Iran Introduces Indigenous Fighter Jet
The Government of Iran has introduced the country’s latest fighter jet that it claims can evade radar detection. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the Qaher-313, or Dominant-313, showed Iran's will to "capture peaks".
Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi says Qaher is "fully indigenous," designed and built by Iranian aerospace experts.
Photos released by the official IRNA news agency shows Qaher as a single-seat jet, described as a fighter-bomber that can combat both other aircraft and ground targets, according to various reports.
Earlier in 2007, Iran unveiled what it said was its first domestically manufactured fighter jet, called Azarakhsh or Lightning and followed it up with the Saeqeh, or Thunder, derived from Azarakhsh.
