In 1984, during the Iran-Iraqi war of attrition, both US and USSR military forces have been involved. While publicly known that Iran has been using purchased surplus Russian military equipment (and CIA has been supplying Iranian forces), until now it has been only speculated that elite Russian pilots have been directly involved in some of the aerial engagements. WikiLeaks has recently disclosed footage that has been made available only to specific CIA operatives and proves direct loss of American F-4 Phantom II over Iranian border, caused by an unknown Russian pilot.
