The Islamic Republic of Iran has manufactured a simulator for the F-4 Phantom fighter jet, a technology not developed by many states. 

A military commander of Iran's army announced Thursday that the simulator was built by Iranian experts over the past year. 

The project cost nearly one million dollars, IRIB reported. 

The commander said the technology offers many advantages for the country, including the easier training of pilots, a high index of security and a savings of foreign exchange. 

Iran is self-sufficient in building numerous defense systems and aircraft despite various sanctions imposed against the country over the past 30 years. 

In February 2008, Iranian technicians successfully developed the first home-made full flight simulator for gun ships, making the country the first one to achieve the technology in the Middle East.
