The head of Iran's aerospace sector said that 'the Russians and the Chinese have given us proposals' for fighter jets about a year before a U.N. arms embargo is set to expire.
The head of Iran's aerospace sector has announced new offers to purchase fighter jets from Russia and China, two countries supporting the Islamic republic as the United States tried to sever its international ties.
The general spoke directly of nations looking into Iran's own drones and its Kowsar-88 training jet, saying"different countries are offering us and discussing it, but it all depends on the date that the arms sanctions end," according to the semi-official Tasnim News Agency. He also said Iran may look to purchase new equipment abroad from two major powers.
