    That would be the "Short" answer.

    :DHere's a longer answer

    The Short SA.4 "Sperrin" (named after the Sperrin Mountains, a range of hills in Northern Ireland) was a British jet bomber design of the early 1950s built by Short Brothers and Harland of Belfast, popularly abbreviated "Shorts". It first flew in 1951. Although it was not put into production because swept-wing designs such as the Vickers Valiant were by then available, the Sperrin prototypes were valuable for research data on large jet aircraft.

    I should have recognized this one!

    Could be either, and both may be fighting each other since the plans were sold to China and then to Iran.

    Exactamundo. Off to you Tom.

    There's some real speculation in the intelligence community (and the military aviation community on the whole) about how the Chinese got the plans for the J-10. I don't know whether Iran will ever build an indigenous variant, especially since they'll likely be able to purchase a MiG-35 that is more capable for less up front cost.
