ME News update: On April 4 (UTC+8), Ali Reza Erhami, commander of the Iranian Air Defense Joint Command, said during an inspection of Iran’s Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps defense positions that Iran has, using newly developed methods and equipment, “been prepared to ambush the enemy’s fifth-generation fighter jets and advanced unmanned aerial vehicles.” He said that in earlier battles, Iran’s air defense forces successfully shot down several of the enemy’s advanced fighter jets, as well as more than 160 UAVs, including “MQ-9,” “Hermes,” “Lukas,” and other drones jointly used in incursions by the US and Israel, along with dozens of cruise missiles. Before the enemy launched its offensive operations, they took “timely and precise” actions. In the operations carried out by the Army and Revolutionary Guard air defense units, multiple enemy fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft were hit, damaged, or brought down. Erhami said that this achievement was made possible by the innovative use of advanced tactics, modernized equipment, and air defense system capabilities, which threw the enemy into chaos.
