1) Fallujah is much harder target than Tikrit:
Wikimapia - Let's describe the whole world!
Wikimapia - Let's describe the whole world!
2) Americans took Fallujah in 1 week (then several weeks they just searched for some hidden insurgents and destroyed isolated pockets of resistance). Total US loses were less than 100.
3) Iranian mullah led militias supported by their and Iranian air forces lost 1000 in 3.5 weeks achieving nothing (except destroying and burning small Sunni villages around). All their claims were BS as they began begging CC to start the bombings.
4) Now CC started bombing Tikrit. You had to do that from the beginning instead relying on Iranian generals who only know the human wave and clearing minefields with kids.

The OPFOR 10 years ago was poorly armed and were fighting like shit compared to today, they didn't modify trucks to armored suicide machines ( causing most casualties today ) making them a much easier enemy back than, neither fast mobile cars that ram into army units for suicide attacks. No manpads no ATGW etc. Yes US forces lose less due to superior training, better command, all of them have body armor and air support. No one denies they're more effective and efficient. Had the US been fighting in the battle of Tikrit they'd be flattening the city with artillery and airstrikes before moving in knowing it's full of suicide bombers.
In 2 weeks they managed to retake many surrounding villages, they entered parts of Tikrit and besieged a part without major air support. That's not nothing, certainly for fighters that aren't trained well, many of them don't know the rifle has an aiming sight to start with. Abadi requested air support btw, the leaders of militia's are against it for political rather than military reasons.
I agree.

UK to deploy Sentinel surveillance aircraft to Iraq - IHS Jane's 360
The UK is to deploy a pair of Raytheon Sentinel R.1 Airborne Stand-Off Radar (ASTOR) surveillance aircraft to the Middle East to bolster its support of the international mission against the Islamic State in Iraq.
The deployment, which was announced by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) on 26 March, will see the aircraft conduct wide-area airborne surveillance to provide pattern-of-life intelligence and to track the laying of improvised explosive devices.
Operated by the Royal Air Force's (RAF's) 5 (Army Cooperation - AC) Squadron based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, the Global Express business jet-based Sentinel R.1 is the air component of the ASTOR system. This system combines the dual-mode synthetic aperture radar/ground moving target indicator fitted aboard the aircraft with mobile Tactical Ground Stations and a containerised Operational Level Ground Station. This capability provides UK forces with the ability to conduct long-range, battlefield-intelligence, target-imaging and tracking, and surveillance.
Sentinel R.1 aircraft typically operate above 40,000 ft, remaining on station for about six to seven hours. The UK has five Sentinel R.1 platforms, which are slated to remain in service through to 2018.
Once in theatre, the two Sentinels will join the eight Panvia Tornado GR.4 strike aircraft, one Airbus A330 Voyager tanker-transport, one Boeing E-3D Sentry Airborne Warning And Control System, one Boeing RC-135 Rivet Joint intelligence platform, and two General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles that are currently taking part in the UK mission against the Islamic State in Iraq, dubbed Operation 'Shader'. These assets are supported in theatre by Lockheed Martin C-130J-30 Hercules transport aircraft.
While UK forces have been restricted to combat operations over Iraq only, the MQ-9 and RC-135W have been authorised to conduct surveillance flights over Syria also.
Separately, the MoD announced also that it is to help train 'moderate' opposition forces, sending around 75 military trainers and headquarter staff to provide training in areas such as the use of small arms, infantry tactics and medical skills.

Not a spy @finriswolf
#Iraq :Geolocation of airstrike on #ISIS in #Tikrit show Shia forces are far frm city center
They are not even at outskirts. What a miserable defeat for 30,000 army with heavy weapons.
All they could is destroying small villages:
