I think a Skystriker would look cool in Iranian colours, your winter camo looks very smart indeed

I think the top ones a American F-14 mocked up to look like an Irainian one for training purposes, the second ones is a genuine Iranian one..the states sold some of them( & some other types) to Iran just before the revolution, & dispite of trade sanctions the Iranian air force have managed to keep them fliyng & used them in the Iran/Iraq war, indeed thinking about it our own Challenger tank was originally designed for the Sharhs army, it was a developement of the Chieftain I think..

the Iranian Air Force is crap, they couldn't get one of their Tomcats flying if they tried. Tony Stark could do better in a cave with a box of scraps!

Iran is estimated to have 44 F-14s with some 13 operational as of January 2009.

most have been cannabilised to keep others flying apparently.
