During the IranIraq 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 H3 airbase complex. Why is that so? Because H3 is located in the extreme West of Iraq, well outside of range of Iranian F4 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.
