For god sake what are you talk about...don't start like those kids online..most of them are talking BS and never read nothing about...calling it Iranian 5th gen aircraft...... it is CAS/frontline bomber and SUBSONIC aircraft ,that design is atcually very good for what is intended and it is not replacement for fighter aircrafts or as someone state exuce for not investing in IRIAF.But can it fly *well* is the issue... can that airframe handle well at transonic and supersonic speeds? Can it even reach supersonic speeds? Is it capable of supercruise with current engine technology? Does it have enough inherent instability to do high AOA manoeuvres at low speed? Does low or high altitude flight have significant negative effects on flight? Does it have a safe landing speed?
etc...
They chose that plane for very good reson...it is cheap...it is subsonic so they have engines for it and design is good foor high speeds at low atlitude ,it is intended to do missions like SU-25 or A-10 and since it is low RCS it can approach very close to ships armed with ASM ..in fact I think that is main role where they see it ,penetrate at low atlitude ..fire missiles and get out.
What supercrouse???And I really can't understand why people can even think this is 5th gen aircraft and talk about supersonic cruising...... when they clearly stated what is this aircraft for...in every article I read every officials said it is CAS subsonic aircraft....
