The Pilot-part 4- The life of Shahid Abbas Dowran (IRIAF)

بسم رب الشهدا
کجايند مردان بی ادعا؟
عباس،عباسِ دوران ,حسين فهميده ی آسمان

Shahid(Martyr) Abbas Dowran was one the bravest Iranian f-4E pilots during the imposed war. He was known as a man of few words fearing nothing but God. In Oct 1980 , along with his comrades Shahid Khal'atbari , Shahid Yassini and Shahid TalebMehr, he played a major role in destroying the Iraqi Navy. In 1982 when Israel invaded south Lebanon, Dowran was the first pilot to volunteer to carry out possible strike missions into Israel. As a major mission planner of IRIAF, he also carefully crafted the mission plans for striking Israel, some of his plans still kept secret by IRIAF to be used later in case of a possible future conflict.
When Saddam wanted to host the 7th Summit of Non-Aligned Movement in Baghdad in 1982, Dowran took the lead to prevent the summit from taking place, showing to the world that Baghdad Airspace is not safe. On July 21 1982 ,after bombing Baghdad refinery, he entered Baghdad airspace through heavy fire. His plane was hit with two SAM missiles.His Radar interceptor officer, Lt. Col. Kazemian, ejected from the plane and was later taken prisoner. Knowing that he was the most wanted pilot in Iraq and also the key IRIAF mission planner, he chose martyrdom, crashing his plane into Al-Rashid Hotel where the conference was to be held. Due to his heroic actions the summit was canceled and held elsewhere resulting in a major political blow to the world-backed Saddam.
