When F-14 Tomcats Scared The Iraqi MiGs That They Ran Away Without Fight In 1991 #shorts

On January 17, 1991, four F-14 Tomcats were launched from aircraft carriers to hit an ADOC. At least 12 Iraqi interceptors were flying in four groups of "bogeys," according to an E-2, but they weren't declared enemies. The F-14 Tomcats spotted the four MiG-29s that were closest to them as the Navy formation crossed the border. It was evident from the manner in which the Iraqis flew their paths that they were skilled at diverting F-14s and preventing them from firing Phoenix missiles. Although he and his formation captured the Iraqi jets with their radar, the formation leader took no chances. The Iraqis responded quickly, and one division moved southwest, while the others went northeast. To be safe, the formation leader separated his division and sent two Tomcats after the four MiGs. However, they never came face-to-face with the Tomcats, and the F-14s won the aerial war without ever launching a missile. The strike was successful, and all of the engaged aircraft went home after the Iraqi interceptors ran away. They could have achieved up to 12 aerial victories on that day, but some issues prevented them.

The Iran-Iraq war left a significant impact on their morale that they got infected with f-14ophobia

[paoloviti]

I always considered the F-14 a magnificent airplane with top rated pilots 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

It was a sad day the day they retired the Tomcat,
Just looking at one comin' at ya.... is chilling.

[thegreyhound]

I'm pretty sure I read some where that Iran used their F-14's as early warning aircraft

[shotgun]

Love that for one clip he used the Tornado, its pretty much the European strike tomcat

[pbehmand]

You have to thank Iranians pilots for that. They left such a huge foot mark no Iragi would even try to be stupid. Record speaks very clear about Iranian pilots.

Iran did this so many times and they are never mentioned its soo unfair
They proved this thing is LETHAL and also i feel like thier performance in iran iraq war with little to no replacement parts prove these jets were so good retiring them was a mistake

[WldSmle]

Iraqi wing commander cared about his men.

[carlosoliveira]

F-14 was created for war and that is scary, meanwile the mig-29 where made for airshows so of course the pilots ranway.❤❤ 😊💪💪💪

[cecilhaas]

It's still called a big yellow streak that ran down their backs. Nobody messes with our fly

[BobDog]

I always felt that the F14 never reached its full potential. They scraped her way before it's time.

[cecilwinthorp]

Peace cost nothing, not even human lives.

[erickgranados]

I always love the tomcats..but after it was retired..i had to go with the super hornets..love both united state jets..love them both..👍👍👍👍👍

[عطرالقداح-رض]

yeah ... some "issues" prevented their 12-hits victory, that day .. LOL

[maalik]

The highest number of shot-down pilots since the second world war was actually the Dessert Storm. Give credit to Iraqi pilots 🧑‍✈️

[Snake_bite]

Why u use a tornado clip for a few sec? Just askin btw

[maalik]

Not true, Iraqi pilots have gained the respect of Allied pilots. Because Iraqi pilots were very brave in defending their country against all odds.❤❤❤❤❤
