1st off I am 100% sure that it is a high subsonic fighter NOT a supersonic fighter! If that design breaks the sound barrier it will start shaking to a point that it will compromise the airframe! So I'm sure!
2ndly you don't know much about fighters if you think Maneuverability is not important if a missile is fired at you and you can't make steep high G turns then your dead! Why do you think US put Thrust Vectoring on it's F-22 that is the most advanced stealth fighter in it's arsenal and the stealthiest? On a fighter they have banned from exporting! Also, if what you said made any sense the U.S. wouldn't of retired the F-117 a decade ago!
The F-15 was produced a decade before the F-117 and is still being used today but the F-117 is not! So Your absolutely wrong!
And here is your bird of pray
Max speed 299 MPH

SO again YOUR WRONG!
Iran is capable of building the Airframe of a 5th Generation fighter if they were to invest in it that much is clear
BUT Iran is NOT capable of building
1.Turbofan Engines with Super Cruise Capability
2.Thrust Vectoring engines
3.AESA Radars
4.5th Gen Data links
5.5th Gen Sensors
6.Advanced long range IRST
7.Helmet Mounted Displays
8.5th Gen Weapons Systems with BVR capability
Etc, Etc,
The most expensive part of an Air Superiority Fighter is it's Air Frame! Why? Because the amount of titanium required to build it is greater than the weight of the actual Aircraft it's the same with F-15's, F-14's & F-22's
Iran is capable of building a 5th Generation Supersonic Airframe with Low RCS (Stealth) and an Internal Weapons bay! BUT they Choose NOT TO DO SO! WHY? because they want to build a fighter with low titanium requirements just like the F-5 & the Q-313
It's not a matter of Can't! They can at the very least build a 5th Gen Airframe! The main problems is that they don't want to spend the money on a fighter that requires an expensive Airframe!
Titanium is one of the top 10 most abundant minerals in the world but what makes is so expensive is the process required in turning it into an alloy! Also, there are different grades of titanium & aluminum and the ones needed in Air Superiority fighters are extremely expensive
So it's not a matter of CAN'T it's that Iran doesn't WANT to build an expensive Airframe required in a 5th Generation Air Superiority fighter
