F-14 Tomcat:

The movie “Top Gun” featured the United States’ F-14 Tomcat, which became famous for its use during the second Iraq-Iran war. This aircraft also performed quite well, even though it was based on an old design when compared to other technologies used at that time.

The F-4 Phantom II is one of the most common types of warplanes in the IRIAF. An American fighter made by McDonnell Douglas, it had a long operational history that included involvement in conflicts with Iran, Israel, and the United States. Despite its age, however, the P-4 Phantom II still remains a deadly presence, with 63 units in service in Iran.
