A British Air Force drone has fired missiles at ISIS terrorists trying to build a new burrow in Iraq.
The British Royal Air Force blew up an ISIS den with “Hellfire” missiles while the militants sought to establish a new foothold in Iraq. The attack also involved other fighter jets from the Western forces alliance fighting ISIS. The Ministry of Defense announced that they were waiting for the “appropriate opportunity” when the terrorists were exposed in an open area away from civilians, and then the UAV carried out a successful attack alongside the other coalition planes. “
The Daily Mirror reports that the terrorists were eliminated before they could pose an active threat to the Iraqi people. The UAV Ripper is remotely operated by a team of three people who can be grounded thousands of miles away. Armed with four missiles it can remain flown at 30,000 feet for more than 12 hours, gather intelligence and fire at enemies. Just unveiled, it came at a time when ISIS extremists were trying to return to the former strongholds of their caliphates across Iraq and Syria.
The report comes after two people were killed and four were injured yesterday after jihadists planted roadside bombs in two places in northern and central Iraq. Against this background, ISIS attacks in Afghanistan have intensified since the Taliban seized control following the departure of America. An ISIS group attack last month killed two people and said it was “revenge” for insults uttered by members of India’s ruling party against the Prophet Muhammad.
