Abstract
The performance (or the lack of it) on 13 June 2025 was a repeat of 26 October 2024, wherein the substantial air defences of Iran simply succumbed against the Israeli onslaught. Within days of the current air campaign, Israel made the claim, which the second mightiest air power in the world, viz. Russia could not do even after more than three long years in the Ukraine war, i.e. the achievement of ‘air superiority’. How come? This work delves deeper to search for answers.
