I've Been Thinking:
Iran flew its first totally, locally, manufactured fighter jet yesterday.
I watched the videos and it showed nothing exceptional.
The Jet is called the Kowsar or Thunderbolt. It is also the name of a section in the Koran.
The Kowsar is based on the US made Northrop F-5. Iran claims that their jet is 4th generation in its technology and that it is capable of jamming all electronic attacks.
It was said that Iran manufactured at least 5 Kowsar jets. They claim 7 but I saw a picture of 5 of them in the factory. Iran is now ready not simply to test, but also to sell them.
The question now is how well this Iranian-made jet stands up against the best US and Russian fighter jets and computer technology.
