Britain's RAF prepares for anti-ISIS strikes

Published on: 
 Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots are secretly training to launch air strikes on ISIS targets in Syria in anticipation of a Parliament vote to expand the UK’s involvement in the war-torn country.
RAF Tornado fighter-bombers are currently restricted to hitting the terrorist group in Iraq from an airbase in Cyprus. “We would be doing exactly the same job as we are doing in Iraq in a different piece of air space,” Air Commodore Martin Sampson, in charge of RAF’s Iraq mission, told The Times. “The target is the same: ISIS. We are very well versed at striking them and we would do exactly the same thing in Syria,” Martin said.
