Iran
has recently made good progress in the air industry and
has succeeded in gaining the technical know-how for producing
stealth aircraft and drones.
Iran
also witnessed the maiden flight of its pilotless trainer
aircraft in June at a ceremony held to mark the re-launch
of renovated Mig-29.
In
September 2009, Iran displayed the first squadron of Saeqeh
(Thunderbolt) fighter jets produced by its defense industries
in an air show staged during military parades at the beginning
of the Week of Sacred Defense, marking Iranians' sacrifices
during the 8 years of Iraqi imposed war on Iran in 1980s.
