Jerusalem Post: Report: Israeli stealth fighters fly over Iran
Two IAF F-35 Adir fighter jets entered Iranian airspace undetected, according to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.
Two Israeli F-35 fighter jets entered Iranian airspace over the past month, Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida reported on Thursday. The act is a signal of heightened regional tensions, especially in light of recent Israeli military attacks in Syria, including against Iranian bases in the country.
Sources quoted in Al-Jarida stated that two stealth fighters flew over Syrian and Iraqi airspace to reach Iran, and even targeted locations in the Iranian cities Bandar Abbas, Esfahan and Shiraz.
The report states that the two fighter jets, among the most advanced in the world, circled at high altitude above Persian Gulf sites suspected of being associated with the Iranian nuclear program.

Update: Reports: Israel Flies F-35 Fighters Over Iran (Epoch Times)
WNU Editor: I am very skeptical of this report.
The report claimed an F-35 can fly two round trips between Iran and Israel without refueling. Obviously false since it’s range is about 600 miles.
ReplyDeleteSo doubts are in order.
^Completely agree unless (and this is a big stretch) Saudi Arabia agreed Israeli refueling planes in their airspace and/or bases.
ReplyDeleteStealth is (or was) not invisible just a smaller cross section.
ReplyDeleteJust saying you did it and getting the Iranians to invest heavily in radar upgrades or more stations could stretch their budget and hopefully break it.
I would not be at all surprised if the Israelis were not displeased with this leak. They've probably been doing this for some time.
