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.

    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.

    the thing is the last phantom didn't land in syria but in fact the leader of the squadron showed him a road so the phantom which was out of fuel could land on it the leader dive in to the road in iran near the air base they operated in so he could scare people and lead them out of the road

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.

    Beside being a daring operations over enemy territory, a lot of things were done which were not in the books and never will .Such as refueling at less than 1000 feet of altitude by a 747 !!! Also the holding pattern area for the 747's were so tight (to remain in Syrian air space and not Iraqis) that they had to make 45-50 degree bank in altitude of less than 1000 feet while waiting for the Phantoms to arrive and during the refueling. Well done boys. You deserve to be in every book written about aerial warfare but unfortunately what you did remains to be relatively obscured in the west.

    This war was a true demonstration of the up-to-date aircraft technology of that time. Iran with airplanes and helicopters and pilots who were trained in America and in front of the Iraqi Air Force with Russian fighter planes and pilots who were trained there. Do not forget that at the beginning After the war, Iran's army had disintegrated after the revolution and all the commanders of the air force had been fired or retired. Young pilots went to war with very young commanders and fought well. But in the middle of the war, due to sanctions, they could not even buy spare parts.

    The Iranian Air Force (lacking spare parts for their planes and etc) flew 4,000 miles and significantly damaged the H3 base, destroying at least 34-40 Iraqi planes. The Israeli Air Force attacked the same base three times, but despite only having to cover 30% of the distance the Iranians flew, they were not as successful in causing damage during their attacks as the Iranian Air Force did during just one attack.
    This operation is one of a kind in the history.
