Day 2 of the Iran-Israel war 2025 and Tom Cooper has written a neat blog post on Iranian F-14s. Of the 79 Tomcats originally delivered, there were still some 60-odd in service during the 1980s and this figure had gradually declined to around barely one dozen still flying operationally in 2025. Two machines were last seen 'in action' during a US drone incursion during March 2025 and now, following Israeli strikes, there are 'rumours' that more F-14s have been destroyed...Tom's 'substack' blog is here
