maybe the outside, but lets not forget that Iran shares a body of water that is shared by Russia..... not too tough for Russia to send Iran a shitload of semi-modern plane electronics to put into their fighters.

 

 

---while still allowing Iran to claim "domestic" production

Where are they going to land them?

[TwiceHorn 31489]

They already had a fair number of F-5s courtesy of us.  Guess they just got out their calipers and went to work.  I suppose the F-4s, F-14s, Mirages and various Soviet craft were a bit too much.

 

F-5 isn't a bad little plane.  For a third world country.

i kinda thought the AF should find some F-20 tigersharks somewhere, paint them in a modern scheme, and use them as the jet fighters you can buy for $92 million, and here iran has basically done that.

If we sold them planes in the past I hope these fucks do not have access to a 3 d printer

I thought for sure when I clicked I'd see an F-4 Phantom.

Does it have a place to plug in the portable cassette player with the Sammy Hagar and Queen tunes?

Naw, their enemies fly the F4, otherwise you'll need scuba gear and metal detector.

I think he was going more "pro Iron Eagle" than anti Hagar/Queen.  But maybe both?

[mulletpelini 5211]

Gil sees things differently than you or I, and that's ok.

That looks like fighter equivalent of a Pontiac Fiero based Ferrari kit car.

I hate it when it does that.

Two-seater is the T-38, right?

[MadBurgerMaker 404]

^^ Yes ^^

 

This is at least the second F-5 bodykit they've come up with.  There was the one a couple years ago with the canted twin tails too.  They even painted it up Blue Angels style.
