F-16 Strike Reduces Islamic State Building To Dust
Published 3 years ago
Drone records the moment an Iraqi Air Force F-16IQ Viper completely demolishes an ISIS-held dwelling with a laser-guided GBU-12 Paveway II 500 pound bomb.
While the Iraqi Air Force has over 30 F-16 aircraft, their incompetence in basic maintenance practices has resulted in most of the planes being grounded and others being cannibalized for parts. Iraq's fleet of F-16 fell into such a state of disrepair that it is reported that they were no longer flying missions as part of Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve.
