The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on April 6 that it destroyed dozens of Iranian aircraft during strikes on three airports close to the capital, Tehran, overnight.
In a statement, the military said that strikes were aimed at causing a blow to the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force.
Dozens of Israeli Air Force fighter jets hit Iranian planes and helicopters, as well as infrastructure “used by the regime’s armed forces for military purposes” at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport and two smaller airstrips in the area, Behram and Azmayesh.
The IDF claimed that Mehrabad served the Quds Force, the extraterritorial branch of the IRGC, and was a central hub for arming and funding Iran’s “terrorist operatives” in the Middle East.
“The concluded strikes further deepen the damage to the aerial capabilities of the Iranian terror regime,” the military added.
Videos released by the IDF show the destruction of just two Soviet or Russian-made Mi-8/17 military transport helicopters.
Mehrabad includes the 1st Tactical Air Base, which hosts the 11 Tactical Fighter Squadron of the IRIAF. The squadron operates a number of Soviet-made MiG-29A/UB fighter jets. It is unclear, however, if any of these jets were targeted in the IDF’s latest attack.
The air base also hosts the 11 Tactical Airlift Squadron, which operates American-made C-130E/H military transport planes. Two were reported targeted during the overnight strikes.
The attack was among the largest to target the IRIAF and the IRGC Aerospace Force since the start of the American-Israeli war more than a month ago. It was likely a response to recent American aerial losses. In the last three days, the U.S. lost two A-10C Thunderbolt II attack jets, one F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet, two MC-130J Commando II special mission transport planes and four MH-6 Little Bird light helicopters.
It is also possible that the attack was an attempt by Israel to sabotage ongoing diplomatic efforts to bring the ongoing war to an end.

must have got lost looking for hospitals schools and ambulances. baby trump lost some of his toys poor baby trump lonely old and no will listen to poor baby trump
blow up those rubber dummies.
wrong again you just can’t bear to admit the truth can you ? irans whole navies been sunk their entire air force is gone. not one jet. their whole air force and navy. gone .
you are an uninformed cretin. no competent military leaves military assets out in the open like that with no one or equipment around it. iran knew they’d be hit, and the joo’s just used up some more munitions for nothing. hahahaha
13 second video “evidence”… the demonic forces of the west are desperate! hahahahaha
your desperation to deceive is obvious.as is the west that wants war, the west that absolutely stopped zelensky accepting trumps peace plan or even negotiating in good faith. the west that is determined to end fossil fuels use for most commoners and bring in climate change and wefs planned agendas. them who have blood on their hands imo
i see the “american power” in the ground… us and the west are paper tigers… cry more western idiot! lmao
can’t be those were gone over a month ago time to put peace prez in a rubber room
you are a joke a bad one as funny as brussels sprouts
iran has many decoys. jews and amerikunts are knocking out chinese decoys…mwahahahah!! i hope iran destroys all ai data centers in uae
and hormuz still close. this should be a lesson to weak liberals in russia, and arrogant lunatics in the west! a country with no navy controls 20% of world transport! lmao! ideology matters!
there is nothing to gained in this war on iran, except economic ruin worldwide and lots of amputees, homeless people and suffering in the region.
war is a poor excuse to worship as a deity. peace makes everyone wealthier. we’re all going to find out what the damage of this useless war is going to be, and nobody is going to be cheering about it when it’s too late either.
no electricity. no water. no food. no medicine. isn’t it wonderful 🤮
cool theory!
history has proven the jews are incapable of forming human societies. since 1948, its been one big chimp out
well done israel! slava bibi!
if you look at the videos of these aircraft being hit you’ll notice no one around them, and they are sat out in the open. the same goes for iranian naval boats, just sat there with no equipment or personnel in sight. the same with builds, if you look at the building you can see it is empty. so the stupid joo’s are just using up munitions to hit stuff the iranians know would be hit as all there good stuff is hidden away.
no matter what you do israel, u.s….it will make no difference. you are screwed by your own stupidity.
some of the decoys are not even rubber but simply painted on the surface.
