Iran claims domestic simulator capability
Iran has the knowledge base to ensure domestic production of flight simulators for all aircraft operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF), state-run news agencies reported on 6 July.
Speaking during a ceremony to unveil a flight simulator (pictured) for the Il-76, Brig Gen Aziz Nasirzadeh, Commander of the IRIAF, described the development as a ‘major step’, adding the IRIAF ‘experts’ produce simulators for 90% of the aircraft flown by the air force.
Mehdi Dabbagh, head of the IRIAF research centre, said that Iranian developers have produced simulators for F-7, F-4E, Su-24, and MiG-29 fighter aircraft, and a simulator for the Kosar indigenously produced fighter ‘will be manufactured in the near future’.
Nasirzadeh also said plans are in place to produce a simulator system for the Iranian-built P3F MPA.
