Russia's Mikoyan Design Bureau is apparently cooperating with Iran in the development of the Shafagh stealth attack aircraft. The Shafagh was first
shown to public at the airshow in Iran in 2003 and externally is nearly identical to the earlier Mikoyan I-2000 light tactical fighter design proposed
under the LFI program. The Shafagh was shown as a model and and also as a full-scale mockup of the two-seat trainer version featuring advanced cockpit
design and a Russian-made K-36D ejection seat, earlier considered by the US for installation on the F-22 Raptor. The single-engined Shafagh is
believed to be using the Klimov RD-33 turbojets also used by the MiG-29.
