Seems like whenever Iran is about to create something on their own, the Russians finally sell their equipment LOL. I should've known earlier when they announced the Su-35's


Revival of IRIAF in progress.....

Based on these images, and the announcement of an unveiling tomorrow. Seems like many here believe a F-16XL type airframe will be unveiled(?)

Airframe wings looks like

Unless I mis-interpreted from other users here....I am not really well versed in airforce matters.

With this new aircraft model, we are not very far from the Shafaq model. I find the transition magnificent

Do you think that's the main goal, or that was simply experimental model with Russia.

I am convinced of it but having in mind that they are working on other aircraft models behind the scenes. We haven't seen the latest advances of the Qaher-313, that's another surprise to come

It doesn't look alike a delta one, it must have vertical+Horizontal stabilizer.

For this one likely.

Possible that there is variant of Kowsar with improved conventional set up and another being a derivative with F-16XL alike delta wing.

24 su 35 are good for immediate danger but its not enough for covering Iran air space ... we need at least 300 fighter jets and from what we learned from Ukraine war , expensive fighters are good for short war or special operation but if war continue using them would be riski ....

hell , I think if we make some cheap fighter jet with low cost and good performance , Russian themselves would ask for buying them ...

They have good fighter jets but those are too expensive to put in danger in prolonged war for Russia ...

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a delta wing compared to a swept wing?

The fact that the SNSC (Supreme National Security Council) official account is also mentioning a "important" event tommorow, makes me kinda stressed but also very curious. They usually don't comment these things, but it seems like the developments and revival of the IRIAF has got them very interested, while we also wait for foreign guests to arrive.
