Hello comrades, I have a question as we all know.The present time only about possible conflicts between Israel and Iran, so as far as I know, the F-14A is still the backbone of the Iranian army, but old electronic system (which may haveupgraded by Russia), but maneuverability almost Su-27 (ie more than the F-15I) and long-range missiles AIM-54 phoenix.Sure would be a real threat to the F-15I of the Jews?

PERFORMANCE of Grumman F-15I
Primary Role
- Tandem seat attack plane
Dimensions
Wingspan: 13.5 m
Length: 19.43 m
Height: 5.63 m
Capabilities
Maximum speed: Mach 2.5 at high altitude,
1,482 kph at low altitude
Range: 4,450 km
Weight
Empty: 14,379 kg
Max. loaded: 36,750 kg
Power Plant
- 2 Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 engines with a max. thrust of 29,000 lb. each
Weapons
- 20 mm. 6 barrelled cannon at wing root. Air-to air missiles: Python 3, Python 4, Sidewinder, Sparrow and AMRAAM. Varied air-to-ground missiles and guided bombs.
Total carry load capacity: up to 11 tons
I would go with the Iranian F-14A + IL-76 AEW + IRST and AIM-54 As well as the high mobility, I concluded when I read somewhere on the learning ability of the Su-27 F-14 (which is probably the Soviets refer to as from 1979 onwards), and in the movie Top Gun, Tom Cruise,I saw a cobra action of F-14. IAI Phalcon AEW + F-15I and the AIM-120 will also be a threat.But AIM-120 as far as I know the lower range of the phoenix. We are talking about BVR, and Dogfight, depending on the level of the pilot, I do not know F15I the maneuver with specific numbers?
