Iran just unveiled a new trainer aircraft, Doy you think this is a repaint of a Chinese product as usual or this time they really made something??
I didn't see this type of plane before

AIDC AT-3 ?
But how can they get a Taiwanese aircraft, Taiwan isn't very fond of the Chinese

doesn't look at all like this
>>34626491
Ive never said so

Honestly, for country who was under sanctions for almost 40 years, this is pretty great achievement.

Looks like a repainted L-39

This.

Not same, for example its missing the splitter. Also look at the nose and the tail profile carefully. There's probably only one optimal aircraft shape for given preconditions, so they look similar.
>>34625628
Looks like a non-flyable mock up.
They say it has two engines more powerful than the F-5 jet but that the trainer weights half as much. I bet it would tear itself apart if it ever flew.
>The people in here applauding Iran for this
Looks like the sort of thing that 50s airforces would have considered a low-end trainer. Really, a country with Iran's resources should be more than able to cobble together a trainer a bit more sophisticated than that.

It's just an F-5E copy

good job on your aircraft recognition, /k/.

This was my first thought, but it seems to be an alteration on this kind of look, rather than a straight up copy.

It shouldn't be a surprise that Iran can make F-5E copies; it's clear from the Saeqeh that they've pretty much reverse-engineered the design.

I never said so
>>34629795
why are iranians always so fat
>>34625628
Kebabs literally designed this near pin point to a GTA V jet
