For decades, the Soviet Union believed its "Regatta" saturation strike, a massive cloud of bombers and missiles, was unstoppable. Then, the F-14 Tomcat arrived.

This long-form documentary explores the revolutionary leap in technology that shocked Soviet pilots and checkmated their entire naval strategy. Discover the story of the AN/AWG-9 radar and the AIM-54 Phoenix missile—a system so advanced it could track 24 targets and simultaneously guide six missiles, earning it the terrifying nickname "The Phoenix Six."

We dive into declassified reports and pilot accounts to show how this one aircraft rendered the Tu-16 'Badger' obsolete and exposed the fatal flaw in their "Tomcat Killer," the MiG-25 'Foxbat'. This is the story of the technological gap—from vacuum tubes to microchips—that helped decide the Cold War.
