🇮🇷 IRAN SAYS ITS PILOTS ATTACKED U.S. BASES WITHOUT GPS OR RADIO SIGNALS

“Our pilots were trained to guide the fighter jets using only maps and rudimentary systems.”

He claimed the lack of outgoing signals gave Iran an element of surprise:

“Perhaps our trump card was that there was no outgoing signal—not even a radio signal—from our aircraft.”

According to the official, U.S. forces may not have anticipated that Iran’s air force would attempt such a mission.

3 Huh - I read something about that back in March. Allegedly an interview with a fast mover pilot who hit an installation in Kuwait City coming in hot and low (didn't even pop up for a release). Figured it was propaganda. And think it probably still is.
