Key Points and Summary - This article provides a rare inside look at how Iran's industry reverse-engineered the American F-5 fighter after being cut off by sanctions following the 1979 revolution.

The F-35 is equipped with stealth technology and state-of-the-art sensors that help it to avoid radar. Due to this, enemy's radars are unable to detect the F-35 fighter aircraft.

While much remains unclear, it’s certainly plausible that Iran feels it has gotten the short end of the stick in its military-technical cooperation with Russia.
