Default Iranian F-14 Units in Combat

True, and I don't think that anyone would doubt the effectiveness of an
AIM-54 equipped Tomcat-B vs. an F-15A/C (excluding AMRAAMs). Personally, I
think that the F-15 is the best proven fighter out there. The one with the
most potential that was never fully used would be the F-14 IMO (not
including the -22). Now if Tom's book is true, the Tomcat has a very
impressive kill ratio under far more difficult circumstances than either
USAF, IAF, or RSAF F-15s. Not too often did USAF/IAF -15s go into the air
without working radars!


Anybody want to predict the outcome of Iranian F-14s (in current state
of maintenance) vs USAF F-15s, F-16s, or F-22s with AWACS support?
