Sir,
Since You know this matter well I would like a conformation and an
information.
"World Air Power Journal" published in 1999. reported 35 to 40 enemy
aircraft shot
down by Iranian Tomcats, is this corect?

The number of kills (confirmed by cross-examination of Iranian, Iraqi, US
and Saudi files) is actually three times higher; between 30 and 40
additional "probable", "possible" and "claimed" kills are currently still
under investigation.

How many Iraqi aircraft were shot down by F-4's and did F-5's score any?

Approx 110 by F-4s, and between 30 and 35 by F-5s (including two Foxbats,
one of which was shot down by 20mm cannons while underway at low level).
