Great video -

Are these the pilots in the F-14s? I kid, but great video Comrade Chuck

Have to wonder how accurate the sticks of dumb boys from the top of the world are. Also, the Blackjack is a BIG airplane, thereby making the cruise missile it was dropping a pretty big missile. Inside of the Blackjack bomb bay looks like it was carved from wood.

Call me a skeptic but I didn't see Iranian 14s and Russian bombers in the same shot. Good propaganda video though.

If it's true, It would take a lot of changes to the way the both do business and deploy, and there's not really a need for such an op.

There are two F-14's with a bear at 1:30

Honestly I'm surprised they're still flying, an old gorgeous aircraft

I think cats and bears would make more sense

Yup, there are. There's also a lot of footage of US F-14s escorting bears floating around out there too.

We know for a fact that Iranians are pretty convincing with photoshop already. Stranger things have happened, but I'll remain skeptical until I see some legitimate reporting/ coverage on the subject outside of a compilation video.

Those were pretty clearly not U.S. F-14's. And it was a Russian video.

If it showed a whole bunch of F-14's airborne at once I would be a little skeptical. There is plenty of recent evidence of them flying a couple F-14's at once though, so this doesn't seem like a big deal.

I measured the Missile by cross referencing the length of the Blackjack in the shot at 2:36 and the cruise missile is about 10 meters long compared to the Tomahawk which is 6.25 meters

They had Iranian tails, A-model engines, and no camera pod under the nose. Looked pretty much like a textbook Iranian F-14. If it had the camera pod, I think you might be on to something, but I'm just not seeing it in the shot.

May seem like a stupid (but serious) question, but what are the Iranians doing up there with the Blackjacks? Escort?
