Why 67% of F-4 Phantom pilots died in Vietnam
Discover the story of the F-4 Phantom, the iconic fighter jet known as the “Phantom of the Air” that revolutionized aerial combat during the Vietnam War. This video explores its 16-year development, the initial challenges after losing 67% of its first battles, and how it transformed military air tactics. Costing $18 million per unit, the F-4 faced the dilemma of being a nuclear interceptor designed for combat at 100 kilometers, but forced to fight in close maneuvers of less than 2 kilometers against agile Vietnamese MiGs.
