Description
A Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer fighter-bomber was destroyed on the ground at Ahvaz International Airport in Khuzestan Province, Iran, during a US airstrike as part of Operation Epic Fury. CENTCOM released footage of the strike on March 5, showing the aircraft being hit alongside an F-5 Tiger and another fighter jet. The Su-24 was parked at the airport, which had its runway cratered by earlier strikes. This is part of the broader US-Israeli campaign targeting Iranian military aviation assets across the country's airbase network.
