Now this is exciting! If Iran's auto industry joins efforts, Iran can build thousands of drones in no time.

it does not look like a winged bomb. also the munitions are placed in a symmetrical manner to the plane.

What is that btw?

For me it looks like an IR Air to Air missile.

 

[Mithridates]

What is that btw?

aim-9 or soviet RE version of it. if i'm not wrong it's called k-13.

 

[Mithridates]

this is what Russian pilots do when they feel cockpit is too hot.

 

[Philosopher]

is approximately the same as su-35

Close, but not close enough. Su-35 will provide Iran with a platform which it will upgrade with its own technology going forward. Iran is not like nations such as India and Saudi Arabia that seem to purchase different fighters jets every few months. Get one good platform and then upgrade it yourself. A few dozen (at least 60) Su-35 will provide Iran with a good added capability until its own stealthy fighters and associated UCAVs are ready to be produced in next 10-15 years. If need be, more fighter jets could be purchased in the meantime but Iran needs to invest as much of its money as possible in its own industries.

True. If you look at iranian air force weapons, they have a variety of missiles and guided weapons. They only need their own platform to install these weapons on it. Iran as you mentioned should buy a number of fighters, then Work on its own one and they can benefit from the advanced jets they will buy in terms of technology and other aspects. I don’t know if russia accepts a deal that includes TOT.

Also, su-30sm2 has the 2 best features su-35 has, the AL-41F1S engines and Irbis radar. Can’t iran upgrade also the su-30sm2 if they acquire it like the su-35?
