Israel shared new footage of it bombing two of Iran's American-made fighter jets preparing to take off as joint US-Israeli combat operations against Iran continue.
Iran's fleet includes several vintage US aircraft, including the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II and legacy Northrop F-5s. Along with Iran's few US-provided Tomcats, which were iconized in the "Top Gun" movies, these aircraft are part of an aging Iranian Air Force that has limited air combat capabilities against advanced Israeli and US aircraft.
Israel F-35 downs Iranian YAK-130 in first dogfight of war
An Israeli F-35I downed an Iranian YAK-130 in the first fighter jet dogfight of the war, the IDF announced at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
It is generally used as an advanced training aircraft for pilots of the more advanced Russian SU-57 and other such aircraft, but can also be used as an attack aircraft.
On Sunday afternoon, the IDF had bombed Iranian fighter jets moments before they could take off.
Two fighter jets, one an F4 and one an F5, were already out on the runway and preparing to take off when the IDF struck.
Iran's air force, including the F4 and F5 fighters, is mostly antiquated and no real match for Israel's F-15s, F-16s, and F-35s, but the YAK-130 is more advanced than some of the others.
