YEREVAN, OCTOBER 9, ARMENPRESS. Iran’s recent retaliatory missile strike against Israeli military targets has annihilated a remarkable number of Israeli F-35 fighter jets, an adviser to the commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said, reports Tasnim News Agency.
Addressing a conference in Tehran on Wednesday, Brigadier General Ebrahim Jabbari said 90 percent of the missiles that Iran fired against the Israeli regime in the operation on October 1 successfully hit their targets.
During the missile strike, the IRGC carried out “cyber and electronic warfare operations” simultaneously against the Israeli regime’s air defense systems, allowing for the missiles to hit the targets, the Iranian general added.
According to Jabbari, Iran’s ballistic missiles have successfully hit the Israeli regime’s important bases and hangars of F-35 fighter jets, detonating a remarkable number of those warplanes.
''Israel and the US were totally caught by military and intelligence surprise although they had employed all of their advanced equipment to ward off the Iranian strike,'' he noted.
