[Mr Iran Eye]

This plane intrigues me because it seems shorter in length than the kowsar and when you look at its rear design, it seems to carry a single engine.

2 air outlet, intriguing

Agree

Can't quite make out if those wings are delta's or not.

Comments, anybody?

never saw such low resolution photo of kowsar assembly line , i say don't read too much into it that easily can be the result of low resolution and lack of detail.

typical f-5 wing from front and slightly above

This plane will have a new radar, elements of artificial intelligence, new electronics, that has already been said. And it's clear that they use special paint to reduce its radar signature. The plane on the right of the photo is also new. This long body aircraft is truly special and one of a kind

Greetings

Fully agree with your first sentence. Regarding the last two sentences ...plane on the right .... and ...The long body aircraft... does this refer to the pic above with an RD-xx been tested, and to the right the 'long body' a/c.

Regarding the last, would this represent a stretched Borhan B92 trainer/CAS.

Salutations

Entièrement d'accord avec votre première phrase. Concernant les deux dernières phrases ...l'avion à droite.... et ...L'avion à corps long... est-ce que cela fait référence à la photo ci-dessus avec un RD-xx testé, et à droite le 'corps long' 'climatisation.

Concernant ce dernier, cela représenterait-il un entraîneur/CAS Borhan B92 étiré.

This is interesting,this is not F14 wing,

I meant to reply to this sooner. Azarmehr stated a few weeks ago that other aircraft could launch a Fakour 90, if they were data linked to a nearby tomcat and using its radar to guide the missile.

Really special this plane with a long body and delta wings

 

[Hack-Hook]

Really special this plane with a long body and delta wings

its not technically a delta wing, its a traditional trapezoid wing + LERX
it help delay the stall by controlling the airflow over the wings , its part of the design that F-5, F-18, and Kowsar inherited from N-156 platform

Impressive to watch.

An Image that caught the eye straight away where those of an unknown combat a/c.

Any luck with i.d.?

The inner circular wing looks a lot like the old Eurasia / Mukhamedov designs albeit not as prominent.

PS: modified from this one?

I managed to tease out some clarity at least of the intakes of the model exhibited in the TV interview, above, viz:-

What would happen if the V tailplanes are replaced by a single vertical one?

And, what are the possibilities of the above a/c having any connection to the following image (cropped here):

Per Mr Iran Eye.

Well, at least this long vexing Q is at last coming to a head.

Thanks, but just in short to your last question: "And, what are the possibilities of the above a/c having any connection to the following image (cropped here):"

IMO none, the one below is clearly a F-5 / HESA Azarakhsh.

Thank, thus F-5 + F-20 on steroids + indigenous F-5 based iterations,+ Kowsar + its single seater with a single A/B RD-XX of 20 000lbs (~88,9 kN) per the Supreme Leaders 2018 directive, plus possibly delta wings. Lets call these wing Iranian Advanced Combat Wings (IACW) for now. Not clear however if these wings remember those intended for
Project Shahid Erfanian.

with a single A/B RD-XX

The RD-33 in the pic looks new, yes, but maybe it is only an overhauled one and not a fresh produced one. But who knows cause the ability is there
