Interesting museum artefacts!
impressive feat of maintenance, but when is Iran going to get some new jets? Come on Russia and China! How do the US, UK, etc, get away with selling to all and sundry, whilst managing to engineer sanctions on others?
People who like to poke fun at IRIAF simply because their aircraft "looks old" clearly have no clue or technical knowledge on the subject..Many of America's ariforce fighter crafts were built in the 60s, 70s...Does that make them any less/more useful in winning wars?
I'd advice such people to go do a bit of research before coming here to spew their nonsense!
Is it possible to upgrade F 14 engines to vector thrust engine. Does Iran posses such know how.
That's a good point but, I wouldn't count on it. That would require making an effort and for those people, it's a lot easier just to shoot their mouth off.
