He reported strikes damaged radars, runways and a SAM site and cited evidence of a long-range hit beyond 300 km.

Overview

  • He said 4–5 fighters, most likely F-16s, were destroyed on the ground at an F-16 location.
  • He reported indications that a C-130 transport and possibly a high‑value surveillance aircraft were destroyed during the operation.
  • The strikes, he said, damaged radars, command-and-control centers, runways and hangars, and took out one surface‑to‑air missile system.
