Iran’s Secret F-14 Fleet ✈️ The Desert Tomcats That Refuse to Die
When the U.S. sold the advanced F-14 Tomcat to Iran in the 1970s, no one imagined that this elite jet — made famous by Top Gun — would one day fly under the flag of a country cut off from Western support.

After the 1979 Iranian Revolution, sanctions hit hard. Iran was left with a fleet of F-14s but no access to parts, upgrades, or even official manuals. Yet somehow, these “Phantom Hunters” stayed in the sky — not for years, but for decades.

This documentary dives deep into how Iranian engineers reverse-engineered parts, smuggled components through the black market, and even allegedly cannibalized their own fleet to keep the jets flying. We explore rare combat footage, intelligence reports, and firsthand accounts from pilots who flew the F-14 during the Iran-Iraq War.

But the story doesn’t end there. Today, the F-14 still roars across Iranian skies, often appearing in military parades and exercises. How did Iran defy the odds and extend the lifespan of the Tomcat far beyond what anyone believed possible?

From the Persian Gulf to underground bunkers, this is the untold saga of the world’s most unlikely F-14 operators.
