[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Iran has been affected by sanctions for a long time and it is difficult to develop its military. However, the country still insists on "domestic machinery and domestic production".

Today (11) the first prototype of Iran's self-made "Yasin" (Yasin) advanced trainer aircraft left the factory.

However, its appearance and design resemble the AT-3 advanced trainer aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, which has also attracted attention.

Iran's Mehr News Agency (Mehr News Agency) reported today that Iranian Defense Minister Mohammad Reza Gharaei Ashtiani attended the unveiling ceremony of the production line of the Yassin high-tech aircraft.

It is understood that the Yassin Higher Education Aircraft has a fuselage length of about 12 meters, a maximum speed of Mach 0.8, and a take-off weight of 5.5 tons.

Ashtiani pointed out that in the past, training for Air Force pilots was conducted outside Iran.

Due to Western sanctions, Iranian pilots are no longer able to receive training abroad, but with the Yassingo teaching aircraft put into use, this will help train pilots so that they can learn to fly fighter jets faster.

From the released photos, it can be seen that the Yassin high-level training aircraft is similar to the AT-3 advanced training aircraft of the Chinese Air Force in terms of shape design and aerodynamic layout.

AT-3 is an advanced trainer aircraft developed by my country's Hanxiang Aviation Industry. At present, the Air Force has gradually replaced AT-3 from the "Yongying" advanced trainer aircraft.
