Russian engine I presume? What do you guys think?
No, not a Russian engine. The engine is an Iranian OWJ (Zenith), which is a reversed engineered copy of the J-85 which powers the F-5 series of fighters. Iran "unveiled" the OWJ engine back in early 2017. And this "domestic" aircraft is itself a modified F-5.
