TEHRAN, April 4 (Xinhua) -- Iran's main military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said Saturday the country's armed forces hit the previous day a U.S. fighter jet, three drones, two stealth cruise missiles, two U.S. A-10 attack planes and two American Black Hawk helicopters.
Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the headquarters' spokesman, said the aircraft were targeted by the air defense systems of the Ground Force of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps and army under the guidance of the country's integrated air defense network, according to the official news agency IRNA.
Zolfaghari said that Iran's homegrown air defense systems are being unveiled one by one in the battlefield.
On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing Iran's then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded by launching waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. assets in the Middle East. ■
