Iranian Defense Minister Amir Khatami confirmed earlier appeared in the press information on, that the country has launched a program of mass production "Kovsar" fighter (Narration: She). This fighter 4th generation, the first of which in Iran for the general public has been demonstrated 21 August.

Amir Khatami:
We begin the production of the required number of such aircraft, and they will be placed at the service of our Air Force.
The Twitter account international journalist Abbas Juma presented photos factory floor, in which the assembly is carried out a number of new Iranian fighter.
Abbas writes with irony: "With - sanctions, And - isolation ".
It is worth noting, Iran's Air Force that is hardly developed. The problem stems from the fact, that armed Iranian armed forces are mainly battered US-made aircraft, including F-4. For obvious reasons,, servicing these planes appeared and there are substantial problems. That is why Iran decided to implement the investment in the creation of their own fighter. At the same time we can say, that shape “Kovsar” in many ways similar to the shape of the American F-5. by the way, these aircraft the Air Force of Iran (F-5Е) actively used during the war with neighboring Iraq.
About, how many “Kovsari” It will be ordered for the needs of the Iranian Air Force, not yet reported.
