Iran strikes Israeli F-16 fighter jet

TEHRAN, Mar. 21 (MNA) – Iran’s IRGC said advanced air defense systems struck another enemy fighter aircraft early Saturday in central Iran.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said a third hostile fighter jet belonging to the enemy was struck over central Iran.

According to the IRGC public relations office, the aircraft, identified as an F-16 fighter jet, was hit at 3:45 a.m. by advanced air defense systems operated by the IRGC Aerospace Force.

The statement added that the successful interception and destruction of more than 200 aerial targets — including drones, cruise missiles, refueling aircraft and advanced fighter jets — during the first three weeks of the war reflects increased monitoring and interception capability in Iranian and regional airspace, as well as stronger national air defense systems.
