Iran’s air defense systems down six advanced Hermes drones
The Iranian army has reported that its air defense systems successfully destroyed six advanced enemy drones over the last 24 hours as they were flying over the Iranian territory.
In a communique issued on Tuesday, the army stated that the drones were intercepted and shot down by the integrated systems of the Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base.
It further specified that six advanced “Hermes” drones were targeted and destroyed across various regions, including Isfahan, Qasr-e Shirin, Tabriz, Khuzestan province, and the greater Tehran area.
Since the beginning of the war on Saturday, a total of 35 advanced hostile drones have been intercepted and downed, the army reported.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says its Aerospace Force has successfully targeted and neutralized a second US-operated Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in West Asia.
These operations were executed by ground-based air defense units, fighter jets from the Air Force, and units of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), all operating under the country’s integrated air defense network.
Iran’s military has been conducting sustained retaliatory attacks against the American military installations in the region and targets within the Israeli-occupied territories.
The operations are being conducted in response to a war of aggression initiated by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic over the weekend.
