Iran announced that it would soon test fly the third generation of its domestically-built fighter jet ‘Saeqeh’ (Thunderbolt).

An earthquake measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale jolted the region of Silvaneh in Iran’s northwestern province of Western Azarbaijan on Friday.

Saeqeh enjoys high maneuverability and operational powers, pilot Hamid Reza Gorji who tested the Iran-made fighter jet on Thursday said.
