IMO some sort of a Romanian design under the series of IAR-concepts ... quite funny - and barely known - there was a design called IAR-95, which was planned to use a WS-9 (aka a Spey 202), which not only superficially resembles the later FC-1/JF-17. That design was in fact from the late 1970s.
Your image is one of several concepts under consideration before the FC-1-look alike design was chosen.

It is one of the designs under consideration for IAR 95. These designs are to much close to jf-17. Was looking for possible upgrades for jf-17 and suddenly IAR 95 suggested images popped out. What an irony Romania who once scrapped the project is now in talks for it.
