How many AIM-54A/C Fired from navy F-14's?
None of them shoot their targets down and it has a reason
You know what's the reason
According to Tom Couper's opinion the US Navy can't installed the AIM-54's correctly
But the reverse of it is really attractive
During Iran-Iraq war we had fired many AIM-54 from 80 till 10 mile distance in front of many kind of fighters
No matter Soviet or France fighters they are
Or no matter they are Su-22MK-4's,MiG-25's,Tu-22's,Mirage F-1's,Super etandard's,or Mirage III's(Egypt gave IrAF 3 Mirage III with US made ECM Pods)
And these fighters used the last version of ECM available at that time For example Soviet made the war a real lab for test his weopons and systems
If Iranian AIM-54's downgraded so they can't reach their targets
In a time IRIAF F-14 fired 3 AIM-54 to first to two C-602 fired from Tu-16(K-6D) second Tu-16 and the result is clear the Tu-16 and of of the C-602's shot down but the other C-602 explodes in the air before the Phoenix reach it
In the battle with F-1's they use heavy ECM but inspite of that Tomcat and phoenix don't have any problem with them
So never tell it again
I wonder you know why IRIAF F-14's don't have the IR seeker or explain it?
