A sensational piece of information has come to light about the 12-day war between Israel and Iran last month. An Israeli plane developed a malfunction during the attack on Iran, which almost forced it to make an emergency landing.
Israel’s Channel 12 reported this information in its report. It said that the Israeli F-15 fighter jet was far inside the Iranian border when the pilot noticed a problem with the fuel tank. The necessary team was immediately informed about the problem.
There was no refueling fighter jet on the mission
According to the report, there was no aerial refueling aircraft with the Israeli fighter jets on this mission, so it was planned to send an aircraft to solve the problem. In addition, a plan B was developed, in which it was planned that if the refueling plane could not reach the malfunctioning fighter in time, it would have to cross the border and make an emergency landing in a neighboring country. The report did not say which country was chosen for the emergency landing.
Mission completed without any problems
The report said that the refueling plane finally arrived on time and the problem was resolved. It said that the Israeli plane did not need to abandon the mission and that the mission was successfully completed without any additional problems.
Iranian state media claimed during the war that Iranian forces had shot down two Israeli fighter jets and captured one pilot, but Channel 12 reported that no Israeli aircraft were shot down during the entire war. However, before Israel’s surprise attack on Iran on June 13, an Israeli Air Force commander presented an estimate on an internal platform that stated that 10 Israeli planes could be shot down within the first 72 hours of the attack.
