Good morning, FighterSweep Fans. There’s breaking news coming out of Turkey: according to local sources, a warplane has been downed near Syria’s border with Turkey. A few grainy, cell-phone-quality photos have emerged, showing what appears to be a Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer in flames prior to impacting the ground a short time later. We don’t know […]
Happy Monday, FighterSweep Fans! It was a pretty busy weekend, so we’d like to catch you up on some of the latest coming out of Syria and the Rules Of Engagement (ROE) for U.S. pilots. This past Saturday, the U.S struck an additional 283 oil trucks in the eastern part of Syria. That report comes […]
This morning I saw the current operations of the United States against Daesh referred to as “Desert Drizzle.” I nearly spit out my drink in amusement, because it’s absolutely the truth. In the twenty-four years since Operation Desert Storm, the decisive application of United States combat airpower has gone from the devastating force of a […]
As we alluded to yesterday, the U.S. Department of Defense is sharing targeting data and other intelligence with the French Ministre de la Défense about Daesh targets in Syria. An official at the Pentagon stated, “We will continue [cooperating] with a combination of coalition targets and specific French requested targets for the foreseeable future…We are […]
From the Bataclan Theatre in Paris, one of the first quoted attackers was overheard saying, “I am from ISIS” and IS on Twitter is saying that this is France’s September 11th. If this is Daesh, or simply another reckless claim from them, it is unclear and will be for some time. Daesh, or IS and Al […]
Outbound travel has been restricted, and the first city-wide curfew since 1944 has been enacted. Reports indicate 1,500 soldiers are being deployed to Paris.
Last Sunday, six Block 40 F-16CM’s from Aviano Air Base‘s 31st Fighter Wing deployed to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. After a brief Local Area Orientation, the Vipers pushed south and struck ISIS targets. This marks a rapid change of direction in Turkey’s policy of not allowing US assets to […]
Abu Azrael, the ‘Angel of Death,’ is the anti-ISIL hero that Iraq wants and clearly needs. Does ISIL’s ‘Desert Lion,’ Abu Waheeb, stand a chance?
One YPG member told me about a Daash fighter he shot four times with a Dragonov sniper rifle. The jihadist went down but kept trying to get back up.
Virtually every YPG fighter has a rule: Save the last bullet for yourself. In the war against ISIS, which they call the Daash, it is far better to choose your own way out rather than be captured by the jihadists and their so-called Islamic State. One source on the ground in Rojava (Kurdish-held Syria) told me […]
As the U.S. and allies falsely advertise restraint for a boots-on-the-ground initiative in Iraq and Syria, we can be assured that much more is going on behind the scenes—preparations are undoubtedly in the works for a full-scale operation. Currently, there are approximately 1,500 U.S. troops in Iraq aiding the Iraqi military in objectives as far-reaching as the ISIS-controlled […]
On 23 September, a coalition led by the United States began an aerial bombardment campaign against ISIS targets in Syria. The strikes come as a response from the Obama Administration to the growing threat of both ISIS and other extremist groups training and operating out of Syria. A video released by the Department of Defense […]
