced by Iranian industry," Hamid Vahedi said on February 8, on the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution. “The C-130 and MiG-29 planes were recently revised by Iranian specialists,” he explained.
The Army's Deputy Air Force Commander said new cameras have been fitted to an F-4 to increase the capabilities of that aircraft. “We have had a lot of success in the promotion of our aircraft, particularly in terms of radar capabilities,” he noted.
Hamid Vahedi then referred to the Saeqeh fighter jet and the modern Yassin trainer plane, designed and manufactured from A to Z in Iran, adding that the Iranian-made Kowsar fighter plane had been enhanced by radars and a modern avionics system before being handed over to the Air Force.
“The Kowsar avionics system and engine were produced in Iran. This aircraft is equipped with a very sophisticated radar and the guided missiles will be mounted there in the future ", explained the senior Iranian officer before adding:" We try to give a stealth character to our planes of all kinds ".
He said the Iranian air force had successfully fitted the Ababil-3 drones with rockets and fired a 500-pound bomb from the Karrar drone. “These are only a small part of what we have learned. The others will be publicized after their finalization ”.
