New satellite images show destroyed Iranian F-14 fighter jets at an airbase near Isfahan, following Israeli airstrikes earlier this week.

The images, captured by the defense intelligence firm Vantor, show multiple F-14s damaged on the airbase’s taxiways, as well as damage caused to three aircraft shelters and another structure.

The IDF said on Sunday that it had destroyed a number of F-14 jets in strikes at Isfahan, along with detection and air defense systems in the area.

The US-made F-14 Tomcats were supplied to Iran before the 1979 Islamic Revolution and are believed to be the last ones still in operation.
