Disclaimer: Please Note that I use sound effects to enhance my videos for dramatic effect and hopefully give the viewer more immersion and also I use reshade for some better colors. (you can download reshade yourself and use it to make your DCS look like mine).
On this channel we like to do a lot of dogfighting most videos are some sort of dogfight between 2 different aircraft as we explore their different capabilities. From time to time I like to dabble in Virtual Reality, I think VR is a great new technology and I love to show that stuff off for the channel from time to time.
If you enjoy war thunder or Microsoft flight simulator 2020 or even dogfighting in Battlefield 2042, consider getting yourself into Digital Combat Simulator by Eagle Dynamics, the Combat side of Aviation with the BVR and Dogfights really provides a different and interesting perspective on aviation. You can fly all kinds of combat aircraft including the F-16, F-15, F-14, JF-17, Su-27, Mig-29, Mirage and the F-18 Hornet along with many other aircraft and helicopters like the Ka-50 and Mi-8.

This is the one fight I saw a lot of demand for since the new Mirage F-1 module dropped, hope you guys enjoyed the video thank you for watching.
How much time does it take you to make videos like this ?

The Iran-Iraq war and especially the air war is criminally unknown in the West. Some amazing feats of airmanship during that conflict by pilots on both sides - especially the Iranians. Kudos for brining attention to this fascinating chapter of history.
agreed, it provides some of the best air to air combat since Vietnam. I find it truly fascinating.
@@GrowlingSidewinder true, I find it generally difficult to study but learning about the air combat in the iran-iraq has been genuinely interesting for me
は
The strike on the H3 complex by Iranian pilots is honestly movie worthy, and definitely one of the most batshit insane air raids in history. Top Gun Maverick ain't got nothing on these legendary real-life pilots.
@@weir-t7y check out the work by Tom Cooper and his books, he has very interesting stuffs
If you wonder what is written on the helmet of the Iranian pilot of F14, it's a calligraphy of a poem "چو ایران نباشد تن من مباد" which means: "If Iran ceases to exist, so shall me"
“Such is the passing that you must leave,
All men must die, and it is vain to grieve.”
Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings by Ferdowsi
Least patriotic iranian
@@Camilo_Znowhere near as patriotic as americans tho. Have u seen some of the comments on those f22 posts on instagram. Crazy patriotism 😂
Excellent video... With regards to the use of Phoenix the Iranian's started using 2 Phoenix per aircraft due to weight, they lost a couple of Tomcats due to flat spins due to the weight of the aircraft. Also the fact that they found that during in dogfights they only fired up to a max of 2 missiles due to the time it took for locking up and the distances at which the engagements where started at along with the the limited rounds they had available.
This video inspired me to read more about this war. The H3 air strike details are insane. The Iranians flew some over 1,000km, refueling 4 times over the duration at only 300ft above the ground. Absolutely insane.
my dad as an iranian participated in this conflict, he wanted to be a pilot but due to allergy problems his request was declined, still he served for 2 years as an infrantyman, tough my mom never told me anything more specific (my dad never wanted to talk about it )
Respect to your dad serving his country!💪🏻

What's interesting to me about the Iranian F-14 was it was told to the public back in the 80's that since the fall of the government the Tomcats weren't used that much because of a lack of spare parts. But decades later when more was released about the Iran Contra affair, the parts needed got to Iran after all. Thus the Tomcat was used more than we were told 40 years ago.
Well to be clear...iranis also used Soviet spare parts as well lol.....plus they also scavenged most of their tomcats in order to atleast make some tomcats airworthy
@@thespatulaa Soviet spare parts for tomcats!?! really ??? hahaha what the joke!!!scavenged most of their tomcats to atleast make some tomcats airworthy!?! how many tomcats did they have to scavenged??? maybe you don't know but every fighter needs to change spare parts after some hours of flying and Iran find what they needed in black market and after they made some spare parts and because of that they manage to operate their tomcats even after 40 yeas of service!!!because United States decided to destroy all their spare parts to keep them out of Iranian's hand!!!
Not to mention that Israel also played a huge role in keeping the Iranian Air Force going. Both Iran and Israel HATED Saddam.
Lol as a French citizen when you said “French said it was more of capable to deal with F14s I hon-hon’ed and almost choked on my baguette. No way in bérets’ hell it was, France just bamboozled the Iraqi so hard I don’t know if I should laugh or cry that we sold aircraft to them
Its not like Iraqis had a choice. Their last top of the line fighter anyone else was willing to sell them was MiG-23...
Who are you fooling that you are french 🤪😝
In fairness it was probably better to have for air to air than the MiG-25
But that's not really a high bar to set
I doubt the Iraqis believed it, just looking at the F1 is enough to tell it's not going to do very well in the air superiority role. But that was the best thing they could get their hands on.
you french trolled the Brits so hard in 1982 with all the exocets lol
This was so cool! The MiM-23s were used as substitutes for the Aim-54s as they were not running out of them but because many of the phoenix missiles’ components had past their shelf lives like the thermal batteries as of course Iran was not receiving any parts or more importantly the upgrade kits to keep the missiles updated (they would later receive a number of these kits secretly during the Iran-contra affair).
The Mirage F.1EQs arrived in November 1981 and initially did very well in ambushing the F-14As using a technique called “Giraffing” which was flying at very low level then making a straight up climb to level off behind the F-14s before engaging using the powerful Mantra 530F “Super” medium range missiles which were very good weapons.
The Iranian Air Force countered this by placing their F-5E Freedom Fighters at low altitudes to cover the F-14s and catch any low flying F.1s. In all the Mirage F.1EQs shot down probably 6-8 Tomcats during the conflict but in turn maybe as many as 30 were lost to the F-14s. Truly a amazing clash between these aircraft.
I believe the recorded numbers claim only 3-4 tomcats lost max to f1s the tactic the f14s used was also just baiting them, f14s would fly 20 miles off the border and wait for the mirages to come up behind them Iranian GCI would tap 3 times on comms letting the f14 know it was being trailed as there was radio silence in effect. The f14 would do a split S and shoot a juicy Phoenix at the f1 more often than not scoring a kill.
Imagine scrambling alone facing maybe multiple bandit
Those guys are brave af, hats off to them
"Sneak up on anything, you can kill it, technically."
Me, who remembers GS sneaking up on an F22 in a P51:
I was a Hawk missile crewman in the Marines back in the '80s. It's funny to see Hawk missiles hanging off the wings of a Tomcat. Those are big missiles, and it puts the size of the Tomcat into perspective for me.
Totally random thought due to the “Iranian Jester” remark:
I now want a Samir companion RIO/WSO for an Indian Su-30MKI.
“Triple caution! Triple caution!”
"Listen to me Samir!"
Samir, you're breaking the jet.
You are recently cover the Iran-Iraq air combats more and that's really awsome. Because the air battles of this war is mostly forgotten. If you search enough and especially watch interviews and documentaries about the Iranian pilots you will find even more interesting battles that has never been said anywhere before.
Great job covering this untold war and wish you luck from Iran❤
The mirage is gonna show us how to hold a phoenix with your face got me😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I'm dyingg
So is that Mirage.
...and as usual GS presents us these jokes with the calmest voice.
Same.
One thing that upsets me is how the revolution didn't allow iran's air force to receive their F-16s. They would absolutely dominate iraqi air force alongside the tomcats. .
Iran’s Air Force is so fascinating to me. They’ve never been incredibly strong, but their achievements with the F14A and the upgrades they’re doing to both it and the Phoenix missile is impressive. I’d love to see an Iranian pilot face off against a higher tier flanker in BVR.
This reminds me, Is there a place to request for future video ideas? Id love to see a BVR fight between the Su-57 and the F35, it’s the most likely fight to occur between 5th Gen aircraft as the border nations of Russia own the latter.
Let's be real, the only thing impressive about Iran is the current regime standing up to US/Israel. Buying elite machines from ''Western'' designers isn't impressive. Just as the Iraqis buying form the Soviets or the French isn't impressive. Iran was just another population controlled by the US with military tech rewards for a time, like so many others. Unless a population is capable of actually creating elite aircraft by itself, it is never going to be a first class air force.
Their ingenuity was only surpassed by their tenacity.
I really wished they didn't have designs on running the Middle east.
@@peterweller8583 you mean like the US still do?
@@AKAtheA maybe we can keep the politics out of here.
@@AKAtheA Yes, just like the US is doing. All nations have the right to self-determination and the right to refuse to be bullied by other countries.
many thanks for the video
back in 70's, I grew up in shiraz airbase and watched the tomcats fly in the sky everyday.
I'm digging the 60s-80s Era aircraft that developers are releasing can't wait for the F4E!
Sooo...if an Iranian pilots ejects, does he return to base on the flying carpet ?
That's classified

I really enjoy these historical engagements.
I think we need to see more of Jamshid

Farsi with subtitles would be his optimal form.
"That Mirage is gonna correctly show us how to hold a missile with his face!" Nearly spit out my coffee 🤣 Great video as always!
Well done Growling! One of your best vids... Love it. Keep rocking that Tomcat bud!
Just the ingenuity of putting those hawks on the plane. It seems insane, but it's brilliant...
Makes me remember the story of a single Iranian Phoenix missile downing three Mig-23s!
Request 6: GS in the F/A-18C vs a buddy in the Mustang or Spitfire!
Excellent video as always and with historical perspective . Btw, has anyone experienced unlimited fuel not working for the F1 when unlimited fuel is selected in the mission?
It's sad we never got the Super Tomcat...
Mirage has a sinister, crow-like look to it that's just badass. F14 on the other hand is a work of art.
How timely. I was just watching some video on the operations room channel about this war. Love the content man, keep it up
Cold war air combat was interesting. These conflicts of the 80s like the Iran-Iraq War and the Falklands Conflict really should be more analyzed.
Cool historical matchup. I learned from reading wiki that an Iraqi Mirage F1 launched the only successful anti-ship missile attack against a US Navy ship, the USS Start in 1987.
correct, and killed 37 americans and wounded like 40 I think. Tried to blame Iran for the incident, which america did not buy they then apologized I believe.
That was not a Mirage F-1 that fired the Exocet Anti-Ship Missiles against USS Stark. It was a Falcon 50 that had been modified with the radar and nose cone of the Mirage F-1 and was originally intended to be used as a training aircraft for Iraqi Pilots.
@@GrowlingSidewinder hey check up your facts it was not a mirage and the Iraqis admitted it was a mistake from the beginning
Nice video, wish I had DCS to play the Mirage
Well, it's free, but you need to have a good computer to run it !
Heck yeah another Tomcat vid.
I'm really happy to see these videos getting closer and closer to reality.
Details like considering that Iranians were short on phoenix missiles are making a huge difference.
For just pennies a day, you can help a Phoenix missile find a home inside its very own Iraqi
damn XDDDDDDDD
- Slogan of the Iran-Contra Affair
Thanks for simulating the tomcat, just learned her weapon systems today XD very interesting dogfight indeed
“You can sneak up on anything you can kill it technically” Maverick proved this in the last movie
thats why a MIG-21 is still dangerous.. if its carrying modern R-73s and it sneaks on you cause it went in fast at low level it will ruin the day of whoever was there not very aware.. The chance is remote but renember the Iraquis managed to sneak and kill a Hornet with a MIG-25 in a suposedly well controled and secure space with multiple SA assets
top gun is not something to look at if you want realism
I didn’t know the F-14 was such a badass. Hearing you talk about it and doing my own research. Very interesting.
"That mirage is going to show us how to correctly hold a phoenix missile with your face." I found that so much funnier than I probably should've.🤣😂🤣 Can't breathe, Quality content. Keep up the good work.
wanna know about iranians pilots talent?? read H3 mission ! biggest airforce mission in the world by F4.
When doing such scenarios, do you always retry until you succeed (for a fun video) or are you just that good that it's one try only?
I do mostly the first try unless something stupid happens like I hit the ground, or lag ruins something, or something very anticlimactic that would ruin the video. But generally speaking its a single run thru and whatever happens happens. That way I don't introduce any bias into it and it doesn't get repetitive with me winning all the time that kind of thing.
Thanks sir for remaking the history 😌
The Iranian rio should be Mahmoud, its more persian, and my grandpa Mahmoud was involved in Irans purchasing of the f-14, so it makes sense.
Fantastic video. Your flying is truly inspiring. Makes me wish to be able to fly the F-14 in DCS as well
And while I know it would be unlikely, it would be cool to get a Persian speaking Iranian Jester/Jamshid to give even more immersion to the Iranian cats
well since heatblur makes perfections maybe they actually do it ... just maybe tho :*)
@@maybesherlock734 well, I'd be more than happy but considering how things feel like, I feel it'd be hard for them to find a good reference and source on what to say and how to speak. Besides it can make it hard for players to understand what he's saying
@@charlienash1050 indeed you are right ... but since they just had to remove the tcs and change rwr that would be a very good thing to consider too .. and i've heard an iranian dcs community group is in touch with HB soooo im hoping for the best
@@maybesherlock734 then I hope it comes sooner than later. It'd be fantastic to see our Tomcats be even more immersive
I'm here for the Mirage F1 content. Love
Based Persians blasting Arabs out of the sky.
Lmao better jets?
Great vid as always, it would be great to see you piloting one of those F1C's against a Mig 23 as another 80's matchup. Maybe 2 vs 2.
It'll be great when the MiG 23 gets early accessed.
And as the RIO.... its not Jester... but Jester Iranian Cousin!
RIO: بیرون راندن!!!
(and yes you readed this in your mind in Jeremy Clarkson voice)
I really enjoy these history based fights. I would like to see some of the Israeli fights over the years.
Should do Irani f4 phantoms against the f1 and mig 21.
2 vs 4
Jamshid, your Iranian RIO, is pretty good at English
well, they were trained by the americans so I guess that kind of makes sense lol
Always happy to see anything even vaguely French go down.
I'm from Iran .Most of the jet pilots were trained before the Iranian revolution in Shah Priod.
Going into the video asking myself how exactly is a Mirage F1 a match to the Tomcat
As an iraqi who wasn't born when the war was happening, I can say this is pretty accurate.
can you pls do a player vs player fight in the mig21bis vs mirage f1 in a guns only fight u can use missiles if u want , i really want to know which is the better fighter cus in theory the mig21 is a better fighter has all the advantages (aoa,twr,climb rate,accleration) , the only disadvantage is that its a delta wing , the f1 performs worse in everyway (in the stuff thats mentioned above) but the only advantage is that it may have a better airframe and we cant really know how big of a role it plays unless u test it.
Hurts my soul seeing IRIAF instead of IIAF and that ugly flag over our real one on this beauty...💔
iran literally finished iraq in H-3
Nice! Now try it, but with you in the F1!
Wow...I always thought the Hawk missile systems was SA only. I went to Redstone Arsenal once I finished basic training. They've many missile battery maintenance schools there and remember now that I had friends and acquaintances that were instructed in Hawk missile systems repair. When I saw them, they were always mounted on towed chassis, but we had mobile chassis with Sidewinders, and I knew that planes could carry AIM-9s, so I should've realized that Hawk (or I-HAWK) could be used on airborne platforms too.
Years later (1992-1993), I wondered why the US Army stopped using that system. I initially thought it was because Kuwait had them when they were invaded by Iraq, but I think it was because it was replaced by the Patriot system, and because the Hawk was a relatively old missile system (1950s technology) and was probably due to be replaced anyways.
It was something only the Iranians did and as he stated here it was because they were running low on Phoenix missiles.
What are the figures Jamsheed is giving when engaged with bandit 3 and after splash?
What a Beauty its the f14 whit iranian camo paint
Not just another cool video, but I loved the history lesson about the Iran-Iraq air war. A lot of things you mentioned I had no idea about. Especially scrambling a lone ship to face multiple bandits. Balls of steel!
Awesome video
I know watch u thinking .... that flag on that f5 tail in the beginning is so wrong colored ;) .... but c130 has it right ! weird
Iranian f14 color is so beautiful
F4 phantom vs f1 mirage
Love the Iran-Iraq war videos !
Looks like the French oversold the merits of their aircraft somewhat. The Iraqis ended up out of pocket and out of pilots.
great video as always, but what's up with the screen shaking in the first parts of the video during the tomcat take off?
its a camera effect from the SIM
Reverse this let's see you in a mirage. :)
Vary enjoyable. Great tactics.
Thanks
Jalil zandi vibes
Okay, this is probably a dumb question... BUT! What is that track playing when the Tomcat scrambles? I've heard it in so many of your videos and I'm either deaf or inept and can't find it. Is it on the DCS soundtrack or something else?
I have a book called Iranian F-14 Tomcat Units in Combat. There was on Iranian F-14A Tomcat pilot named Qiyassi who shot down 3 Dassault Mirage F.1EQs
"If you can sneak up on it..." Cue F-22 in the mirrors.
Say Growling, why don't you use the seam lock for the Fox-2s in the F-14?
Really enjoyed this! Love the mix of long range and short range in the same sortie, super super cool
Jamsheed the RPG god
Mirage F1 looks like an F5 and Mig 27 had a kid
Personally, I think you should have used R2D2 as your backseater in this video...
"When you open RUclips and the first video on your feed is a new GS video posted within the hour, is the best feeling ever"!!! As always GS,another amazingly edited and performance of a video. Just when you think it cant get any better, you just keep throwing us the W !!!! You are still and always will be,the best and my favorite Toober and Naval Aviator there is! Thanks for always making all us adicts these amazing videos, I just cant get ENOUGH!!!
Love the Tomcat. Never a bad video with the Cats.
I hope well get the Super 530F on the Mirage F1, for that sweet sweet historical accuracy.
I wonder how long they'll be able to keep the Persian Cat or will they use it in Russian - Ukraine war since Russia went to Iran for the drones
Great job by you again thanks for all the great videos you made in all this year's
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
زنده باد ایران♥️♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹
It's so weird to see an F-14 operating not around a carrier.
Clearly you guys love Iranian F14s more than anything else. For your next video why not F14s ambushing Israeli F16s that are carpet bombing Gaza city?
"That Mirage is going to show us how to correctly hold a Phoenix- with your face." - Lost it completely. Fark that was funny.
the first gun kill from an F-14 was by an iranian pilot, too.
That’s right, was on an Iraqi mi24 hind I believe
Thanks GS for another BVR to merge video!
Ok interesting fact: there is a IRIAF F-14 RIO named Lt. General Jamshid Afshar! They got the naming right!
Is phoenix missiles powerful than the f18 missiles amraam? People keep saying phoenix this and that like its a superpower of the f14.
I studied in a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) program and one of our professors told us about how there were many Iranian students here in the 70's when we were still friendly. And of course they had a lot of oil money, so the students who made it here were driving Firebird's and wearing gold medallions... lol Good times. A lot like the Chinese driving Ferrari's around our campus now.
And now there are gigantic disaporas in the US.
Can you make Jalil Zandi fight please with 11 of Iraqi planes.
Would love to see a very long range bvr (like 200+nm) engagement between the F-14 and F-15.
I loved your Cat vs Foxhound vid and wonder how the Cat would fare against the Eagle.
In the Eagle you would be defending Phoenixes for a while before you get the chance of firing back an AMRAAM-C
@Growling Sidewinder
Where do you get the scramble alarm sound effect?
Thx
or anyone for that matter
Crazy to think the F1 is one of the few planes to shoot down an F14
