Its fighter aircraft Israel They were the “spearhead” in the operation “Rising Lion” and the IAF Israeli pilots have taken the difficult task of neutralizing its threat Iranhundreds of kilometers away from their bases.
On Friday (13.06.2025), 200 fighter jets took off from Israel and began bombing targets in Iran. Since then, for a week now, air strikes on Iranian territory are nonstop.
As Israeli pilots describe, in the first 24 hours of Rising Lion, the goal was one: Air Force over Iran, neutralizing Iranian air defense systems.
“Major B.”, a pilot of the Israeli war grade (IAF) describes what fighter pilots are experiencing in their operations against Iran. “In the first 24 hours of the business, the aim was to create an environment in which every soil -air threat that would target us would be sure to beat it.”
According to him, IAF pilots have identified Iranian fighters to take off from various bases, “but they never fly to us. They always fly in the opposite direction. And that’s the most right. “

“We are facing an existential threat to the State of Israel and must eliminate the three key threats against peace and our citizens,” he continued.
“First, the nuclear threat. Second, the ballistic threat. And thirdly, all the pro -agrarian groups in the area, “the Israeli pilot said.
He describes that the IAF has the flexibility to carry out blows wherever and whenever necessary. “When we see a target in a densely populated area we do not hit it.”
“Sometimes, on the flight of return to our base, we see Iran’s ballistic missiles already flying next to us to Israel. In one of the operations, as I returned, I saw an Iranian rocket hitting a densely populated area of Israel. And I saw this from above, “Major B. continued.
“This has given me to understand even better what we are protecting. And at the end of the day, the IAF knows exactly what it aims for, how it aims and all of us are the military facilities of the Iranian regime. It’s difficult, but if we don’t do it, no one else will do it. “
