- Note 1: on 7 January 1981 the F-14A in question fired a single AIM-54A against four MiG-23BNs flying in a tight formation. The missile is confirmed as having hit the leading MiG, blotting it out of the skies, and causing sufficient damage for other two to crash seconds later. The fourth MiG apparently came away. For more details see: "Iran-Iraq War in the Air, 1980-1988", by Tom Cooper & Farzad Bishop, Schiffer Military Publishing, 2002: http://www.schifferbooks.com/military/aviationjetage/0764316699.html

In the hands of highly-experienced Iranian pilots, the F-14A proved the ultimate "MiG-Killer" during the long war against Iraq, eventually scoring over 160 confirmed and probable air-to-air kills - including over 30 against such vaunted opponents like Mirage F.1EQ and MiG-25s. Beside being used as a prototype of the Iranian "Bombcat" project and also during the testing of MIM-23 I-HAWK installation on F-14, the example depicted above, 3-6020, is known to have been used for scoring at least six kills against Iraqi fighters and helicopters during the war, and to have been the Tomcat from which the first AIM-54A against an Iraqi MiG-25RB was fired, in May 1981 (the missile damaged the target, but the Iraqi pilot managed a safe landing).
