Een nieuwe NOTAM waarschuwt piloten om niet over een gebied te vliegen dat dicht bij de Iraanse luchtmachtbasis Nojeh in Hamadan ligt van 04:30 tot 14:30 UTC dagelijks, van 11 tot 14 augustus 2024, vanwege geplande geweervuur. Het getroffen gebied strekt zich uit van de grond tot 10.000 voet boven zeeniveau. Iran heeft niet duidelijk gemaakt welke militaire oefeningen er in het gebied gepland staan, maar Reuters meldde vrijdag dat tientallen Russische militairen in Iran worden getraind om het Fath-360-systeem voor ballistische raketten van korte afstand te gebruiken. In 2016 gaf Iran Rusland toestemming om luchtoperaties uit te voeren in Syrië vanaf dezelfde luchtmachtbasis in Hamadan, en het lijkt een waarschijnlijk scenario dat het Russische personeel de luchtmachtbasis Nojeh opnieuw gebruikt, dit keer voor trainingsdoeleinden.
