It is possible to share a kill -- I don't know about today, since one missile generally brings down one plane, but back in WWII, you often heard about one pilot starting a kill, but not being able to finish it, then another pilot finishing the kill. Each would then get 1/2 kill credited. |
in 1980s, an Iranian F-5E shot down an Iraqi MiG-25 which was already crippled by another Iranian AF F-14A's AIM-54A.
The pilot of the F-5E was Captain Zarif Khadem (former Golden Crown Aerobatic team member) who was later killed during an air raid mission.
Captain ZARIF-KHADEM of IRIAF from TFB.2 / F-5E, MiG-25 killer, in 1983.
