Actually Iran have made their own jet. I must admit though I haven't seen it.


Iran have made a development of the F-5, onto which they've planted twin fins (a la F-18) and a few more cosmetic upgrades. Who knows what's different internally... :)

(Called the Sa-eqeh - the Thunderbolt)

They are making their own Huey Cobra's too. Looks like the AH-1J but has twin intakes. Cockpit has huge LCD screen and other goodies. Probably capable of using both (reverse engineered) US and russian weapon types.
Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and [url=http://an24.uw.hu/]An-24RV[/ur
