McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II
McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II je dvoumístný, dvoumotorový, nadzvukový stíhací letoun dlouhého doletu schopný provozu za každého počasí. Byl původně navržen jako palubní stíhací letoun pro Námořnictvo Spojených států amerických (US Navy) vyzbrojený pouze řízenými střelami, neboť v době jeho vzniku se počítalo s tím, že se vzdušné souboje budou odehrávat pouze na větší vzdálenosti a kanónů tak nebude zapotřebí. Phantom se však osvědčil i při útocích na pozemní cíle a jako průzkumný letoun.
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy by McDonnell Aircraft. It first entered service in 1960 with the U.S. Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it was also adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force, and by the mid-1960s had become a major part of their air wings.

- In the 1960s and 1970s when the U.S. and Iran were on friendly terms, the U.S. sold 225 F-4D, F-4E, and RF-4E Phantoms to Iran. The Imperial Iranian Air Force saw at least one engagement, resulting in a loss, after an RF-4C was rammed by a Soviet MiG-21 during Project Dark Gene , an ELINT operation during the Cold War.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force Phantoms saw heavy action in the Iran–Iraq War in the 1980s and are kept operational by overhaul and servicing from Iran’s aerospace industry. Notable operations of Iranian F-4s during the war included Operation Scorch Sword, an attack by two F-4s against the Iraqi Osirak nuclear reactor site near Baghdad on 30 September 1980, and the attack on H3, a 4 April 1981 strike by eight Iranian F-4s against the H-3 complex of air bases in the far west of Iraq, which resulted in many Iraqi aircraft being destroyed or damaged for no Iranian losses
