H-3 Airstrike - The Most Famous Airstrike of the Iran-Iraq War

During the Iran-Iraq War, both sides launched many airstrikes against each other's airbases. But one of these airstrikes really stands out - the Iranian attack on the Iraqi H-3 airbase complex. Why is that so? Because H-3 is located in the extreme West of Iraq, well outside of range of Iranian F-4 Phantoms. Yet, Iranians found a way to refuel their strike aircraft in foreign airspace. How effective was the airstrike really and what is the Iraqi version of it? Find out in this video.

Some assets in this reenactment are not 100 percent accurate. As there are no KC-747 tankers in DCS, they were approximated by a regular 747-400 Jumbo Jet. Also, the specific version of the F-4E and its equipment doesn't necessarily reflect the versions used by Iran. And finally, the Iraqi airspace in the central region of the country was well defended but not exactly populated 😁I only noticed that this sentence didn't make sense after uploading the video. There are also some technical imperfections caused by my editing software acting a bit silly. I apologize for everything and thank you for your understanding!

The Iranians apparently knew the weakness of the Syrian air defense radar network in eastern Syria. This was a well planned and highly effective air strike, you can see early on in that war the difference in training and professionalism between the Iranian and Iraqi military personnel. If Saddam would have attacked Iran while the Shaw was in power, Iraq would still be under Iranian occupation today.

@showtime112 12 дней назад

That's why Saddam didn't attack before the Revolution :) Training and professionalism makes all the difference, as shown in this example.

@Archer89201 9 дней назад

Syrians actually supported Iran in the war, they even supplied weapons like Scuds and training to the Iranians, they probably allowed the strike but refrained from further strikes to not be alienated more by the Gulf Arabs.

It is relatively well known mission with the aircraft simulator players and probably with real life military pilots as well.

Excellent mission planning. Have to wonder if the mission planners and pilots were trained in the US? Probably at Luke AFB AZ. Just wondering also what advantage H3 was to the Iraqi AF? If it was too far for F-4's which have a lot longer range than any of the Soviet fighter types what advantage did it give Iraq if they also couldn't conduct operations from H3 to Iran?

@showtime112 13 дней назад

It is very certain that mission planners were trained in the USA, or at least by US personnel in Iran. As for the Iraqis deploying their aircraft to H3, it looks like they were launching from H-3, then landing at bases closer to Iran, refuel and continue towards the front lines and also refuel there on their way back but spend little time in those exposed bases.

On February 1981 the operation actually was supposed to be done by 12 F-4Es and the Phantoms even entered the Iraqi airspace but due this fact that you mentioned (low clouds) they bombed a refinery in Zakho city when they were returning to Iran which got completely destroyed and I've even heard from Mohammad Javanmardi who was involved in the both flights as a WSO and in the process of returning the damaged F-4 alongside Mahmoud Eskandari that the refinery was burning for a very long time, maybe around one month and it got shutdown completely after that flight.

12:53 in the Movie version, One of the Phantom aircraft was land on the Highway instead of airbase, so which one is true?

@showtime112 11 дней назад

Well, we have the movie version on one hand. On the other, we have a testimony by the mission commander who flew in one of the tankers. Which one seems more believable to you?

There were four aerial refuels and not exactly at 300 feet but still extremely low.

@alirezahabibzadeh2002 7 дней назад

Very accurate explained also Iran has made movie of this mission ( attack on H3 ) But story of single f4 which landed in palmira Syria , it’s more horrific than H3 cuz it took 2 months to fix the airplane and mean while Iran sent 2 professional pilot to syria to bring it back !! Unfortunately Syria intelligent advised to iraqs intelligent about the flight pattern and time of flight . More than 20 Iraqis migs were patrolling over the turkey ; syria and Iraq borders to intercept f4 !! But Iranian pilots were so smart and instead of taking that pattern, they decided to fly across the the country of Iraq at a altitude of 50 feet from the ground with supersonic speed and reach Iran and they succeeded.

According to your background music: The new video from Farya Faraij Iranians react to Orientalist music Orientalism: Desert Level Music vs Actual Middle-Eastern Music was an eye (and ear) opener to me! You should watch it to be able to make improved decisions in the future.

@showtime112 12 дней назад

Thank you for the suggestion. I am aware that the music isn't exactly authentic. But for one thing, royalty free music is extremely rare and there isn't much choice. Another thing is that most viewers don't really require that much authenticity in that aspect. The music just needs to inspire a certain feel (which it still does). So, I might watch the video but nothing much will change.

This video was great, I loved it. This is an amazing scenario for making a movie. Hollywood should have been looking for such a movie. However, in Top Gun, Maverick manages to steal an Iranian F14. The fighter is full of fuel and armed, without any care and the switch is behind the sun visor🤣😂

@showtime112 6 дней назад

Thank you very much for the feedback! Speaking of Top Gun Maverick, the final mission is much less believable than the one in the original movie :)

However, this attack did not help the Iranian Air Force, which left the skies of battle after the year 1982, when Iraqi planes arrived and toured over Tehran, Isfahan, Qazvin, Shiraz, and the Strait of Hormuz. They bombed Iranian refineries in northern Iran and refueled deep inside Iran. Iranian planes were fleeing for fear of clashing with the planes. The number mentioned in the report about the number of Iraqi aircraft destroyed is not correct, and this is due to the Iranians’ habit of exaggerating the losses of their enemies.
