Chinese military official gifts fighter jet mock-up to Iran air force chief

Feb 10, 2026, 10:18 GMT+0

A Chinese military attaché based in Tehran presented the commander of the Iranian army air force with a mock-up of China’s J-20 fighter jet.

The presentation of the J-20 mock-up to Brigadier General Bahman Behmard, whose images circulated on Tuesday, fueled speculations that Iran could obtain the aircraft and add it to its air force fleet, though no official announcement was made.
