Light helicopter firing on IS running from the cars

Saudi to appoint military attaché to Iraq Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Iraq Thamer Al-Sabhan announced on Tuesday that the kingdom intends to appoint a military attaché in Baghdad. The announcement came after his meeting with Iraqi Defence Minister Khaled Al-Obaidi in the Iraqi capital...

Many forces go training with others to learn things from others, it's not one-sided or the main training hub for ISOF or other forces. This is often misunderstood.

Post 2004 the US planned and trained the ISF as a counter insurgency operations (COIN) force, small scale non-conventional battles. Only after 2014 they had to transform the army into a force that fights conventional war as this current war is, that's why it took time before things started to...

lol

Smaller number of vechiles that managed to escape the convoys into the desert destroyed by the CH-4. Some IS members had to flee on foot after losing vechiles (as seen in the video as well), died of thirst in the heat.

A-10 gun run on the convoy

Kind of idiotic from IS but they had no choice but to use big convoys in attempts to push through ISF defense lines, I guess they had to bet on not being targeted from the air. Coalition footage, A-10 30mm gun used to strafe them.

Final report. Whilst people might not believe it the large scale of IS convoys were stated by US officials as well, Brett Mcgurk. Video that shows how long one of the convoy is. It also shows how big IS actually is, not just a little tiny group that managed to take over all that land. Those...

They were Iraqi air strikes not US. Media made a mistake again whether intentional or not I won't know. https://defence.pk/threads/video-iraqi-airstrikes-kill-250-is-fighters-in-is-convoys-of-127-is-vechiles-in-anbar.437146/

Not that vid, this. 12KM long convoy Anyway remembering some of your old posts you obviously won't like this news.

They're Iraqi air strikes from MI-35, MI-28, Bell 407 and EC-635. Media has been calling it US airstrikes though using video's from Iraqi planes. See thread I posted https://defence.pk/threads/video-iraqi-airstrikes-kill-250-is-fighters-in-is-convoys-of-127-is-vechiles-in-anbar.437146/

The worst thing is.. the media in the west reported it as coalition air strikes whilst they didn't do anything during this attack. Example reuters calling it US air strikes whilst they're Iraqi air strikes, credit taken by another...

Su-25's with rocket pods could cause a lot of damage to that, not sure why they weren't used maybe they were. The coalition air force should've acted on this, no idea why they didn't but they seem selective with their campaign, clearly tied to politics. They either want to stall Iraqi military...

The news was reported on several news agencies but I didn't want to report prior to seeing evidence, carried out by the army aviation (helicopters). It was said that the coalition air forces did not want to strike this convoy for some reason, it wouldn't surprise me as they didn't strike a...

IS convoy was struck and destroyed by IQAF.

dual control versions, for training I guess
