Both aircraft are great aircraft, but as he said, different missions. I worked on the Tomcat for 4 years. Yes they required a lot of maintenance, but they do have to slam onto a moving, piching deck stopping in a very short distance. Also get yanked off the deck going 0 to 160 in 2.5 seconds. Lots of battles dealing with salt water, the very bad weather while sitting up on deck and the corrosion. Many countries bought the F-15 and gave it a great combat record. The Iranians bought the F-14A Tomcat and shot down over 150 Iraqi Migs with the Tomcat in the 80s during the Iran-Iraq war. What I witnes first hand daily was the Tomcat hitting the flight deck as the fuselage would flex a lot, no way the F-15 could do that. Over all, both are great aircraft and both have great pilots. Go Navy, Go Air Force. We are all a team and family no matter what uniform we wore.

To say the F-14 was superior to the F-15 because of its long range is disingenuous because for one the Phoenix missile was good against fighters unless they had no capability of being aware of the missile, the AIM-7 Sparrow on the F-15 was better. Secondly the F-14’s engines in the beginning were unreliable and gave the Tomcat a less thrust to weight ratio compared to the F-15. And third the F-15 did have long range BVR capability, it made its name in it, it’s just that the F-14 was better with its more powerful radar. In conclusion, the F-15 was better against fighters while the F-14 was better at taking down bombers and high altitude, high speed interceptors and reconnaissance platforms like the MiG-25. This is not to say that the F-14 wasn’t a good dogfighter.

But that is a misreading of the situation at the time, and confusion that just because one was called "15" it was meant to replace "14". By your logic the F-15 wasn't good enough reason why it got immediately replaced because the F-16 was developed. Each division of the Armed Forces wanted their toy tailored to their needs. In fact the initial idea was to develop a single platform for all, but this proved at the time difficult and so each one got to have a say on what they wanted and needed out of their planes. The Navy got what it needed out of the F-14 program. The Air Force got what it needed out of the F-15 program.

The video was enjoyable but contains some inaccuracies. The TF30 engines of the Tomcat was inferior to the F100 engines of the F-15. The F-15 engines produced greater thrust than the TF30 engines and did not suffer the performance issues of the TF30. The TF30 engines were originally produced for the F-111 which was a bomber and therefore the engines lacked the responsiveness and reliability of engines produced for fighters. That is why the TF30 was eventually replaced by the F110 engines.

The Phoenix, with great range, is essentially worthless for fighters. Intended for bombers. The F-15 is superior for air to air with ANY aircraft of the 70s, 80s and 90s….well into the 2000s.

Both great aircraft. F-15 definitely my favorite. F-14 was great for it's time but it's main threat to carriers essentially went away and the Navy just wasn't willing to pay for such an expensive aircraft and maintenance hog. Maintenance down time means less aircraft ready and available. It's an understandable decision. Everything comes down to the bottom line. Both beasts of aircraft. Like the video said the main difference was the AIM-54 and the AIM-120. Love them both but they each had their time in the sun. F-15 won't be around forever either.

When you're on a ship thousands of miles from anywhere, the capabilities to shoot down multiple targets before they get to the ship is important between superpower navies. With the USSR collapsing and future needs changing towards terrorism my bird was no longer needed. Upgrades where unnecessary because we already had the f18 platform to meet that need. Still, I loved being on the flightdeck watching them launch. Best years of my life.

Finally somebody got it right with these fighter jets. Just like are special forces they have different jobs or missions in every military branch to carry out.

F14a already beat F15a even during Aceval/Aimval in both BFM & BVR (w/ no aim54 phoenix allowed). But by the defense budget's cut for Grumman, the development of F14 was slowed down & stopped pretty early of its life, prompting the Grumman to find foreign customer (Iran) so they have (limited) funds for its development. But even those weren't enough, since DoD want to remove all Grumman's product from carrier operation. Considering how they had performed in their early variant, a matured of advance Tomcat surely will have much better performance than the Eagle. In the other side F15'r continuously upgraded & developed into a powerful war machine.

You’re assuming that the F-15 couldn’t get those same upgrades. The F-14 was extremely unreliable. All things being equal, the F-15 was THE air superiority fighter.

It's just politics. Once Boeing bought McDonnell-Douglas and took over production of the F-15, and all variants, as well as the F/A-18, and all variants, they could start to manipulate both the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. In the mid-80s, most of the aircraft sitting on a carrier's decks were made by Grumman. There were almost always a couple of aircraft types made by other companies, such as Vought, Lockheed, and McDonnell-Douglas. With the Hawkeyes, Greyhounds, Intruders, Prowlers, and Tomcats, Grumman pretty much created the whe Air Wing, other than the helicopters. These days, the decks of U.S. aircraft carriers are covered with aircraft made by Boeing, except for the E-2, C-2, and the helicopters. DICK Cheney drove the nail into the coffin of the F-14. The retirement of the F-14 has left a gaping hole in the ability of a carrier strike group to defend itself. This hole won't be filled until after a U.S. aircraft carrier is sunk or severely damaged by current adversaries. Only then will the top brass be screaming for an F-14 again.

Nice video, would be better in my opinion with a real voice providing the narrative.

Yes yes yes perhaps at their release date the F-14 was superior BUT later versions of the F-15 were vicious. Simple truth is the F-14s just didn't have that many air-air engagements, records do speak volumes 104-0 kill to loss ratio says it ALL. Both were phenomenal planes though!

Bring it back with thrust vectoring and a new phoenix. Ultimate fleet defender.

Both are FANTASTIC , but i choose F-15

Both F-14 & F-15 are great planes, but I chose F-15. Although if the F-21 were around it might beat the F-15 as it is an improved F-14D with more powerful engines.

For those who are looking for a real result of the competition of these two fighter planes; Reviewing them and seeing them again 1- McDonnell/Air Force Eagle F-15 and Grumman/Navy Tomcat F-14 competition was held on July 26, 1973 at Andrews, US Air Force Base, for the Shah of Iran. With the presence of the highest officials of "DoD" and defense committees of the United States Congress and officials of two manufacturing companies and representatives of the US Air Force Department as well as the US Navy Department. The superiority of the Tom Cat show in that flight piloted by Dan Evans and RIO Dennis Romano over the Eagle F-15 was evident to all present. The second competition is again at another US Air Force base, Nellis, for a week in the form of a scenario: one defender against two attackers. Two defenders against two attackers. Eagles from Nellis and Tomcats from "Miramar" battles were planned as "dog fights".

You can always tell when one of these is by someone with no idea what they are talking about when they ask "which is more powerful". What the heck does "powerful" mean? We can figure out really quickly which one has more thrust (F-15A wins against TF-30 F-14A, but F-14B/D with F-110s win against PW F100, but newer F-15s with GE F129s win). Maybe you are talking about the power of the radar? Is that average power out, peak power out and how does that relate to maximum detection range, which also is impacted by processing and receiver sensitivity. AWG-9 vs APG-63 or APG-71 vs APG-70?

The F-14 became the most expensive aircraft to operate in the Navy inventory, requiring 40 to 60 maintenance manhours per flight hour. For comparison, the F-18 Hornet requires only 20 hours of maintenance and the latest F-18E/F Super Hornet requires just 10 to 15 hours. A Super Hornet costs about $17,000 per flight hour to operate. Using these two pieces of information we can estimate the running costs of the F-14 to be somewhere between $35,000 and $40,000 per flight hour. No matter the upgrades, it’s still a swing wing, heavy, lots of panels for maintenance access, in a saltwater environment.

It was too expensive, too unreliable, and the F15 did most if not everything the F14 can do, better. You just sound like a fan boy who has a favorite plane. The F14 is cool but to claim it is the best plane ever made is asinine.

@@stillmanfischer7978 So the F-15 can do everything the F-14 did and do it better??? Really? Can it land on a carrier? Regardless of your OPINION the F-14 is the best plane ever made.

@sabrewolf4129 then why isn't it still flying? The greatest military on earth decided it wasn't worth keeping. No other country on earth uses it outside of Iran's dozen or so they still keep. Meanwhile the F15 keeps getting adopted by more and more countries. You are just a fan boy.

This AI narration is f ing annoying as hell

The F15 wins every time. Nice BS video with a boring AI voice and a script written by a 16 year old though.😂

F-14 will always rule.

This video is repetitive and heavily favors the F-14 for some reason. In reality, the F-15 is regarded as the best jet fighter of all time, considering its performance specs and combat record. The F-15EX is now on the way and will bring in the future for the airframe. The F-14 while a fine aircraft, has not been recreated or extended for a number of reasons.

F-15E is superior in every facet.

In fact it is not. It is a good fighter, but it lacks powerfull radar and long range missile. And it is just only a land based fighter.

F-15 105-0 combat capability 🦅 wins all

My 2 Cents - first I can’t take credit as it was my father who was a Grumman airframe engineer (recently deceased) not myself: however I made it 2 Annapolis in 83 with the hope of flying Tomcats - my father was proud but my mom begged me not to go so I did not - why do I share this: I ve found the both the Cat, Grumman and the proud employees of Grumman Aerospace are becoming like Elvis Presley - a fading memory.. However, as video people write about Grumman more often than not they miss much: if u compare the 14 or the 15 I’d look at which is better built as a 15 could not land on a carrier without flying apart. I don’t follow todays aircraft after my father passed but the Phoenix missile was also a nuclear weapon which the 15 was incapable of carrying which made Russia shit their pants and give up the Cold War which is one of many reasons why Regan loved the Cat over the 15. Unfortunately where most historians mess up it was Dick Cheney who took Grumman out and yes he covered that up by having the defense dept claim the cat was old, expensive, outdated, costly to maintain and to date - even the person who put this vid out does not explain why?? I’m not as it’s your job not mine if your going to do a Grumman vid - In the 80’s things were way less cheaper, I’m 58 now - we weren’t trillions in debt we were 10 billion at the time of the cat vs say a costly Raptor (yes even maintenance) and I’ll end with - Anyone hear of the Tomcat 21 which I’d much rather go into combat than say todays F-15 EX -

The F-15 was initially NOT designed for air to air combat. It was designed for ground support.

wrong, it was designed to counter the mig-25 which was thought to be an air superiority fighter, so the F-15 was designed to be an even better air superiotity fighter (then it became public that the foxbat was just an interceptor and not the new super fighter america feared)
