IR of Iran Armed Forces Photos and Videos

Out of curiosity, has Iran ever gone forward to seek JV with either Russia or China for aircraft production? I know Iran is interested and may have approved through Russia to manufacture (or at least assemble) Tu-204SM jet liners. What about military aircraft? It may be beneficial for Iran to be able to at least manufacture or assemble J-10's or J-11's or JF-17's to get the knowhow as well as maybe even get localized production.

I realize how Iran changed during this last decade. The great challenge now for Iran is to build a good fighter, with indegenous engine. I know it is hard, however, I am sure Iran can.
If you have informations please let us know.

the defense minister  announced that Iran planned to display new  aircraft for training purposes called KOSAR 88
well.... that's  first step

from farsnews:

The Iranian commander referred to the country’s plans to build new fighter jets, and said, “Other projects are also underway by the Defense Industries to manufacture more fighter jets, one of which is Kowsar training jet.”

two snap shots of kosar from irinn:

kosar 88 is mainly based on Iranian build F5-A SIMORGH

and  their goal is to upgrade kosar  to close air support jet

Thx ShahryarHedayatiSHBA
Just a question please. I was suprised by iranian availlabilty to build the HESA Saeqeh. It looks like F-18. Question :
Are its motor engines indigenous ? Or just existing  engines in stock,  belonging to F-5 that were adapted to the HESA Saeqeh ?

i forget  some fact about kosar
yes......., it  based on the experience of  simorgh project
but it  shape and structure is  like frogfoot and it's sub sonic

Small model of kossar  :



kossar and saeghe:






and about saeghe :



all components of saeghe  are indigenous
except Turbine blade .... maybe Iran  did acquired them from china
Iran can  build Turbine blade for gas generators but they are multi-crystalline
and they are not suitable in super sonic engine
also we have in the news that the MAPNA Successfully  test  Small-scale production of Single crystalline blade
it takes time for mass productions

meanwhile they want to upgrade the saeghe project as  a capable two-seat  strike fighter:














and we have various armament for it





























































but about air superiority.......
well .... our air defense is mainly rely on SAM's
and we don't have any project about  indigenous air superiority fighter in near Future

Fantastic photos!

Sorry if my last question may have been odd, but I am just curious.

Anyway, looking forward to what Iran produces. The HESA Saeqeh is a fantastic looking aircraft and hope to see it flying en mass.

you know Iran is under  sanction . and no country can cooperate with Iran in building aircraft
 Iran also  banned from  buying fighter jets


some years ago we had  joint fighter  project with Russia . but after sanctions Russia Left us alone



SHAFAGH (Integral)  :

Iran may get their sanctions lifted soon... At least I hope so!

Russia could transfer information and maybe the design for a new jet, and Iran could be the producer. This tech transfers can be easily hidden, so there is a chance that no one would catch Russia (or any other country for that matter).

The Shafagh looks great, nice pictures! 

If the west wants Russia to follow their rules they need to treat it better.

Until they do, Russia should do what it likes when it likes.

Sell planes and plane designs to Iran.

So why they are waiting for the bans to be lifted ?

this was a very bad sign for countries who may have been considering joining the russian side.

PS: the syrian event corrected some these negatif points

They don't have to wait, and I guess they shouldn't, but the tyrannical West seems to be *somewhat* lightning up to them.

Russia pooped the bed regarding relations with Iran in the past. When Iran needed Russia, Russia kinda ignored them with fleeing the s-300 and aircraft deal, but Russia had ther hands tied regarding sanctions on Iran. Now Russia has sanctions on them and now trade is increasing between Russia and Iran (upcoming $70B trade according to PressTV).

In this case, Russia should just sell Iran what it needs amd work with them in various fields. I know both sodes were trying to compromise deal on the S-300P for S-300VM but who knows what is happening with that?
