F 14d News Today

The F-14 Tomcat, developed in response to the U.S. Navy's need for a long-range interceptor in the 1960s, was a technological marvel designed to counter the threat of Soviet bombers and missiles.

The F-14D “Super Tomcat” was the final variant introduced by Grumman in the late 1980’s. Similar to its predecessors, the most modern Tomcat featured F110-GE-400 engines. Additionally, the Super Tomcat was fitted with the Airborne Self Protection Jammer, the AN/APG-71 radar, Joint Tactical Information Distribution System and other enhancements.
