The McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom is a long-range, twin-engine, two-seat multirole fighter designed for severe weather operations. The first flight of the prototype took place on 27 May 1958, and serial production began in 1961. Initially, the F-4 was intended only as a stormtrooper, but from 1955 onwards, design work went towards meeting the US Navy's need for a new airborne fighter. The F-4 Phantom proved to be a very successful machine, produced in various versions, exported to many countries and produced under license. Early versions are models A to D intended for fighter-bombers. The next version is the F-4E, produced since 1967 as a long-range fighter. Reconnaissance versions were also created: RF-4B, RF-4C and RF-4E. The latest versions are F-4F and F-4G Wild Weassel - these are electronic warfare planes and are designed to combat enemy radars. F-4s participated in the Vietnam War, the Middle East conflicts (1967, 1973) and the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). A total of 5,057 F-4 Phantom aircraft were built. Technical data (F-4E version): Maximum speed: 2370 km/h, rate of climb: 210 m/s, maximum ceiling 18300 m, maximum range: 2600 km, armament: fixed - 1 M61A-1 20 mm cannon, Mounted - up to 7255 kg of bombs and rockets.
