MoD Releases Video Of Latest Strikes Against IS

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has released new footage of the latest RAF air strikes against so-called Islamic State (IS).

The video shows two Tornados conduct a strike in the Euphrates valley on 9 September.

Each of the jets used a pair of Paveway IVs laser-guided bombs to target a large building, confirmed to be an IS command post, demolishing it.

On 7 September, a remotely-piloted Reaper aircraft flew an armed reconnaissance mission over the same area. 

Ten miles north of Abu Kamal, a mechanical excavator was seen being used by the terrorists to construct a roadblock 

A Hellfire missile destroyed the vehicle.

On 5 September, a pair of Tornado GR4s based at RAF Akrotiri, identified an IS supply point and were tasked with its destruction. 

The Ministry of Defence says that, after checks for any signs of civilian presence near the target, a single Paveway IV guided bomb was used to destroy it.
