Iran Still Uses Navy F-14 Tomcats (And Is Making Them Even More Deadly)

10.8K

If we ever have to fight the evil Iranians, We sure don't want to have the underpowered F-35 go against these old and upgraded Tom Cats. The USN no longer has a dedicated fighter plane since the F-18 Superhornet is a fighter-bomber. If we went to war, I am sure some Tomcat pilots from Iran will damage or shoot down our aircraft.

The only fighter we have in my opinion capable of going against the Iranian Tomcats, is the AF's F-15 Strike Eagle an F-18 doesn't have the legs to get into a real dog fight with a Tomcat!! F-35 is a very costly joke of an airplane in my opinion!! The cost overruns are ridiculous!!!

The Phantom is my all time favorite airplane!!! It was combat tested Navy had an Ace Duke Cunningham, the Air Force had Driscoll!! It was one tough plane!!

CPO Charles Helms that's why Singapore and Saudi Arabia have been buying the strike Eagles. Now they're talking about flying some x-ray model Strike Eagles. I'm excited

And the Iranians get their training from whom? Our pilots will clean their clocks, Iran just doesn't know how to fight a modern airwar, no matter what they fly.
