Image: Israeli F-15 strike on Tehran on Day 1 of the war on Iran’s nuclear program

Update Mar. 8 19.00 GMT

The following drawing, exclusively prepared by Al Clark for The Aviationist, shows how an attack by a formation of F-15Is on a nuclear facility located in downtown Tehran might look like.

Obviously, it is only a fictional scene, however it is quite realistic for an eventual strike on the Tehran Nuclear Research Center, that is located not far from the Milad Tower, clearly visible on the background.

Someone might argue that the first and most of strikes would be launched at night. That is true, but it is quite likely that subsequent missions would be flown during daylight conditions too. Even the surroundings of the Nuclear Research Center are probably a bit different from those depicted, the payload could be different, tanks would be dropped, altitude should be higher and so on, but please take it just as an interesting artwork.

Please note that I’ve used the word “image” on the title because it is not a drawing, nor a rendering or a photo. It is a Computer Generated Imagery (CGI).

  1. it seems too low for me. i think the strike wouldd be from high altitude with intelligent bombs. but that’s just a thought

  3. How about a picture of the Iranian president on the phone saying he agrees to stop the nuclear weapon research and will open Iran to 100% inspections of their facilities 24/7.

  4. Did you not read!!!! Take the artwork for what it is……That it’s NOT a realistic or 100% fact this is how it will play out. 5 Stars for the Artwork!

  5. To be honest David you are really letting yourself down here, if we wanted starwars we would go elsewhere, what happend to all the useful and interesting FACTUAL information the would pour from this site..
