Israeli F-35 Fighter Jet Incursion into Iranian Airspace; IRGC Responds with Large-Scale Missile Exercise

According to a report published by the Israeli website "Nezif" on October 11, Israeli Air Force stealth F-35I fighter jets conducted an operation deep within Iranian airspace; the objective of this operation was to assess the capability to penetrate Iran's air defense network without detection by radars.

The report claims that the aforementioned operation was accompanied by extensive military support from the United States of America.

According to available reports, U.S.-affiliated KC-46A Pegasus refueling aircraft were active in the skies over Iraq to extend the operational range of the Israeli fighter jets. It is also claimed that the U.S. military has deployed dozens of refueling aircraft to the region, and the White House has requested that the Pentagon update attack plans targeting objectives in Iran.

According to the same report, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps held a large-scale exercise on October 11, during which approximately 30 ballistic and hypersonic missiles were employed.
Monitoring launch sequencing and spectral analysis of the exhaust plumes could be used to determine local or foreign origins of these devices.
It is also claimed that Shahed-136 attack drones were utilized, Iranian fighter jets were scrambled, and air defense systems around Tehran and other cities were tested. This exercise is assessed as an effort by Iran to demonstrate military readiness and the capability to respond to potential attacks by the United States and Israel.
And Israel’s and America’s satellites were watching with judgmental eyes, modifying preexisting plans to account for what they learnt. Good job, Iran.
