The IDF successfully took out several of Iran's F-14 fighter jets, a military spokesperson announced on Sunday, along with detection and air defense systems which posed a threat to IDF aircraft.
The jets were located at the airport in Isfahan, the city where Israel had previously destroyed Ghadr-class ballistic missiles and their launch platforms.
Another strike conducted on Friday by the IDF destroyed 16 'Quds Force' aircraft at the Mehrabad airport in Tehran.
Iranian F-14's received in 1976
Iran received 79 of the US-made F-14's in 1976 when the country was still ruled by the Iranian Shahs. These were taken by the Islamic Republic after the 1979 Revolution.
The F-14 was retired by the US Navy in 2006, being replaced by the F-18.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is the only country that still uses the twin-engine fighter jet.
