Iran to begin mass production of home-made training jet

Brigadier General Afshin Khajeh Fard, the managing director of the Air Industries Organization affiliated to the Ministry of Defense, made the remarks during a ceremony on Sunday where Army Commander General Abdolrahim Mousavi visited the process of the flight tests of the Yasin jet.

He said that the development of this jet was an outcome of the cooperation between the knowledge-based companies and the country’s defensive experts.    

He added that the technology used in the production of the Yasin jet has been based on the needs of the country’s air industry.

In March, the Defense Ministry unveiled the standard version of the Yasin jet trainer and the assembly line for mass-producing the aircraft.

The Iranian jet trainer has been furnished with a homegrown ejection seat, avionics, engine, and landing gear.

The airborne weather radar installed on its radome has been manufactured by domestic knowledge-based companies.
