My father was an engineer who worked on the AIM 54 phoenix project. 30 years @ Hughes Aircraft in Tucson AZ.
He told me that Our people in Iran removed a vital part on all the AIM 54s before we left the country, thereby disabling the Aim 54s and that no Aim 54 Phoenix missile had ever been fired in combat by the United States or any other country.
my father served in the navy during this he was in this area at the time he got out becuase of how dangerous his job was. my mother was also in at this time but on maternity leave
@ZVERCO666 Fitters are attack planes that could pose a threat to the battle group. Either way, they were enemy aircraft getting far too close to an American carrier. The shootdown was justified.
Germany still is fighting for world Control.It failed twice openly waging war but never gave up the idea.Today it is using snitchers to infiltrate foreign countries and manipulate their population and their government.Preferably against each other.And they infiltrate the economy of other states.They are using brainwashing and steering techniques abroad to get rid of people not being pro german.As somebody said:We dont have nukes,we have to do this.Thumbs up if you want the BND to stop torturing
My brother in law helped write up the attack bombing Gaddafi's compound and was in charge of the Eastern Fleet back then. F-14's used in both attacks, and a great job.
Audio clips from this transmission were used in Falcon 3.0 intro (watch?v=S3XMm4vwjzI) and one the menu themes in Falcon 4.0. (watch?v=upQoiBl2hvc). :D
The Soviets were so obsessed with quantity over quality that they started making aircraft which they thought might be good submarines as well. Submarines don't work very well with gaping holes in them.
@qiovanni And bear in mind that Iran never had more than 40 airworthy (usually less than 25) F-14 at any given time, often with many onboard systems non-operational, so the 15:1 kill ratio was even more remarkable. Iranian pilots, trained in the US, were world-class,. Yet they're distrusted by their own bigoted religious government. Not surprising, given that pilots tend to be highly educated, which make them hard to convert to religious fanaticism.

And those explosions are powerful and can reach civilians too. Give me proof where we dropped a bomb on a civilian neighborhood.
The comment that "What I find fascinating about this engagement is that it's probably the closest thing to a "fair fight" that one could conceive:" is no way a fair fight. The US has the best trained fighter piolts on the planet. The Libyans were dead men flying.
@Stealth42o I don't usually say this, but I must agree with USA stance here, those were international waters, be it 10000 or 1000000 miles, it's still international waters.
@MrJemelia Flying in Internationale airspace flying cover for the Air Craft Carrier when the Libyan's provoked the the F-14. Gaddafi sent the Libyan jets to Gulf of Sidra to shoot down the F-14....but that didn't happen. "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight"

@MrJemelia They were shooting down Khadaffyduck's M-23 Flogger Jets when they engaged the United States Navy F-14's FIVE (5) Times. The moronic Libyans deserved to be shot down.
@MrJemelia They were defending United States cargo ships, since Gaddafi claimed that international waters belonged to HIM and that he would attack any U.S. ships in the area. Apparently, you think we should have allowed him to attack U.S. ships. Thankfully, the rest of the country disagreed. I take it you haven't studied this conflict at all before opening your mouth. Typical.
@rtrThanos Well actually they were protecting the Naval battlegroup. We've got cargo/ commercial ships everywhere. This was all kind of a lesson to put Gaddafi in his place; more of a political statement then anything . To say he was a real threat is like saying "WMD's" were the cause of 9/11. We've been slapping down there punks for years , and will continue to in the future. What do u think our tax money goes to anyway?
@MrJemelia They weren't 10000 miles from their country.. They were less than 100 miles from sovereign US soil... know as an Aircraft Carrier.. which IS US soil!
true not only on this occasion in 1989 but on other occasions as well in 1981 2 Libyan Su-20s engaged F-14s and lost and in the Libyan Egyptian war Libya lost 20+ aircraft to only three to Egypt. one Libyan MiG-23MF was shot by a MiG-21MF if they new any thing abut dogfighting they wouldn't have any problem.
@world504 F@@@ Libyans Tried to engage a CAP, had multiple possibilitys to disengage, and ultimately ate a Sparrow and a Sidewinder for their efforts
@eatthisvr6 They were not picked up, The E-2C Hawkeye ( Closeout ) confirmed that no efforts were made by Libya to pick the guys out the drink. They drowned.
@TreAldMatVideo How old are you? This wasnt a game, it was war. Developing the best technology and knowing how to use it is called preserving national security.
@TreAldMatVideo Long Range? How about a medium range sparrow ("Fox 1" and "Fox 1 again") and a short range heat seaking Sidewider (that whole conversation about "fire" and "I don't have a Tone on the F'er") And if you listen, they where the ones trying to keep a missile acquisition on the Tomcats. There wa no cheating, Just stupidity of trying to sneek up on Tomcats (Even when the Tomcats had a lock-on before the MiGs even came Feet Wet)
and fighting terrosim. that is make me disaponted of USA. it is sham mate. take of your hands of people. let people live in peace, then they will you too.
You think those people were living in peace before the US showed up? You think the Taliban appeared overnight, like we made it up? There's some oppressive stuff going on over there. Honestly, I didn't care that they were killing each other, and throwing acid in women's faces if she didn't agree to marry the man she was being forced to marry. Not our problem.
We let people live in peace as long as they don't send people over here to blow up Americans.
@MrAussiman Libya Peaceful? if they were so peaceful why did they fly out 100 miles out to sea to attack the U.S. Navy? if you listened to the audio the Tomcat pilots gave them six chances to turn back. if they weren't trying to shoot the Toms they would'nt have been shot down. plus they send terrorists out to blow up airliners. how can that be considered peaceful?
@kdraper2007 . Well, here is the point my friend. Imagen Libyan Navy comes close to American border not just 100 miles but even 500 miles. so what do you think U.S wuld do? and you are saying Libya sends terrorists out to blow, let's say that was true as your point f view. what do you call 100s of thousands of solidurs who attacking several countries around the world in the name of democracy
Yes, Libya sends terrorists out to blow. All terrorists blow.
The Libyan navy would never come near US borders to defend Libya shipping, because US would never threaten to attack Libyan shipping. It's stupid to even imagine.
If they could clean their own house, we wouldn't do it for them. Personally, I could care less if all the Iraqis and Afghans killed each other, throw acid in women's faces. But they need to control their terrorists, or we'll just blow everything up.
@rtrThanos. well, that's what Americans seem to anybody talk to.you r really brainwashed by US mass media. instead of presenting misinformation about Muslim life and mixing different issues together, give definition to terrorism first and then look at the reason why simple people travel a long distance to blow ur country up. this is if you are real American but i doubt, it seems to me that u r from Israeli people who's been fed hate in milk since was a kid.
@MrAussiman Libyians peaceful with Gaddafi running the show? Oh yeah, it's a regular fool's paradise(??). He's using his military to kill hundreds of his people. Don't you get the news down under?
Hey I play this! LOMAC! Thought it looked familiar :D VERY good job editing, and the video quality is excellent. That's something I like to do in LOMAC; re-enact real aerial engagements. Thanks for this!
@terrysky83 The volume for the IR seeker was turned down, thats why there was no tone at first. Until they have realised it was turned down, they adjusted it back again and the tone was just there blaring like a mad dog. FOX 2!
Here's my thing. How would the United States react if a Libyian carrier were operating off the Atlantic coast and had launched fighters to patrol even remotely near the internationally recognized territorial waters and air space, or, as a reverse situation, remotely near the extended claims of territorial waters and air space? Would the US just let them patrol, or would they launch and try to protect that space?
@brianwesley28 International waters? Same thing we always did, observe the other, not lock on, and head at them.
Obviously, your missing some of the points. They take off, head to fighters in international waters. Those fighters give them plenty of time to turn away from the group, and changed course to confirm their intention.
Hostile fighters get shot down, simple as that.
The US has responded to numerious incidents like you described in the pacific. USSR Bears wandered close all the time
@brianwesley28 International recognition for national boundries is 3 miles. the old Soviet union considered 12 miles to be soviet waters & airspace. the U.S. Navy was 100 miles out. as for your question about how the U.S. would react if the situation was reversed, just remember during the cold war Soviet Bear recon bombers would fly within 12 miles of the U.S. east coast quite often. the U.S. response, Interception & escort of the aircraft. same as the British, & norwegian airforces did.
@brianwesley28 The US would probably ask Libya why on Earth they have a military force off our border, but I doubt there would be any military action taken until they made an overt threat (beyond being that close to our border. Remember, there is a big difference between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Anywhere in the Med you are surrounded by dozens of nations. Off the coast of the US you are close to only one.
@brianwesley28 We would've destroyed them for being in our waters. We weren't in their waters, we were in what was widely considered to be intl. waters. Now, you can go fuck yourself.
I don't understand why the F-14s fired on the 23s with no provocation apart from being intercepted. Being so near the Libyan coast, would it not be considered a reasonable act for them to have a look at who is provoking their defences?
F-14s were 70 miles off the coast thats not near by any means. The Migs kept turning into the F-14s that's known as a hostile manuver. The Lybian Gov said it would shoot down any aricraft in international air space in the Gulf of Sidra. There is lots more info on the net to show you that this was self defence by the U.S. fighters.
No, really. I am interested as there are encounters between US and Chinese fighters all the time. How do they get close to each other without firing? But anyway, you are the dumbest kind of idiot. You should study the word democracy. Heaps of your troops are (supposedly) dying for it. It means people are allowed to have different ideas. You are a reactionary wanker. You'd make an excellent brainwashed North Korean. p.s Stop thinking about cocks all day!
If Libya had a carrier just off the coast of the US, I can imagine US fighters would do exactly the same thing. Russian TU-95 bears were always escorted up and down the US east coast by the ANG. If the Bear fired on the approaching fighter with BVR missles, would that not be the same thing as what ?
sorry - as what happened here. p.s Not trying to start an anti US fight, just wondering what constitutes an attack without weapons being discharged. If these were submarines, would it still be considered reasonable to fire?
MiG-25 Foxbat's should have been deployed to take out the AWAC's,leaving the Americans blind.Then the MiG-23's would have had a more even match.AA-7's are alright,but American BVRM's are much better.
@fixdeluxe1@fixdeluxe1 No chance dude; even without AWACS support (in this case an E-2 Hawkeye) the Tomcat would still tear the MiG's a new hole. The Tomcat's AWG-9 radar can spot anything from 50ft-80,000 ft. If the radar can track 24 bogeys and launch at 6 of them, then there better be a lot of MiG's.
actually by that time a new MiG-23 version entered service, MiG-23MLD which is a better version than the one used by Libyans, it had better avionics and systems.
the Libyans had MiG-23MS/ML's which weren't a match for the F-14s, maybe F-4s and kfirs would be a suitable match for them.
the ML however would be dangerous foe to the F-14 if the pilot was well trained and skilled.
@kingneptune117 You will hear the pilots say "Taking another offset" which mans there turning away from the migs, then the migs plot another intercept course back and forth till they hit 20 miles then the Tomcats engaged.
Looks like the floggers got, well,,,,,flogged:-)

Iran Lost 14 F14, but only 3 were shot down by iraqi plane, 1 was shot down by iran AA, 10 was destroyed by mail function (bad maintenance ) .
To day iran have 60 F14 in their fleet, updated radar, missile...
I think US retire to soon their tomcats, excellent plane, better then SH, with powerful radar...

@MrJemelia seriously? It's called Naval Aviation.
jamesdewer 11 months ago
@MrJemelia They were defending United States cargo ships, since Gaddafi claimed that international waters belonged to HIM and that he would attack any U.S. ships in the area. Apparently, you think we should have allowed him to attack U.S. ships. Thankfully, the rest of the country disagreed. I take it you haven't studied this conflict at all before opening your mouth. Typical.
rtrThanos 11 months ago
@rtrThanos Well actually they were protecting the Naval battlegroup. We've got cargo/ commercial ships everywhere. This was all kind of a lesson to put Gaddafi in his place; more of a political statement then anything . To say he was a real threat is like saying "WMD's" were the cause of 9/11. We've been slapping down there punks for years , and will continue to in the future. What do u think our tax money goes to anyway?

@MrAussiman Libya Peaceful? if they were so peaceful why did they fly out 100 miles out to sea to attack the U.S. Navy? if you listened to the audio the Tomcat pilots gave them six chances to turn back. if they weren't trying to shoot the Toms they would'nt have been shot down. plus they send terrorists out to blow up airliners. how can that be considered peaceful?
kdraper2007 1 year ago
@kdraper2007 . Well, here is the point my friend. Imagen Libyan Navy comes close to American border not just 100 miles but even 500 miles. so what do you think U.S wuld do? and you are saying Libya sends terrorists out to blow, let's say that was true as your point f view. what do you call 100s of thousands of solidurs who attacking several countries around the world in the name of democracy
MrAussiman 1 year ago
@MrAussiman
Yes, Libya sends terrorists out to blow. All terrorists blow.
The Libyan navy would never come near US borders to defend Libya shipping, because US would never threaten to attack Libyan shipping. It's stupid to even imagine.
If they could clean their own house, we wouldn't do it for them. Personally, I could care less if all the Iraqis and Afghans killed each other, throw acid in women's faces. But they need to control their terrorists, or we'll just blow everything up.

@rtrThanos. well, that's what Americans seem to anybody talk to.you r really brainwashed by US mass media. instead of presenting misinformation about Muslim life and mixing different issues together, give definition to terrorism first and then look at the reason why simple people travel a long distance to blow ur country up. this is if you are real American but i doubt, it seems to me that u r from Israeli people who's been fed hate in milk since was a kid.

Here's my thing. How would the United States react if a Libyian carrier were operating off the Atlantic coast and had launched fighters to patrol even remotely near the internationally recognized territorial waters and air space, or, as a reverse situation, remotely near the extended claims of territorial waters and air space? Would the US just let them patrol, or would they launch and try to protect that space?
brianwesley28 1 year ago
@brianwesley28 International waters? Same thing we always did, observe the other, not lock on, and head at them.
Obviously, your missing some of the points. They take off, head to fighters in international waters. Those fighters give them plenty of time to turn away from the group, and changed course to confirm their intention.
Hostile fighters get shot down, simple as that.
The US has responded to numerious incidents like you described in the pacific. USSR Bears wandered close all the time

@brianwesley28 International recognition for national boundries is 3 miles. the old Soviet union considered 12 miles to be soviet waters & airspace. the U.S. Navy was 100 miles out. as for your question about how the U.S. would react if the situation was reversed, just remember during the cold war Soviet Bear recon bombers would fly within 12 miles of the U.S. east coast quite often. the U.S. response, Interception & escort of the aircraft. same as the British, & norwegian airforces did.
kdraper2007 1 year ago
@brianwesley28 The US would probably ask Libya why on Earth they have a military force off our border, but I doubt there would be any military action taken until they made an overt threat (beyond being that close to our border. Remember, there is a big difference between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Anywhere in the Med you are surrounded by dozens of nations. Off the coast of the US you are close to only one.

I don't understand why the F-14s fired on the 23s with no provocation apart from being intercepted. Being so near the Libyan coast, would it not be considered a reasonable act for them to have a look at who is provoking their defences?
philmonster 2 years ago
F-14s were 70 miles off the coast thats not near by any means. The Migs kept turning into the F-14s that's known as a hostile manuver. The Lybian Gov said it would shoot down any aricraft in international air space in the Gulf of Sidra. There is lots more info on the net to show you that this was self defence by the U.S. fighters.

leonidas512 2 years ago
If Libya had a carrier just off the coast of the US, I can imagine US fighters would do exactly the same thing. Russian TU-95 bears were always escorted up and down the US east coast by the ANG. If the Bear fired on the approaching fighter with BVR missles, would that not be the same thing as what ?
philmonster 2 years ago
sorry - as what happened here. p.s Not trying to start an anti US fight, just wondering what constitutes an attack without weapons being discharged. If these were submarines, would it still be considered reasonable to fire?
philmonster 2 years ago
In Air to Air warfare it is pretty obvious if your intent is too be hostile.
The Actions taken by the MIG:s were a clear hostile act.
If you wait for the other fighters too open fire in situation like this, you are allready dead.
And as for you submarine question, I can´t give you a good answer.

MiG-25 Foxbat's should have been deployed to take out the AWAC's,leaving the Americans blind.Then the MiG-23's would have had a more even match.AA-7's are alright,but American BVRM's are much better.
fixdeluxe1 2 years ago
@fixdeluxe1 @fixdeluxe1 No chance dude; even without AWACS support (in this case an E-2 Hawkeye) the Tomcat would still tear the MiG's a new hole. The Tomcat's AWG-9 radar can spot anything from 50ft-80,000 ft. If the radar can track 24 bogeys and launch at 6 of them, then there better be a lot of MiG's.

@crasskicksfukinass
actually by that time a new MiG-23 version entered service, MiG-23MLD which is a better version than the one used by Libyans, it had better avionics and systems.
the Libyans had MiG-23MS/ML's which weren't a match for the F-14s, maybe F-4s and kfirs would be a suitable match for them.
the ML however would be dangerous foe to the F-14 if the pilot was well trained and skilled.
