44 air worthy tomcats!

Well, they have been able to get many spare parts through some third parties.

And they also seem to be successful in reverse engineering and have produced some AIM-54A missiles.
However, during Iran-Contra, they got whatever they needed!

However, they had tried to install HAWK SAM on F-14s in late 1980s which failed though!

Don't forget that they had purchased many years worth of spares for all of the aiframe, subsystems and support equipment. The Homafars were well trained to maintain the equipment.
