The fighter aircraft has been designed and built by experts with the Islamic Republic Army and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics.

“Successful flight of the domestically manufactured fighter is a sign of our country’s scientific and technical achievement,” said Governor General of Isfahan Morteza Bakhtiari in a ceremony held to mark Azarakhsh’s test flight.

Bakhtiari said, “At a time when the US plans to sell arms to its allies in the region, our country’s technicians take greater giant strides for national defense self-sufficiency.”
Defense Minister Brigadier Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar had earlier said that the first such domestically made fighter aircraft would fly within the next two months.
