#6 as noted in the article, the jets were F-5s

The last F-5s delivered to Iran were in 1976.

With respect to the maintenance of electrical systems, this must be very difficult.

#8 I only hope the Israelis circulate what appear to be internal Iranian documents discussing all the problems they are having with ejector seats.
