Monday 13 June – Typhoons provided air support to Iraqi forces engaged in close combat in Fallujah, striking five terrorist strongpoints…Whilst Royal Air Force Tornado GR4s have undertaken reconnaissance missions over Syria and Iraq, Typhoon FGR4s and Reapers have in recent days provided close air support to Iraqi and Kurdish security forces conducting offensive operations in Fallujah and around Qayyarah.

On Monday 13 June, a pair of Typhoons assisted Iraqi troops as they engaged in very close combat inside Fallujah. Our aircraft delivered four precision attacks, all with Paveway IV guided bombs, that destroyed five strongpoints defended by Daesh terrorists armed with machine-guns, rocket-propelled grenades and an anti-tank gun.
