Update: air strikes in Iraq

Royal Air Force and other coalition aircraft have provided intensive air support for Iraqi ground forces as they continue to close in on ISIL terrorists occupying Ramadi.

A key requirement for the Iraqi units around Ramadi and in Anbar province is accurate intelligence on terrorist movements. RAF Tornado GR4, Sentinel and Reaper aircraft are playing a significant role in providing this with their combination of advanced surveillance sensors and precision-guided weaponry.
