OPERATION ZAGROS GHOSTS | IRANIAN F-4 PHANTOM II vs US F/A-18 HORNET March 1, 2026 | Nojeh Air Base, Hamadan, Iran Two legendary American-designed fighter jets. Two opposing air forces. One mission over the mountains of the Middle East. In this DCS World cinematic, Iranian Air Force F-4E Phantom II fighter-bombers depart Nojeh Air Base in western Iran on a simulated strike mission targeting a military installation near Erbil, Iraq. Inspired by reports of military strikes in the Erbil region during March 2026, Operation Zagros Ghosts explores a possible combat scenario involving Iranian Phantoms and American Hornets. Flying low across the rugged Zagros Mountains, the Phantoms navigate hostile airspace before launching their attack. But the mission takes an unexpected turn when American F/A-18 Hornets enter the fight. What begins as a strike mission becomes a fight for survival. Experience the legendary F-4 Phantom II in action, featuring detailed cockpit footage, realistic flight simulation, low-level flying, air-to-ground attacks, and intense air-to-air combat. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ MISSION BRIEFING Operation: ZAGROS GHOSTS Date: March 1, 2026 Departure: Nojeh Air Base (Hamadan, Iran) Destination: Erbil, Iraq Primary Aircraft: F-4E Phantom II Opposing Aircraft: F/A-18 Hornet Air Force: IRIAF — Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force Mission Type: Air-to-Ground Strike / Air Combat Simulation: DCS World Production: FOXONE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT THIS VIDEO Operation Zagros Ghosts is a DCS World cinematic recreation inspired by military strikes reported in the Erbil region of Iraq on March 1, 2026.
