Iranian Fighter

[Brit]

A friend picked this up on an Iranian (Arabic?) language forum. Apparently it was published in an Iranian magazine. Looks like it is based on F5 which Iran is known to have reverse engineered.

Anyone know about it? Are they Russian AA11s on the wingtips?

I think this is what the Iranian called the Saeqeh-80. A locally produced F-5 with twin engines and twin vertical stabilizers intended to replaced the worn down F-14 fleet in service.

I cannot find any other source of information on this AC other than globalsecurity. Yes it is a crappy source but it will have to do for now.

From same source. Taking off. Sorry it's so small.
