U.S. Showed Strikes On Iran's Air Force

The missiles hit the targets without any interference from air defense.

The United States Army Central Command has released footage of missile strikes on Iranian military airfields where transport planes were stationed, writes Focus.

The video with footage of the strikes shows American missiles hitting their targets without being interfered with by air defenses. What capabilities has Iran lost thanks to U.S.-Israeli coalition airstrikes?

The U.S. Army is defending itself against threats from Iran and systematically destroying Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) aircraft, according to a CENTCOM post on social media X. The command released video of moments of strikes that destroyed at least three Iranian military transport planes. After each hit, the planes instantly burst into flames and disintegrated into pieces. The final moments of the footage show two columns of fire - meaning two targets on the same airfield were destroyed at once.

The CENTCOM footage appeared on the night of March 12 (Kiev time). The video lasts 23 seconds: first they show whole airplanes, then missiles hit the hull and further fire erupts, the fuselage falls off and the wings fall behind the ground. On the portal Business Insider recognized the destroyed objects. It turned out that the Americans hit a C-130 Hercules transport plane (produced in the 1960s in the United States), a Lockheed P-3 Orion anti-submarine patrol aircraft (1970s, USA) and an Il-76 transport plane (1980s, USSR).

American command did not specify at which airbases and when they destroyed the Iranian planes that appeared in the March 12 video. Capabilities of aircraft lost by Tehran: the C-130 Hercules can carry 20 tons of cargo (e.g., guns, armored vehicles, a hundred military personnel), the Lockheed P-3 Orion can patrol and detect submarines, and the Il-76 can carry up to 60 tons of cargo (e.g., weapons or two hundred soldiers).
