TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency says a U.S.-made F-14 Iranian fighter jet has crashed in Bushehr province in southern Iran.

Provincial governor Mohammad Hossein Jahanbakhsh says both the pilot and the co-pilot were killed in Thursday’s crash.

The Fars report says the fighter plane crashed due to technical failure and that authorities have recovered the wreckage outside Bushehr, a port city with the same name as the province. Bushehr is known as the location of Iran’s first nuclear power plant.

Iran purchased many U.S.-made planes, including F-14s before the 1979 Islamic Revolution and during the rule of the late pro-Western Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

The plane in the photo doesn't appear to be a F-14 based on the placement and shape of the horizontal stabilizer.

May the protectors of Iran rest in peace. The crashed plane in the pic looks like a mig-29 I was going over pictures and comparing the engine section.

That doesn't look like an F-14 and the crash site doesn't look like a crash site.. looks more like where they burn garbage. The ground should been indented much more...

The photo IS NOT of the crashed IRIAF F-14A. The camo of all IRIAF TAB-6 in Bushehr is blue and not khaki. Besides, there is not a single shot from ANY previous IRIAF fighter jet crashes anywhere, let alone this crash which happened only yesterday!

Sadly, Both pilot and the RIO are killed. Seems like there has been no ejection as they most likely tried to save the precious jet until the last second.

The cause is still under investigation but given the history of F-14, engine stall due to compressor failure can be the cause. The carsh occured only 3 minutes after take off from Bushehr.

The crew are identified as Col. Karimiaee(pilot) and Maj. Fasihi(RIO). Both were highly respected at the base.

Very sad loss indeed, both the man and the machine. RIP.

Khoda biamorzadeshun.

This accident is changing my mind. We REALLY need to invest some money on manufacturing combat aircraft.

There are some misunderstanding here. Some here have already jumped to conclusion as to the problem was the age of the F-14 that crashed. We have no reports yet and not even a reliable photo, I am surprised of IMF members who should be far more analytic in their military affairs than I see here among even some old timers.

My conclusion is that most people here as members read only headlines of thousands of posts here and then are quick to extend an opinion without any depth of knowledge just because they can. Disappointing to say the least!  I think it is a waste of my time to keep writing why a new jetfighter for Iran is out of question for the short term.

Any way, this aircraft was equipped with two TF-30 engines and two experienced pilots as all the IRIAF F-14 are. I do not know the details but the history tells me IRIAF pilots would have done their best to save their ships. The both killed pilots tell me that whatever happened was very sudden, no time even to eject. This is not normally a scenario of a technical problems we have seen in IRIAF history. My hunch tells me pilot error must have been a culprit not a technical issue. Something was done, such as making a wrong turn that left no time for anything, a split of a second disaster. If the reports are correct, it was not an explosion on board as rare as it may be. I am hoping Folcrum Pilot may enlighten us with some details as he always does.

For those who do not refer to memory  before they write serious comments, such accidents happen all the time even in the best of Air Forces equipped with the best and the latest parts for their aircrafts. US Navy has several of its aircrafts lost in the Persian Gulf alone, imagine their world record. If anyone reads Air Force International they know the monthly toll of US Air Force.

In fact, Iranian air force losses must be amongst the lowest in the world armed forces. The dedication in IRIAF pilots and their training and their ground support technicians have made this possible.

Isnt that a F-14? This piece in front looks like the right nozzle of an F-14 with its rear wing.

edit:
Ah, control vane is the right word in english...but i really dont know that mutch about F-14, so...

If it was an American made jet I can understand it's failure.  America is no longer a technocratic nation it is a nation of thieves, criminal politicians and down right scum.  You will have no trouble kicking their butt in Gulf of Hormuz.  My prayers are with you!

Well, it's a 35 years old aircraft. That happens, Iran must invest in brand new ones.

Lets not forget that F-14s have crashed on several occasions while they were brand new in the IIAF. If age was the real factore then there would have been a lot more of these birds falling out of the sky already. Considering how active the Tomcat fleet is these days it is not surprising to see this kind of tragedy accure from time to time.
my heart goes out to thier families.
