TEHRAN, Feb. 14 (MNA) – Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has simulated destroying hangars housing the Israeli regime's United States-procured F-35 warplanes by using ballistic missiles.

The simulation took place in an exercise that was conducted by the IRGC on Tuesday.

The drill saw the IRGC firing enhanced versions of its Emad and Qadr ballistic missiles against the F-35 hangars located inside a mock-up of the Tel Aviv regime's Palmachim Airbase.

The ballistic missiles used during the drill boasted enhanced explosive nosecones as well as increased range and precision.

According to Tasnim, the enhanced version of the Emad liquid-fuel missiles struck the targets lying 1,700 kilometers (1056 miles) away with a margin of error of less than four meters.

Located 12 kilometers south of the city of Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean coast, the Palmachim Airbase serves as the main facility housing the regime's much-vaunted F-35 aircraft.

Last month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly threatened the Islamic Republic with military action.

The Islamic Republic has repeatedly warned that it would never initiate a military action against another party, but would respond decisively and with its utmost power in case it came under attack.
