The F-4 Phantom has seen more combat then most other fighters around.

I figure it desevres a thread.

It has fought all around the world.............

Indochina wars (1964-1973)
War of Attrition (1968-1971)
Yom Kipper/Ramhadon War (1973)
USN strikes on Cambodia (1975?)
Greek Turkish Conflicts (1970s-now)
Iranina ops in Oman (1976-1977)
Iranian ops versus Iraq (pre 1980)
Iranian ops versus Kurds (1979-1980)
Iran Iraq war (1980-1988)
Israel vs. Syria (1982)
Israeli ops vs. Hezbollah (1980s)
Operation Desert Storm (1991)
Iranian ops versus Taliban (late 1990s-2001)

Plus other smaller ones.........

Throught is history it has shot down many types of planes...

MiG-17F/PF/J-5 (USA/IDF)
MiG-19/J-6 (USA/IDF/IRIAF)
MiG-21F-13/PF/M/MF/bis (USA/IDF/IRIAF)
MiG-23MS/MF/ML/BN/BK (IRIAF)
Mirage F-1EQ (IRIAF)
MiG-25PD/RB (IRIAF)
Tu-16K (IRIAF)
Tu-22B (IRIAF)
SuE (IRIAF)

Hunter FGA-9 (IRIAF)
Su-7 (IDF/IRIAF)
Su-20/22M-3K/4K (IDF/IRIAF)
Su-25K (IRIAF)
Jaguar Gr.1 (RAF)
Mi-24/25 (IRIAF)
Mi-8/17 (IRIAF)
varouis transports (An-12, An-26)

I'll talk about its upgrades/weapons...........

Greek F-4E PI-2000
APG-65GY radar
AIM-120B/C-5
IRIS-T
AGM-130
AGM-88
AGM-65
AFDS
Laser Guided Bombs

Turkish F-4E 2020 Terminator
M-2032 radar
AIM-7F/M
AIM-9L/M
Popeye I/II

Iranian F-4E
APQ-120 (upgraded for longer range)
AIM-7E-4

Popeye
Gabriel

APG-65
AIM-120B
IRIS-T

South Korean F-4E

It's neat to note that only 4 nations have fully pulled the F-4 out of service and of those 3 bought (USA/UK/Spain) it and one had it leased (Australia).

Only two nations fly the F-4D (Korea and Iran), while most users fly the F-4E minus of course Germany who uses the F-4F.
