Iran needs those. We don't. At least for few centuries.
We just buy from big brother even if we dont need it. |

We built a fighter airplane once. Long ago.

My dad worked for Avro - as test instrumentation engineer. He worked on the Arrows. I wouldn't be here if the Arrow program didn't get canceled...
I hear that some divers are really close to finding some of the scale models of the avro they shot out over lake ontario. |

Here's vid of the damned plane flying--but looks like a model to me. The point I was trying to make is if they have the tech and budget to build these, would our money not be better spent developing our own?

The view inside the cockpit (now vanishing off the internet)shows that Iran has an active and viable fibreglass industry.

It appears to fly (or something with the same profile...)
couple of points:
1) The front of the cockpit area appears too small to have any combat usable radar system.
2) The ways the intakes are placed, inset and above the wings, would appear to restrict the airflow in any high angle of pitch (low speed) and could easily cause compressor stalls.
3) The angles on the frame appears to be too smooth. This would negate the (stealth) radar profile (best is multiple sharp angles).
My 2 cents... Oh yea, we don't have those anymore. |

We can't anymore. After the cancellation, we signed a treaty with the USA that forbids us to unilaterally build our own fighters. We can only build them "in partnership" with the USA.
We've literally surrendered part of our sovereignty to the USA. And considering how poorly the Americans have behaved in foreign nations, it doesn't comfort me one damn bit.

| We could just treat the treaty the same way the Americans treat NAFTA. Build it anyway and too bad if they don't like it.
Not that I support us spending all that money to build a jet. I think it'd be cheaper to just buy one.

buying the PAK piss the US off bigtime?!
