RAF Strike on ISIL 18 February (video)


19 févr. 2015 Royal Air Force

 

Royal Air Force aircraft have again struck at the ISIL terrorists in Iraq, hitting a mobile rocket launcher that had fired on Kurdish troops north of Mosul.

On the afternoon of Wednesday 18 February, two RAF Tornado GR4s from RAF Akrotiri conducted an armed reconnaissance mission over northern Iraq to provide close air support to the Kurdish peshmerga, who have conducted a series of successful offensives to liberate their countrymen from the terrorists. The Kurds reported coming under rocket fire, and after an intensive search the GR4s were able to locate an ISIL truck-mounted rocket launcher, and attacked it, scoring a direct hit with a Brimstone missile. The Kurdish peshmerga are also receiving infantry training from a team of coalition instructors, including British military personnel.
