History
The Yasin Trainer Jet is an Iranian-developed aircraft designed for military training purposes. On 1 December 2023,[7] the final prototype of the Yasin successfully completed its first flight, marking a significant milestone in its development and the Iranian aerospace industry.
The initial version of the Yasin Trainer Jet was unveiled in 2019. On 20 March 2023, the new and production-standard prototype of the Yasin was unveiled, and its production line was officially launched. On 9 September 2023, the aircraft successfully completed its taxi test.[8][9]
Design
The weight of Yasin is 5.5 tons and can fly up to 1200 kilometers.[10][11] The wing's design enables the jet to land and take-off at a speed of at least 200 km/h.[citation needed] The length of this aircraft is 12 meters and its height is 4 meters.[12] Arming Yasin trainer jets for close air support is being considered.[13]
Crash incident
One of the two pre-production prototypes of the Yasin, which was scheduled to be displayed at the Kish Air Show in December 2024, crashed during a test flight on December 5, 2024. The crash occurred due to navigational issues and a collision with the Firouzabad Mountains. The two pilots on board, Colonel Hamidreza Ranjbar and Colonel Manouchehr Pirzadeh, died in the accident.[14][15]
