![]() In November 1982, I was coming back from a mission in Iraq, while I had no air-to air missile, at this time the ground radar informed me of approaching an F-1C Mirage to me .Because I had no air-to-air missile so I decided to escape and went on high speed, but it was coming very fast and very soon I realized that I would be shot down, if I didn't do anything , so I reduced my altitude but that Mirage had intercepted me and I was afraid.So I and my RIO requested an air support from our base and also our distance was very far frome there. I was thinking of being shot down by Mirage'missile that suddenly our F-14 pilot - who was my friend- made radio contact with us and asked our situation, only in a few seconds our F-14 Tomcat while sweeping approached us from our head and passed upon us like a flash, in fact it was intercepting that Mirage, ultimately we arrived our base and landed safely while F-14 hadn't come back. After that, my friend- the pilot of F-14 - told me that after passing us he had gotten radar lock on Mirage and Mirage with seeing our F-14 had decided to leave the scene but it was too late for him because our F-14 had fired an AIM-54 missile before it,which resulted in crash. So if you have any idea about this my memoy I will be glad to answer. Iranian F-4 pilot ( Retired ) |
