Judging by the orange neck tie its a formal evening warfare weapon.

I am quite sure after double checking that the missile in question is the Russian Air-to-air missile the AA-8 "Aphid".

Perhaps...

It's a jetfighter :P

Looks like AGM-142



But I have already found what it is

It is called Sattar and here is the real thing on show



It says it a laser guided AGM

But the cone in the first picture seems different. I am not sure whether this is due to the speed etc. And with the last picture I miss the double tailfin. But it does resemble the sattar-1, so you might be right Phoenix. But why fire it with a Phantom and not a contemporary plane?

It doesn't look much like anything in the Russian arsenal (at least nothing the Iranians are supposed to have), but I still can't get it to look like any of the Sattar family. There's a vague resemblance to the Sattar-1, but the configuration is still off.

Where'd you get the original picture?

if you notice the insignia on the side of the aircraft, you will notice that its an IRIAF (Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force) plane. they have updated their aircraft to current standards. also read the other posts......DUH
