lol...F-14. Fucked up but tis an old airplane.
I still swear that somewhere in Grumman's offices is a detonator that can destroy all their planes with the push of a button.
moneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoney makes the world go round
more targets.
that is some oversight....
Not to worry I heard the parts sold were merely bumper stickers that read "My child is an honors student at Khomeini High."
Edit: I should have read first. Oh well.

Oh well, they're old planes, and its not like Iran has many of them...

Well they're old, broken down, and haven't had proper maintenance in decades, so....I bet that even with these parts, they might be able to get these jets up and flying for about a month, if at all.
Target practice... hopefully the US will be able to deal with suped up Iranian F14s... lol

The Iranians have F-14A's. Any modifications would have been done in-house, with Iranian (or soviet?) technology. I doubt they would pose that much of a threat to US forces.Schwarzelungen wrote:

F-22s don't die. I can't see this threat.
I think the day the west undermined Iran for asserting themselves and popularly determining the path of their own country in 1979 was the day that the 'bad guys' were created.
Magically, yes, since the bad guys are the anti-American fundamentalists who seized power.
Cameron, don't you know that anything that happened before 9/11 is ancient history...unless Clinton did it?CameronPoe wrote:

America are the bad guys.

Well hey... The more we arm Iran, the longer the fight will be between us, and that's what the military industrial complex wants, right?

Too bad F-14s need so much maintenance, Iran was only able to use F-14s as recon planes, lol.
Of course, just about everybody commenting on this thread has no idea about what they're talking about, as usual.
Not to mention the Shah, in a military coup killed half of his officers, most of them semi-skilled in piloting F-14s to consolidate his power.
As well as the fact that the phoenix radar missile system needs such maintenance that the U.S. Navy gave it up, so I doubt Iran will actually be able to do anything.

It's interesting that you mention the Shah. We supported that guy... It gives you an idea of our priorities back then.The_Mac wrote:

Well, you might want to tell Bush that, since he's been making a huge deal out of the nuclear program over the last year or so. We need to keep an eye on Iran, but we also need to back off some.The_Mac wrote:
