07-01-2015 – 14:40: Na 375 missies en meer dan 200 keer de wapens te hebben ingezet, keert deze week het eerste F-16-detachement uit het Midden-Oosten in Nederland terug. De jachtvliegers waren ingezet om ISIS te bestrijden.

Vandaag trad de nieuwe commandant aan onder wiens bevel het nieuwe detachement de taken tegen ISIS uitvoert. Met 6 F-16’s, 2 reservetoestellen en 250 militairen draagt de Koninklijke Luchtmacht bij aan de internationale strijd tegen ISIS in Irak. Dat gebeurt 24 uur per dag, 7 dagen per week. De opmars van ISIS en daaraan gelieerde organisaties, vormt een directe dreiging voor de regio en veroorzaakt instabiliteit aan de grenzen van Europa.
