Please God be the SU-35

Congratulation to my Iranian compatriots!! But good God what's with that ugly *** paint job

Perhaps their delivery is tailored exclusively to being SU-35 trainers which would mean that the deal is still on? I can only imagine in that case that Kowsar will serve in a CAS/light-fighter role (and maybe advanced trainer) and Yasin being a novice/general trainer. My two cents

Great stuff!! Does anyone happen to know if the engine is domestically made or if it is imported? Also, do we have any images of the plane's cockpit; would be awesome to see indigenous avionics and electronics on board.

Does anyone know the full range of Iranian air-to-air missiles that are domestically produced? And if so, their specifications Would be interesting to see what IRIAF SU-35s could be armed with from Iran's indigenous inventory

OMG IT'S HAPPENING

Yes, I've certainly noticed this too!! Even the US state department gave only an emailed response to a *question* by a reporter. I found that interesting, usually a formal written statement would come out Maybe US mid-terms being a day away has something to do with it.

This secret UAV base is great but I noticed that none of the UAVs have EO cameras equipped and so I'm slightly puzzled...

Such a sexy design God damn

Okay hold on so I'm now 50% less annoyed. Check this out So the engine itself is not an Iranian design BUT according to this MODAFL catalogue Iran produces the engine under license. I guess this is good, but this engine has been used on this type of bird since 2007. Let's hope our scientists...

See, this annoys me. As great as this achievement is until we get an 100% indigenous engine then there is always the chance we could be exploited. Nonetheless, Simorgh is a great leap forward for our aviation industry. Agha Sattari is a great manager (VP for Science & Technology since Rouhani...

Seems I was beaten to it but damn I am *beyond* excited to see Simorgh taking to the skies!! I wonder if the engine is now 100% domestically made

Well well well...look who's made a reappearance after a long long absence Seen at the Iraqi defence exhibition
