F-14 или F-15

Он от этого перестал быть перехватчиком?
Как тут вроде уже писал, Ф-14 заменил непошедший в серию Ф-111Б. Который был именно чистым перехватчиком. Это о изменяемой геометрии...

Despite being primarily designed as an air superioty fighter and an interceptor the F-14 was from the very start cleared and tested to carry all of the modern American general purpose bombs (GP) of the Mk-80 series. In addition it was also cleared to carry the Mk-20 Rockeye cluster bomb and the 5” Zuni folding-fin aircraft rocket (FFAR).
Even if this mission requirement was later abandoned by the US Navy, Grumman worked to ensure the F-14 could, if required, fly in a strike fighter role. In 1973 a Tomcat even flew with 14 Mk82 500lb (227kg) bombs attached to modified Phoenix missile rails, as well as two AIM-7 Sparrow and two AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles on its wing glove pylons. The AWG-15 (air-to-ground attack system) weapons control panel was also installed in the cockpit, but it only had limited functionality.
