Systems like TAWS(the "too low, terrain" alarm) aren't in aircraft of that era. The best you're going to get is a red light that turns on when the radar altimeter gets below whatever you set the bug at. The F-5 was made to be a simplistic and cheap plane to export to US allies/puppets, so unless they modernized the systems it might not even have that. A recent-ish picture from inside an IRIAF F14 cockpit I saw looked like it had original avionics, so it doesn't seem likely.
