A joint fighter (for Arab & Islamic countries)


If Morocco were to initiate a fighter project I would want to keep it a simple Arab fighter aimed more at developing our own research capabilities in fighter development & to recover what Egypt forsoke under the HA-300 programme. I would invite, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Yemen, Lebanon, & even consult Iran about joining the project.

Funding alloted would be $1.5 billion & expertise from all countries will be sought at various levels of development based on how many are acquired.


From the top, the aircraft would be:


-Based on the F-5E/F
-Refitted for RD-93 (to replace the two J-85 turbojets)
-Enlarged structure
-Composite materials (developed in Iran)
-Fuselage to incorporate sharper LEREX
-Less 'waisted' re-design of wings
-Re-designed nose to accomedate Russian radar & weapons systems
-Re-designed wing for nine hardpoints


For

Morocco

Replace F-5E/F & Mirage F-1CH/EH


Egypt

Replace MiG-21MF/BIS, F-7B, Mirage III/5

Syria

Replace MiG-21MF/BIS & MiG-23MS/MF/ML

Jordan

Replace F-5E/F possibly Mirage F-1CJ/EJ

Yemen

Replace MiG-21 series & F-5s

Lebanon

They finally get an air force

Iran

Possible F-5E/F replacement, to become Iran's mainstay fighter/bomber




Unit could would be projected at less than $10 million per plane & the know-how & expertise will eventually be used to purchase more advanced fighter types from Russia & to build them under license as well.


Possible Customers


Pakistan (possible but busy with the similar performance JF-17 fighter/bomber)

Bangladesh (Needs a plan to replace F-7MB, A-5B & F-6B)

Sudan (needs a new fighter, something simple & cheap)

Other Arab countries possible (& may want to join)
