The Iranian Police forces, in coordination with the IRGC, destroyed the US C-130 military aircraft during a series of joint operations targeting hostile aerial movements.
According to reports, the aircraft had entered Iranian airspace with the objective of locating a downed fighter pilot. It was identified and engaged in a joint operation involving Police Special Units and IRGC forces, leading to its destruction.
Local sources were also quoted as saying that a refueling aircraft belonging to the intruding US forces was shot down in southern parts of Isfahan Province in central Iran. The aircraft was reportedly targeted by elite Police commando units, preventing it from completing its mission.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Law Enforcement Command confirmed that a US C-130 support aircraft had initially been immobilized under heavy fire from Police Special Units before being completely destroyed minutes later.
Officials highlighted that precise monitoring of enemy aerial movements, combined with rapid and coordinated responses by Police and IRGC units, played a decisive role in the success of the operations.
