They're citing Debka File...a notorious Israeli neo-con website, with a history of promoting dubious erroneous claims and falsifications.

Yes. However, Iran "claims" that they make this torpedo. They call it "Hut".

Obviously Russia and China have been aiding their arms industry in development covertly.

To my knowledge they bought few Shkval Es for their Kilos and then reverse engineered it in mid 2000s, i dont think it was intentional aid by Russia.

This technology can render higher numbers of vessels relatively unimportant.

Rosoboronexport gives export technology all the time through 'Transfer of Technology' (TOT) agreements.

Owj engine will be used in Kowsar-88 training jet which will be unveiled in this Persian year.
Video showing the manufacturing of Owj engine

This Owj engine have afterburner installed, so I doubt it will be used for training jet only. With major upgrades, most probably with help from Russia, I'm sure it have more trust than original J85 engines from their F-5E fighters. Their fully domestic Owj enjine will enable Iranian aviation industry to serially produce their own new built Saegheh fighters developed from F-5E/F (up to now they were modified existing F-5 fighters). With more powerfull engines, it will be no worse than JF-17 or Tejas,...
AFAIK iranians used to produce their own radars, and maybe they are on the verge to produce their indigenous miniaturized AESA radar. They produce their own air-air to missiles like Sidewinder, and Phoenix dubbed "Fakour". In my view Iran is seeking to produce-with cooperation- mostly a heavy superiority air fighter like SU-30 or J-11 to replace its F-14, and F-4 Phantom II. I don't know who among Russia or China will be the next provider.
... if Russia provide Kopyo multirole radar or even Osa-2 PESA radar developed for MiG-29UBT. Both radars could use R-77 missiles and have ground attack modes. With Pastel RWRs, it could use Kh-31P anti-radar missiles as well. Still good jet to support Iranian troops.
