近日，以色列空军对伊朗首都德黑兰进行了空袭，摧毁了两架伊朗拥有的美制F-14“雄猫”战斗机。通过商业卫星图像显示，其中一架战机已被完全摧毁，另一架受损。这次袭击是以色列针对伊朗核计划展开的行动的一部分，加剧了中东地区的紧张局势。文章详细介绍了F-14的历史、伊朗的F-14现状以及此次空袭的背景和影响。

💥 以色列军方袭击了位于德黑兰迈赫拉巴德国际机场的两架伊朗F-14“雄猫”战斗机。商业卫星图像显示，一架战机被完全摧毁，另一架受损。

✈️ F-14“雄猫”是由美国格鲁曼公司制造的多用途战斗机，曾是美国海军的主力战机。在1970年代，美国向伊朗出售了近80架F-14，但1979年伊朗革命后，两国关系破裂，美国停止了对伊朗F-14的零部件供应。

🇮🇷 由于国际制裁和禁运，伊朗的空军装备相对陈旧，F-14的维护和升级面临挑战。尽管如此，伊朗仍然是唯一一个仍在运营F-14的国家。

🔥 以色列的空袭行动是其旨在削弱伊朗核计划的一部分，过去一周，以色列对伊朗的核设施、重要科学家、指挥官等进行了大规模空袭，伊朗则以导弹和无人机回应。

The Israeli military said it bombed two Iranian F-14 Tomcats in Tehran earlier this week.A new satellite image shows that one of the fighter jets is destroyed while the other looks damaged.The US sold dozens of F-14s to Iran in the 1970s when the two countries still had ties.

New satellite imagery of an Iranian airfield shows two US-made F-14 fighter jets — one of which looks to be totally destroyed — after they were hit by Israeli airstrikes earlier in the week.

The image, captured on Friday by US commercial satellite imaging company Maxar Technologies and obtained by Business Insider, shows the two F-14s at a facility at Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran.

One of the F-14s appears to have taken a hit near the nose, although the full extent of the damage is unclear. However, the other jet directly next to it was reduced to a burned wreck.

Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces, said on Monday that an IDF drone struck two Iranian F-14s, marking "another loss of strategic weaponry for the enemy." The military published footage showing a direct hit on each aircraft.

The F-14 Tomcat is a multi-role fighter jet made by the US aerospace corporation formerly known as Grumman Aerospace Corporation, now Northrop Grumman. Designed to be launched from aircraft carriers, the plane was introduced by the US Navy in the 1970s and participated in combat missions around the world over the next few decades.

The Navy stopped flying the F-14 in 2006, after replacing it with the F/A-18 Super Hornet made by US defense manufacturer Boeing. However, the F-14 has remained a celebrated aircraft, in part because of its spotlight in the "Top Gun" blockbusters.

The US sold nearly 80 F-14s to Iran, once an American partner, before the 1979 Iranian Revolution ended relations between the two countries. Washington cut support and supplies of spare parts for the Tomcats, and Tehran's inventory slowly declined over time as maintenance and logistical challenges mounted. Iran still has its jets, though, and is the only remaining operator.

Iran's F-14s, like much of its air force, are relatively obsolete due to international sanctions and embargoes that prevent the country from modernizing its fleet. Tehran also operates other aging aircraft, including Soviet-era Su-24s and MiG-29s and US-made F-5s.

The limitations of its airpower have forced Iran to rely on building a large arsenal of ballistic missiles and attack drones. Tehran was said to have purchased newer Su-35 aircraft from Russia, although it's unclear if any have been delivered.

Israel has struck additional aircraft beyond the two F-14s, including at least one aerial refueling tanker and eight attack helicopters, since beginning a new operation last Friday aimed at degrading Iran's nuclear program, a longtime goal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Over the past week, Israeli fighter jets have carried out widespread airstrikes across Iran, targeting its nuclear facilities, top scientists, senior commanders, missile launchers, air defenses, and other high-profile military infrastructure. The Iranians have responded by launching hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is weighing whether to use US assets to strike Iran's most hardened nuclear sites. Iran has said that it will retaliate if American forces intervene in the conflict.
