Upgrade as they will, an Iranian F-14 is to an F-22 as a Curtiss JN-4 would be to a P-51D.

If the Russians are sending in Bears to combat ISIS, they are serious about winning.

Unlike the Air Forces F-15, the F-14 was something of a white elephant that required extensive maintenance especially as it aged.

It was intended to be the launch platform for the long range Phoenix air to air missile that never actually hit anything when finally used in combat back in the gulf war.

That does not look like an F-14 to me .. I used to watch them fly out of Miramar almost daily.

The F-14 is not a fixed-wing. That picture is a fixed-wing aircraft.

To me the best evidence the end is nigh:

“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb”

I saw the video and I thought it was one of the Sukhoi swept wing tactical bombers.
