The recordWhat this system is, where it comes from, who operates it and which of Vigil’s modules it is relevant to — with the evidence each of those rests on.
Record
Conflict relevance
This is the catalogue's single record for this system. It is relevant to the modules below; each module's Force Atlas shows how it is used there.
Operators
Israel and the Gulf: The Israeli variant, with Israeli electronic-warfare and weapons integration. · Israel and Syria: Reported in the December 2024 strike campaign across Syria and in subsequent operations over Syrian airspace.
Battlefield role
Penetrating strike and suppression of air defences at the opening of a campaign; the aircraft that goes first.
Strengths
Low observability against exactly the long-range air defences Iran fields, Israeli modifications the export standard lacks, and a combat record over three countries.
Limitations
A small fleet whose deep-strike missions depend on tanking and on enablers in short supply, and an aircraft whose every loss would be a strategic event. Numbers, bases and sortie rates are not recorded.
Campaign relevance
Derived: a participant organisation in these campaigns carries a typed equipment association with this system. That is not the same as documented use of the system in the campaign itself.

via Israeli Air Force (Documented)
Documented conflict use
Reported in the strikes on Iran of October 2024, June 2025 and 2026, and in the December 2024 Syria campaign; the Israeli air force publishes little and the attributions are reporting.
