Here is the saeqeh (dual fin F-5) picture. Noticeable changes include dual fin, new air intake shape and modified nose.

There's two versions of the sa'eqah.

The one in the picture and a new advanced version which hasn't been
shown as of yet.

The azarakhsh uses sidewinders and r-60 aphids

Incidentally you might be interested to hear that Iran has just produced the worlds' first mini-tank

More info when i get it...sorry it's spring and i'm busy with girls and work

Sidewinders? Do the Iranians have newer versions? Or they still using old stockpiles? I don't think the US supplied the Iranians with weapons since 1979. If the have sidewinders they are very old or they purchased them from an allie.

Last version of sidewinders that Iran still uses is AIM-9P and they don't get any newer version of it after 1979. But they have AA-8 and AA-11 Russian short range air to air missiles and also Chinese PL-7

That info from Globalsecurity isen't from the aircraft in the picture. Noway are those engines Rd-33 or that plane 17,7 meters long. In fact the size of the globalsecuritys aircraft is somewhat equal to MiG-29 with smaller wings...

Golly sez...

Man oh man..Bum info. What a shock. So does anyone one know the real information?

Hey Golly do you think that pic is real and not "PS"???

I think it's "PSed" Check out the shadow. It's to perfect and the rest of the aircraft is fuzzy. The tailpipe may seem to be to high off the ground. It also appears to be angeled odly as though pasted on that pic. Just my opinion..I could be wrong.

The bottom line is that I do believe that Iran has this aircraft but I just can't find any correct info on it.

It could be photoshopped, tough i'm not 100% sure. The proplem with these Iraninan projects is that the information is really confusing and sometimes bit contradicting too...

It isn't PS I'm sure because I saw its test flight video (this picture captured from that video and its poor quality is because of it) and also there is another pictures with high details if I found them I Will post them here.

Look at its wing I think it made of composite material

i am no expert at this, but how can you tell if it is made of composite.

also i am just wondering, wouldn't the nozzle too close together to employ 3d thrust???
