Saudi arabia operate meteor missile with range of 300km. + the only way to track that distance of 150km+ range is using the awg-9 radar which is outdated and easily jammed by modern AESA radars employed by your arab enemy.you tell me what happens when there f_15 air to air missiles have, let say have 80 km rage and Iran upgraded f_14 air to air missiles have ~200 km range?
My question is how effective will iran IADS respond to the arab threat. From what i know iran had recently employed newer design SAM's based on s300 and sm2
As I said this will be all fun and gun. Mind to tell you that f14 could only maneuver max 7g (if im not mistaken) and to sustain that turn the f14 had to straighten it wing which cause it to bleed energy. His will be hampered by the facts that A models F14 used by IRIAF uses underpowered TF30 engine which often suffered from compressor stalls during excessive maneuver.240 km, 240 km, 140 km, 150 km and 185 respectively vs 370 km of f-14. also keep in mind that their missiles have shorter range and are intensively slower, 80 km for mica, 70 km for AMRAAM-B and 120 for their AMRAAM-c with mach 4 vs 160 km for fakour and 190 km for phoenix with mach 5 speed. to me it seems like saddams mig-29 story gonna happen again, they will bring their planes every time after we shoot down one of them hoping that we couldn't do it again.

compared to f-16 and f-15, f-14 is very maneuverable but against rafale and typhoons we should hit them before they reach f-14.
Btw phoenix missile range is only about 190km
