November 27th 2014 – British forces have conducted further air missions to assist the Iraqi government’s military operations against the ISIL terrorist organisation.
Royal Air Force (RAF) Tornado GR4s, working in close conjunction with RAF Reaper aircraft, flew over northern Iraq in support of Kurdish peshmerga who have made several advances against ISIL in recent days.
The initial target for the Tornados was an ISIL fighting position, which was struck with Paveway IV guided bombs.
The GR4s then joined the Reaper in a combined attack on a group of 9 ISIL vehicles; a mixture of armoured personnel carriers and armed pick-up trucks.
The group was struck with a combination of Brimstone and Hellfire missiles, and Paveway IV bombs.
During the afternoon of 26 November, another RAF Reaper operating elsewhere in the country was able to assist Iraqi soldiers who were under fire from an ISIL position.
