The 14s didn't intercept the missiles in combat, same as they didn't intercept the missileers in the form of Tu-22 or 22m/26. Let's not confuse capability with intent, and either of the two with what a random internet person tells us.

I'm looking for General Dynamics' entry into the Navy's VFX program, I found info on the 303, 225, and the 507 but I can't seem to find anything on General Dynamics. From what I've read on the internet it seems to be a smaller version of the failed F-111B with a large folding vertical...

I have always felt that if we had done what France did and purchased the F8 we could have kept a carrier force
as long as the French did. We could...
