Is it just me or does this look suspiciously like an American two seat F-5?

You are correct, I think they are just rebuilt with additional goodies

Seeing how Iran already had USA made F-5's, not hard to imagine that they would build based off that design. Easy to reverse engineer when you have some already. Not like they could buy new ones from the USA, so they just made their own.
May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!

As long as they just have the one, we should be fine.

seems stupid to threaten us with a weapons system we know inside and out. I'd like to see it in action against a super hornet.

Looks like a newer version of the plane that 5 oclock Charlie flew in that episode of MASH.
Ratz knows what Im talking about.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

They are called the T-38 now. The airframe's capabilities play second fiddle to the radar technology anyways. No matter how well your plane performs if you can't see the enemy and they can see you, then you will lose.
