Following Hamas's horrific attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, the Israeli government initiated a series of punches on its enemies to achieve retribution for terrorist attacks on Israel and restore restraining lost as a result of these attacks. Starting with a counterattack for Hamas in Gaza, the Israelites struck their enemies on the western bank of the Jordan River, in Syria and even on Iran's supported terrorist network "Hezbolla" in North Lebanon.
Moreover, the Israeli Air Force even managed to strike a long range of Iran Husita in distant Yemen and for Iran's goals. After these stunning Israeli Air Force for Iranian purposes, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyaga proudly announced that he had destroyed one of the key components of the Iranian air defense network, which is considered quite complicated.
The innumerable C-300-made air defense systems were destroyed by the fifth generation of F-35i Adir's shock aircraft, which the Israelis aimed at the Iranian territory. Israel states that he has destroyed Iranian air defense networks surrounding key facilities in the country. In other words, the Israeli military claim that they retain and increase the advantage. In addition, these key goals are vulnerable to the Repeated attacks of the Israeli Air Force.
Moreover, now that Bashar Assad has fallen in Syria (and Russia supported by Russia) in Syria, the Israelis have seized large areas of the country bordering their eastern territories. The tile was entrenched in Syria and created a kind of air corridor, which his planes can safely strike on Iran and return to a safe place. The lack of reliable air defense means that all cards in the hands of Israel are now in any combat collision with Iran.
But did Israel really destroy the entire Iranian air defense network? Of course, Iran has not only C-300-made C-300. After the Israeli blow, which disrupted all the Iranian C-300 Iranian batteries, the Islamist regime in Tehran tried to diminish the damage caused. Both the Israeli government and the Biden administration have stated The Times of Israel that the Islamic Republic is "inherently defenseless".
Last April, the Iranians expressed interest in the acquisition of a more powerful Russian C-400 air defense system. However, by November, Iran stated that he did not need a Russian system. Instead, Iranians have a Bavar-373 system, which, according to Tehran, is comparable to Russian C-400. According to Iranian state sources, Bavar-373 is a system about a long-range radius that can allegedly destroy the fifth generation of Israeli and American battle planes.
Of course, it is worth asking here: why did these systems be knocked down by the F-35i Israeli planes, allowing them to destroy Iranian S-300 objects and important Iranian military facilities during October Air Force on the Islamic Republic? The fact is that the Iranians hardly ensure the operation of their air defense network. In part, this is due to the fact that since the time of the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s (which Iran barely survived) the state has not fought with close or equal rivals.
But there are other reasons. For example, in addition to the fact that the Iranian military is equipped with old systems of their own development, they do not have the appropriate doctrine for the effective use of air defense systems. Although old systems are not particularly effective against new fifth-generation combat aircraft, such as F-35i, lack of understanding of science and tactics that underlies reliable air defense, complicates Iranian attempts from protecting.
Meanwhile, the Iranians expanded their defensive perimeter to the Shiites of the neighboring Iraq. But this extended perimeter of defense could only help only if Iranians used effective technologies and had an adequate doctrine. Therefore, the Israelis really in fact secured escalating domination of the Iranians. The weakened Central Syrian government after Assad actually manages the Syria section, which causes the Israelis to capture part of Western Syria in the Golan heights.
Israelis try to create an air corridor so that their aircraft can strike in the depths of the territory of Iran. If Iranian air defense is really weakened as Israel and the United States claim, hellish bombardment is expected in the next year or so in the next year, as the Israelis seek to end the Iranian regime, and Americans support their initiative.
The destruction of the Iranian air defense by F-35I proves that this aircraft, despite a lot of problems during development, has become a powerful fighter. Brandon J.
