August 21, 2018 (Persian calendar 1397/5/30)

Iran has unveiled its first domestically designed and manufactured fighter jet named “Kowsar كوثر” (something Arabic) during a defense show in Tehran.

The aircraft conducted its first public display flight during Tuesday’s ceremony in the presence of President Hassan Rouhani حسن روحاني, Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami سرتيپ امير حاتمي and other senior military officials.

President Rouhani sat in the cockpit to order the flight.

The fourth-generation Iranian fighter jet is equipped with “advanced avionics and fire control systems” and can be used for short aerial support missions.

It also uses digital military data networks, multi-purpose digital monitors, ballistic calculation computers and smart mobile mapping systems.

The jet has an advanced radar system, enabling it to detect enemy targets. It is also equipped with a head-up display or HUD, which promotes precision targeting.

The plane can be manufactured in both single- and double-cockpit types, the latter of which can be used for advanced pilot training missions in addition to its combat capability.

The new defense achievement was unveiled on the eve of Iran’s National Defense Industry Day.

Over the past years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing military equipment and hardware despite sanctions and economic pressures on the country.
