Last September- Iran announced it had developed a new warplane named “Thunder,” which it described as similar to the American F-18 fighter jet.
Here is a photo of the Thunder jet, via Middle East Online:
Hmm… This is odd.

It looks like the Azarakhsh may have lost its Thunder.
UPDATE: HolyCoast has more questions for the Iranian air force.
