On the Anniversary of Iran's 1979 Revolution, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled on Saturday Qaher 313 (Conquer) fighter jet, developed by the Iranian Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics.


Ahmadinejad pointed to new achievement by Iranian people every day and said “this new fighter jet is a bomber and is fully engineered by Iranian scientists and has exceptional features.”

“This fighter is one of the most sophisticated fighter jets in the world, and we just talked to its test pilot, and he expressed great satisfaction for the flight performance as a professional pilot.”

Ahmadinejad added that “our experts and scientists have broken many boundaries, there is no phenomenon or device that our expert could not explore and our researcher could not find an answer for.”

“This shows the depth of our faith and expertise of our scientists,” he asserted.

He emphasized that “Iranian military power is not for dominating other countries, nor is it for attacking any country, it is for deterrence only.”

Iranian Defense Minister, Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi, congratulated the great achievement of Iran, saying that “this is the major breakthrough towards the fulfillment of the Supreme Leader’s insights,” and added “all design and production process of Qaher (Conquer) 313 indigenous fighter jet has been done by Iranian Aerial Defense Industries Organization and their professional scientists.”

In describing the physical characteristics of the Qaher 313, Vahidi said; “this is an advance fighter jet, with enhanced profile and a very small Radar cross section (RCS) and fly-by in low altitude is the most important feature of this fighter.” He also pointed to the need for short runway for taking off and landing of Qaher 313 fighter as another feature.

Vahidi outlined the use of advanced materials in aircraft construction and using advance avionics in the Qaher 313 fighter jet cockpit.

He also stressed the payload capabilities and ability to carry the latest indigenous advanced armaments and said “Qaher 313 fighter jet is outstanding symbol of ingenuity, creativity and courage of professional Iranians in Defense Ministry”.
