Israel’s pre-dawn strike on Iran marked one of its largest and most intricate air assaults to date. Dozens of aircraft, including advanced U.S.-made F-35 stealth jets alongside F-16 and F-15 warplanes, flew over 1,000 miles or 1600 km to hit multiple targets within Iran.The operation followed Iran’s launch of over 180 ballistic missiles toward Israel on October 1. Israel had pledged a strong response, which came in three waves, beginning at around 2 a.m. on October 26 and ending by 6 a.m., when the last Israeli jet returned unscathed.This was an incredible feat is since Iran possessed several Russian made S-300 and S-400 batteries which should have inflicted some damage on the 4th generation F-16 and F-15 combat aircraft, if not the 5th generation F-35s.This was possible, partly because of IAF’s excellent mission planning as well as the use of ammunition that enabled the warplanes to maintain a relatively safe distanceIn this video, Defense Updates analyzes which two weapons IAF deployed to decimate Iranian targets ? #defenseupdates #israeliranwar #israelvsiran
