The F-4 was originally conceived as a plane carrier-based supersonic fighter in 1956. He entered military service in 1961. With experience gained from real combat, the F-4E Phantom II was modified and fitted with an M61 Vulcan cannon under its nose. . Some significant improvements have been made to the wings by adding leading edge trim strips and fins. This not only improved the air combat performance but also strengthened the ground attack capability.
A typical representative of second-generation warplanes, the F-4E dominated the skies of that era, from the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of the Middle East. It became a symbol of NATO air power during the Cold War.
