MNA � Iranian Defense Minister Amir Hatami said that Kosar fighter/trainer jets will be soon delivered to the Air Force of Iran�s Army.

Preliminary stages of �Kosar� jet mass production line has been completed and it will soon be inaugurated, he told reporters Wednesday on the sideline of a cabinet session.

The domestically-made fighter/trainer jet �Kosar�, mainly developed by the Iran Aviation Industries Organization, was unveiled back in July 2017, and showcased to international audience at MAKS air show in Moscow.

�Kosar� is an advanced fighter jet with a Close Air Support (CAS) role that has made Iran one of the few countries with the know-how of designing and manufacturing such jets equipped with 4th generation avionic and fire-control systems.

The jet will be mass-produced with one-seat and two-seat, the latter of which can be used for both military and training purposes.

The twin-engined, two-seat Kosar jet successfully ran through test-flights on August 21 in the presence of President Rouhani.
