The HESA Kowsar ({{lang-fa|کوثر}}, "thunderbolt"), also known as Kosar,[1] is an Iranian fighter jet based on the American Northrop F-5.[2][3] The aircraft is equipped with new fourth generation avionics in combination with an advanced fire control system.[4][1]

Western analysts have described the plane to be inefficient as a weapon, but having potential for training a new generation of Iranian fighter pilots.[5] According to the Iranian state-media, this fighter jet has "advanced avionics" and multipurpose radar, and it was "100-percent indigenously made".[6] It also uses digital data networks, a glass cockpit, heads-up display (HUD), ballistic computers and smart mobile mapping systems.[7][8]

Development

On November 3, 2018, there was a ceremony that inaugurated the launch of the Kowsar assembly line at the Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industries Company with at least seven being made.[10] President Hassan Rouhani was present as he inspected the Kowsar in the Defense Industry Day event celebration[11] in Isfahan.[12]

There were reports of a crash by an Iranian-operated F-5 days after the Kowsar's existence was announced,[13] although there was no indication that the accident was related to the new design.{{Citation needed|date=February 2019}}

Criticism

The Iranian press acknowledged that the design for the Kowsar is based on the Northrop F-5, but also lauded it for being the first fighter jet manufactured from the ground up by a Muslim nation[14] and referred to it as a Fourth generation fighter.[15]

Outside Iran, the Kowsar was ridiculed as an already-obsolete derivative of the F-5.[16][17] Comparisons have been made with the Taiwanese AIDC AT-3.[18]

According to Douglas Barrie, military aerospace senior fellow at the IISS, he mentioned that the Iranians have possibly made the upgrades and changes to the Kowsar while keeping the basic F-5 jet frame.[19] He also mentions that while Iran can reverse engineer the jet frame, the problem lies in sourcing engines and avionics.[20]

As such, the Kowsar also makes unapproved use of intellectual property from the US, which maintains a military embargo on Iran.{{Citation needed|date=February 2019}}

Export

On November 26, 2018 Brigadier General Abdoklarim Banitarafi, head of Iran Aviation Industries Organization (IAIO), announced that Iran was ready to export the HESA Kowsar jet and had agreements with Russia, China and Indonesia.[21]

Design

The Kowsar, like the Saegheh and the Azarakhsh, was made based on the frame of the F-5.[22]

Variants

The Kowsar is produced in single and two-seater variants.[7]
