U.S. Carpet Bombs An ISIS Controlled Island In Iraq


Jerusalem Post: U.S. Air Force uses F-35s to bomb ISIS island

The Spokesperson for Operation Inherent Resolve, the 81-member coalition to defeat ISIS wrote that this is what it looks like when CENTCOM Air Force jets bomb a “Daesh infested island.”

US Air Force F-35s and F-15s dropped 36,000 kilograms of bombs on an ISIS “infested” island in Iraq, leading to massive explosions and plumes of smoke that rose into the air just before dawn on Tuesday.

In one of the most explosive videos to come out of the war against ISIS the US tweeted film of massive explosions rocking an island. Spliced between aerial shots of the same explosions, and video from the ground with Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Service members looking on, the island was pulverized. The Spokesperson for Operation Inherent Resolve, the 81-member coalition to defeat ISIS wrote that this is what it looks like when CENTCOM Air Force jets bomb a “Daesh infested island.”

Carpet bombing, also known as saturation bombing, is a large area bombardment done in a progressive manner to inflict damage in every part of a selected area of land. The phrase evokes the image of explosions completely covering an area, in the same way that a carpet covers a floor.

carpet bombing from an F-35. You mean where you can control the impact of each individual bomb to the foot? Scrumptious

Dino and I can't help it. I bet you that a Civil War troopie would laugh at us ( me and Dino), just as a Caesarian line troop would laugh at the Civil War guy. All the troops I've talked to are as good or better than we were, but one day they and what they did will be old and old fashioned, it's just the way it is.
