The Israeli Air Force (IAF) claims that it destroyed the Iranian government’s Airbus A340 in a strike on Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran. Last summer, the aircraft had been part of an exodus of Iranian state-operated airliners to Oman, but its apparent demise now underscores the intensity of the current airstrikes against Iran, which have been systematically removing aircraft of all types from the Iranian order of battle.

Spectacular imagery showing military aircraft punching out flares is, by now, fairly familiar, but no less worth looking at. Much rarer, however, is to see a civilian airliner design doing the same thing. In this case, the Boeing 737 jetliner is in Polish Air Force service, but the captures are certainly highly unusual and bring attention to a lesser-known aspect of this aircraft, and other governmental and privately owned jets that are similarly outfitted with self-protection systems.

A U.S. Army CH-47F Chinook helicopter from Bravo Company, 1-214th General Support Aviation Battalion, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade, “Big Windy”, prepares to land during an air movement of a Congressional Delegation (CODEL) from Munich to the Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany, April 12, 2022. Two CH-47Fs were used throughout the mission to provide precision rotary-wing aviation support and enable the CODEL to observe combined arms training, meet with forward-deployed Soldiers, and receive briefings from key U.S. Army leadership. 12 CAB is among other units assigned to V Corps, America's Forward Deployed Corps in Europe that works alongside NATO Allies and regional security partners to provide combat-ready forces, execute joint and multinational training exercises, and retains command and control for all rotational and assigned units in the European Theater.
