IRINA AS-61 (SH-3D Sea King) helicopters saw heavy use during the war, and were deployed for SAR, anti-shipping strikes, and in numerous commando undertakings. (Authors’ collection)   An IRIAF CH-47C Chinook. The type in IRIAF service was instrumental in salvaging many damaged planes and helicopters, bringing them to rear bases for complete refurbishment. (Authors’ collection)
An IRGC Mohajer UAV in late 1987, being recovered after an apparently inconclusive anti-surface mission during a naval exercise in the Gulf. Note the unexpended RPG-7 rounds attached under the wings, using simple pylons. These were the first actual UCAVs ever used in anger. (Authors’ collection)   Death of the Crocodile: the IrAF suffered extensive losses during the fighting for Faw in February 1986; this Mi-25 was also shot down by Iranian MANPADs. (Authors’ collection)
Pilot of an IrAF Mirage F.1EQ-5 fitting himself in the cockpit on the morning of 19 March 1988. (Authors’ collection)   Literally taken apart by numerous heavy hits scored by USN aircraft, IRINS Sahand is left afire along its whole length. (US DoD)
Wreckage of an Iranian AH-1J Non-TOW Cobra gunship completely destroyed north of Fish Lake by an Iraqi AAM.   Iraqi Su-22M shot down in the noon of 11 May 1982 by a HAWK SAM during Operation Beit-ol-Moghadass.
IIAF F-5E displays its neat lines. (via Authors)   An Iraqi Mil Mi-25 flying low over friendly positions. (via Authors)
