IAF in Iran – 2nd Iran war 26th day

Hi,
With take the fact that IAF attack in Iran so freely, I thought I would stop for a moment to understand that is a major achievement we do not recognize how significant it is.

For me it all started in Am Kelavi, when full aerial control of the IAF was first achieved over Iran. But it started before, according to IAF officers, with Operation Days of Repentance on October 26th 2024. Its three waves of attacks over Iran, had reduced dramatically the ability of Iran anti aircraft systems.

You can think of operation Outstretched Arm, on July 2024 as a preparation for Operation Days of Repentance. In this operation IAF aircraft flow over 2,000 km to Yemen to strike Hudaydah Port. That operation showed IAF can reach almost any point in Iran.

Since the begining of She’agat HaAri (2nd Iran war) more than 600 waves of attack on Iran ballistic missiles systems only. Much more waves were preformed over Iran regime buildings, gas fields, Basij forces, airfields etc.

Anti aircraft systems of Iran are almost completely destroyed, and still the fact those aircraft and IAF pilots are flying daily back and forth to Iran daily without any aircraft or pilot down is amazing. I am sure there are special forces, ready for any case (and maybe there was a case we were not aware of?) – but they all come back daily safe home.

Thinking about it, some of those aircraft are more than 50 years old (F-15 Baz for example). The IAF is manage to keep work in those hard conditions, and keep retrofit and refurbish it.

Take Care
