Iranian produced documentry on F-14 service with IIAF/IRIAF, page 1

This is a surprisingly well done overview of the F-14 in Iranian service including some fantastic pilot anecdotes from the Iran/Iraq war.

There are some glaring omissions such as the Islamic Revolution's total purge of the air force being a significant contributing factor to what should have been a turkey shoot for Iran turning into a quagmire.

With that said, the political rhetoric is minimal with the focus being on the technical details such as aircraft, performance of the AIM-54, mission anecdotes etc.

Anyone who has done much reading on the F-14 in IRIAF service will recognize Tom Cooper's contribution as well.







Enjoy.

I'm surprised, where are our resident pro Iranian military experts?

The video's don't provide any earth shaking revelations to those whose interests have lead them to study the history of the F-14 in Iranian...

However the video's are on par with the History channel's Dogfight's series meaning there are lots of conversations with IRIAF Tomcat pilots and back seaters making fighter pilot motions with their hands (including the famous single AIM-54 triple kill )

The video's also demonstrate the competency of the IRIAF to continue to operate a very complex weapons system years into a war of attrition while under crippling international military sanctions.

Perhaps I should have titled the thread "Tomcats over Tehran" or some such nonsense?
