I'm very interested in this The 14s didn't intercept the missiles in combat, same as they didn't intercept the missileers in the form of Tu-22 or 22m/26. Let's not confuse capability with intent, and either of the two with what a random internet person tells us.The F-14s were not to be flown in ones and twos when the enemy is expected to bring his big guns to the fray, but in flights, if not squadrons. Four F-14s can cover more than 180 deg sector.Was the premise of Backfires out-teching the 54As ever tested? If yes, please show sources. Ditto for general Soviet abilities to jam US gear; again, not premises, but real stuff.Agreed all the way.
