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.

    On board the L/C, sat in the Landrover, was an AAC soldier whom I served with, his memory was of him talking with a RM crew member, then finding himself bobbing in the water, blinded and confused. He was rescued and made a full physical recovery. For years after, he would find tiny slivers of aluminium in his tears.

    As eye popping as the jets were, the Luftwaffe should have put the Ta-152 and Do-335 on the front burner. In the night skies, the He-219 should have gotten more priority. The quagmire that was the OKL made it fight against itself as much as the enemies in the air.

    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.

So Conscripts with little training were thrown in because the Argentinian Marines knew they would be HUMILIATED again Cowards. The Argentinian Navy RAN AWAY = Cowards.
