Israel, US holding another joint air drill apparently focused on Iran Exercises simulate strikes on ‘strategic targets in depth’ of enemy territory, include American tankers boosting range of IAF fighter jets
The #Israeli and #American air forces on Sunday launched a joint drill, the latest in a series of exercises apparently aimed at readying the Israel Defense Forces for a potential strike in #Iran.
In a statement Monday, the #IDF said the drill, dubbed Juniper Oak, would include the Israeli #AirForce carrying out #airstrikes against “strategic targets in the depth,” an apparent reference to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Additionally, the air drills would simulate “achieving aerial superiority in the region and cyber defense against a variety of threats,” the IDF said.
During the drill, #IAF fighter jets were to refuel from an American Boeing KC-46, of which Israel has ordered four and is expected to receive the first in 2025.
The first batch of Russian SU-35 maybe delivered to Iran by next week.
the last time Iran bought any modern fighter jets was in mid 1970s when Shah's government ordered a large number of F-14 and F16, only a few of those Tomcat F-14s were delivered and all the special designed Iranian F-16s were confiscated by the US government after the groups of fanatic students attacked the US embassy in Tehran starting the long and sad moment in Iran history most people know as "Hostage Crisis"
According to aviation sources, the initial order of 16 SU-35s where changed to 30 and some roumers say Iran will receive some 70 jets.
The pilots of IRGC and Iranian Air Force have been training with Russians for over 1 year and according to unofficial Telegram channel of IRGC, several domestically build air to surface, air to air and air to sea missiles are already being prepared to be attached to the SU-35 and some in the closed Iran-defense group even talking about upgrading the aging electronics used in those planes with the more advanced radar and communication system built by Iranian Defense Research Industry/ies.
