【Strongest ship fighter with variable wing】
From the first flight of 1970 to the retirement of 2006, the F-14 Tomcat of the US Navy continued to fly as the world's strongest defense aircraft fighter.
Adopting a variable wing that can automatically control the receding angle of the main wing, it achieves both high speed performance and excellent motor performance.
The combination of a powerful radar fire control system (AN / AWG - 9) and a Phoenix missile with a range of 150 km realized an unparalleled interception capability.
Among Tomcat, which produced a total of 632 aircraft, the initial production type F - 14 A produced 477 aircraft for the US Navy.

By the late 1970's, 79 aircraft were handed over, and in the 1980's Iran-Iraq war, they fought intensely for interception tasks.
Even now, the Iranian Air Force has developed itself independently and is deployed on the front line as the main air defense aid.
