The fighter is a new generation of Iran’s first domestically manufactured Saeqeh fighter jet with enhanced features, which will include aerodynamic balance, missile and radar systems.
The Saeqeh is similar to the US-built F/A-18, though it is modelled after the US F-5E/F Tiger II and its outer appearance is similar to the latter.
Iran unveiled its first squadron of Saeqeh fighter-bombers in September 2010, Press TV reports, quoting media sources.
