Reported today, thousands protest against air strikes against ISIL while UK MPs discuss. Watch and see how the vote goes.
Factual news reported through freedom of speech.
 
I saw this morning it didn't take long after the vote before the first airstrike took place. Were they in a holding pattern offshore?

They're only abut 316 miles away in Cyprus so they would have planned a what if scenario and had a man sitting by the big red telephone..By the time they'd rolled out and banked a little they would have been over target. Thirty mins or less.

Bombing won't --doesn't work you need troops on the ground and until someone bites the bullet and does that Isis will continue. Go Vlad.

Gt Britain is the next target and it will probaby be London or Manchester. Intelligence gleaned from Islamic State clearly indicates a couple of major cities will be hit and probably in the run up to Christmas when the streets might be more crowded than usual. New York and Paris again are also Primary Targets.
 
News today.
We've (USAF) expended our stockpile of bombs and missiles. More than 20,000. They are scouring the warehouses for things to drop and replenishment can't keep up. Reports say the 'blowing things business' is very good. :drunk:

You may want to rephrase that.

ISIS is 'planning to target Britain within WEEKS': European spy agencies have intercepted intelligence of a Paris-style attack, terror expert warns
ISIS has identified the UK as their next target, security expert has warned
He said European security chiefs have 'specific information' about plans
British jihadists in Syria are being sent home to carry out attacks, he added
Some 800 Britons have fled to join ISIS and up to half are back in the UK.

British-born jihadists who have travelled to Syria to join the extremist group and have been tasked with returning home to carry out a Paris-style terror attack within weeks, it was claimed.
European security agencies have reportedly obtained 'specific intelligence' that Britain is next on the ISIS hit list, with the risk heightened in the wake of the Commons vote which saw a majority of MPs back airstrikes on the terrorists' strongholds in Syria.
Warning: CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank said he had spoken to an unnamed 'senior European counter-terrorism official' who received intelligence that ISIS is 'aiming to hit the United Kingdom next.


He said: 'The intelligence suggests that British ISIS operatives in Syria and Iraq are being tasked to return to the UK to launch an attack against the United Kingdom.
He added: 'They are treating this very, very seriously indeed' but said 'it is not clear how imminent this threat is'.



During the debate in the lead-up to the airstrike vote, MPs were told that seven ISIS plots have been foiled in the last year, with intelligence agencies warning attacks are being orchestrated from Syria.
Last month it emerged that the number of Britons who have fled the country to fight for ISIS or rebels in Syria has hit 800. The defence review said up to 400 are now back in the UK.
'A large proportion were previously unknown to the police and security agencies,' the report said. 'Some of these, and many of those who remain in Syria, pose a threat to our security.'
European intelligence warns 'ISIS is aiming to hit UK next

Next on the list: The security expert warned the UK could face an attack similar to the one in Paris.

Mr Cruickshank pointed to the case of Aine Davies, a suspected associate of British ISIS terrorist Mohammed Emwazi, also known as Jihadi John, who was detained in Turkey last month.
Davis, originally from Hammersmith, is thought to have operated as a guard at an ISIS prison holding foreign hostages in Syria, and was arrested on his way back to the UK.
The security expert said Turkish authorities believe 'he was on his way back to Europe with attack plans from the ISIS leadership in Syria and Iraq'.
He added security concerns had been 'compounded' by the crunch Commons vote on Wednesday night.

"We're in the business of killing terrorists and business is good," Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said in statement. "We need to replenish our munitions stock. Weapons take years to produce from the day the contract is assigned until they roll off the production line."

I flew a training mission last night (C-5 Galaxy) and the ramp was totally empty. Virtually all our planes are gone, hauling stuff eastbound. I haven't seen it that empty in years.
 
The ducy of Lichtenstein sends 12 paper planes to fight IS.

They are of the most-feared A4 type which cannot be detected by radar.
Each VTOATA (vertical take off and throw away) plane is capable of carrying propaganda behind enemy lines.

By 2017 they´ll be supported by Lichtenstein´s A1 aircraft carrier accomodating no less than 8 A4 fighters.

Dave, if DHL isn´t delivering today we should both be a bit pissed off, shouldn´t we?
It would mean that I´d have to eat Susanne´s apple cake all by myself :drunk:
