RAF Tornados used a laser-guided Paveway bomb to find and kill 30 ISIS fighters massing for an attack against Kurdish forces.

Monday’s sortie was carried out in support of an offensive by Kurdish fighters mounted against IS in the Mosul region.

The Ministry of Defence statement read: “The first flight used a Paveway bomb to destroy a mortar position which had opened fire on the Kurds.

“The following mission destroyed a heavy machine gun near Mosul with a Paveway IV, then proceeded west towards Sinjar.”

“There was heavy cloud, which may have encouraged the terrorists to assume that they were safe from air attack, but, working very closely with the Kurdish forces, the GR4s were able to guide a Paveway on to a large group of over 30 Daesh terrorists who were massing for a counter-attack.

“The Kurdish unit subsequently reported that the air strike had been highly effective.”

The Tornado patrol then destroyed another ISIS mortar position south-west of Sinjar, it has been reported.

A Tornado G4 patrol was able to guide a Paveway bomb on to more than 30 fighters from ISIS near Sinjar.
