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.
took out in 2020 by the way and they started tracking him in 2007 it s a big deal with that nuclear program, so that s definitely within israel s optics but there s also another piece that i am hearing from one of my friends in israel which is the airport houses the eighth tactical air wing for the iranian air force and there are several squadrons of f-14 s that are stationed there so i think that israel may be laying the groundwork for something bigger they may want to close the traps so that if they continue to pursue more layers they will keep planes from being able to get off the ground and they will keep that air force suppressed so they can progress. and you think that before iran has any kind of a chance to retaliate that israel may strike again in some capacity? i think that we will see more of this i don t think this will be a one shot pony i think they are laying down some foundation work to really start digging in and doing some big work at the
major military base ironically where old f-14 s fly out of the puritan also components, nuclear processing facilities near there so israel appears to have chosen proportionate military targets. and they have sent the message to iran, don t mess with israel. todd: help us with more than a chest match. it is consequential to mention if each of these parties wanted to really inflict damage on the other, they would have done something different i ll be at israel did a great job over the weekend of shooting down a ransom of missiles and the like. let s face it if israel wanted to light up iran, it would be a lot more than last night so your thoughts on the chess match between the two sides. yes, that is right but the strikes took place overnight so when nighttime strike is designed to minimize any

The iconic 1986 film Top Gun not only boosted Tom Cruise's career but also revitalized the image of the U.S. military, especially the Navy. Its primary antagonist, the fictional Soviet MiG-28, portrayed as a cutting-edge enemy aircraft, was actually an American-made Northrop F-5
