The article says it's from today, but isn't this old news? Also aren't these essentially modified F-5s? The claim it can also "evade radar" and is similar to an F/A-18 seems a little skeptical. Anyone know much more on them?

the truth is even more shocking.its being carried on their new low-profile stealth hovercraft.
As bad as it is, at least for once they have tried a bit at designing something something slightly different despite the F-22/F-35 references. There's a link at the bottom of that article to Iran's "new" attack helicopter, which by the looks of it is just an old Cobra.

Sounds like an RC model jet in this flying footage, backed up by what seems to a 1:1.5 mock up (as mentioned above) for the close ups!
