TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran said on Thursday it had “scared its enemies” by test flying two new generation, domestically-produced jet fighter planes and had shown its battle readiness, the latest riposte to speculation about a war over Tehran’s nuclear plans.
French officials, including President Nicolas Sarkozy, have spurred talk about a possible war by saying the failure of diplomacy to resolve Iran’s dispute with the West over its atomic programme could result in conflict.

However, if we're knocking developments of the F-5, could someone please remind me which plane the F-18 was developed from....?
Or is it just me that sees the family resemblance?
I guess one should never underestimate the power of a good paint job to strike terror into one's enemies.
Personally to me it looks like an F-5 with a new tail and a few thunderstrikes painted on it!
