Nodak Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/how-iran-taking-ancient-f-14-tomcats-and-making-them-better-74896 Fascinating story, didn't know the original Tomcat fleet weren't even sidewinder and sparrow ready, they had to add that capability themselves later. Nothing was really ready to go, training was never fully finished, nor spare parts delivered. First combat sorties were Phoenix and guns only.
