One less F-14 to worry about.

Yeah. I'm quite curious on what their operating tactic will be? Stop sticks on sky?

Fill the barrels with oil and bribe any potential aggressor

The important thing about the IRIAF´s Tomcats is the still operating AN/AWG-9 radar.

It doesn´t mind if they could fire Phoenixs, Hawks or ´winders. They could direct aircrafts or ships or whatever at long range to engage the enemy.

That's actually the more likely scenario for the F-14's use. They used them as AWACS during the Iran/Iraq war.

However, they wouldn't be as effective as a real AWACS in that case...
