News India Live, Digital Desk: The US Air Force (USAF) and Navy together targeted Iran’s radar systems, missile depots and command centers. In this operation, a wonderful synergy of ‘stealth’ technology and ‘precision strike’ was seen.
1. MQ-9 Reaper Drone (The Hunter-Killer)
This is the same drone which killed Qasim Sulemani and now it is being said to have played a big role in the end of Khamenei too.
USP: It can fly silently for hours at an altitude of 50,000 feet. It is equipped with ‘Hellfire’ missiles which destroy the target without making any sound.
2. F-35 Lightning II (The Invisible Ghost)
This is the world’s most modern 5th generation fighter jet.
Roll: Its greatest strength is its ‘Stealth’ This means Iran’s Russian S-300 and S-400 radars could not even see it and it did its job.
