The US and Israel Are Blowing Up the Last Flying F-14 Tomcats on Earth

The United States and Israel are working to destroy Iran’s fleet of F-14 Tomcats—the final remaining airworthy F-14s anywhere in the world.

Multiple Iranian F-14 Tomcat fighters have been destroyed on the ground during US-Israeli strikes on Iran’s 8th Tactical Air Base in Isfahan, a major hub for the Iranian Air Force.

Images released by satellite firm Vantor appear to confirm the strikes, which took place during Operation Epic Fury. The United States and Israel have targeted Iran’s air bases, missile infrastructure, and command centers. The destruction of these aircraft could mark the final chapter of the last operational F-14s in the world, which the US Navy retired two decades ago.
