This is likely a composite airframe, with indications it consists of c/n Z1018, former F-5F 3-7171 FMS serial 75-0698, and c/n Z1027, former F-5F 75-0707 that also went to Iran under FMS. It is equipped with Russian ejection seats and Chinese navigation equipment. Saeqeh means Thunder in Farsi, and this is the only dual seat version known to exist.

So far, the twin fin conversion from F-5 to Saeqeh seems to be no more than a proof of concept. The ۲ on the tail confirms this aircraft was based at 2nd Tactical Air Base Tabriz, where 23 TFS is the IRIAF's sole Saeqeh squadron.

Six Bell 214Bs were noted on the platform, of which four could be identified. The type has been reported to be operated by the Assault Sqn as well as the Base Flights/SAR detachments. The information that one such latter unit is stationed at Mehrabad with seven Bell 214s makes it likely that is the operator of these Bells.
