While all eyes are on Northern Syria, ISIS are getting closer to Baghdad airport. They are armed with MANPADs too just to make it even more inconvenient.

Are they the male equivalent of a pantie-liner? If so, did you mean "incontinent"?

Here's my definition of inconvenient. This is what happens when you deploy helicopters without ground support (Edit: This is a Mi-35 that was shot down on the 3rd, Edit2: Firing a Chinese FN-6):
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I imagine it wont be long until they shoot down some of the Apache's the US is planning to deploy either. Does anyone remember Karbala 2003 I wonder? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_attack_on_Karbala

They still have a manned US base at Baghdad airport. Wouldn't worry too much about those Apaches coming to harm beyond it.

Well this is embarrasing for Iraq. Their 3rd largest military base, Hit, has fallen to ISIS.

Jesus wept once the army had withdrawn why not just wipe the base out from the air and kill a fuck ton of isis in the process?
Are we trying to lose this on purpose or we have a bunch of useless fuck heads in charge?

An air strike was requested from coalition forces but was denied. I'm guessing ISIS have moved all the kit by now. Don't forget the ISIS commanders are ex-Sadam era senior military too. Plus the Iraq army is a demoralised mess without any solid leadership. It's not surprising or new that they ran.

E-8's are only any good at finding tanks actually conducting combat operations (i.e. moving) in a recognisable formation (remember this is a cold war platform, although they are working on replacing it). If you've got a lone tank parked in the local market until ISIS fancy a pop at some Kurds JSTARS isn't going to find it for you (Well it'll show up as a blip on the SAR scan, along with a thousand others just like it). Once you've actually got it trundling about blowing holes in the local village, then it'll get spotted and an airstrike package will (hopefully) get designated.
If you want to find stored/camo'd/etc ground assets you need special forces on the ground to call it in.

I don't think ISIS got their hands on any of the F-16's the US were in the process of sending (I'm not even sure they've left the States yet). These are more likely some of the 5 SU-25's Iraq bought off the Russians.

Better info from the Independent. Seems they are captured Syrian jets.

If those pictures are accurate then I highly doubt a handful of mig-21s are gonna swing the balance against the USAF.

A bomb was dropped. A mess was made. A very big mess by the looks of it. |

B-1 bomber. Handy tool for this sort of conflict.

The B-1 doesn't rank especially high on the "low-observable list", I was thinking more about its loiter capability and guided bomb capacity.

Bring back B52 carpet bombing. Take whatever old shit they've got lying about in the warehouses Stateside and just unleash. Call it a decluttering exercise.
