US-led air strikes on Islamic State (IS) militants have destroyed four tanks and damaged another during a fourth night of bombardments in Syria.
...
The Danish government says it is sending seven F-16 fighter jets to join anti-IS operations - but only in Iraq.

I heard the Belgians are sending a fighting force...
Seems to me the US should be busy taking out every single piece of US hardware, equipment, weaponry, etc, that the Iraqi military left on the field when they broke and ran like the sorry cowards they are.
The party is about to get a lot more interesting:
Pentagon to deploy 12 A-10s to Middle East
http://thehill.com/policy/defense/218510-pentagon-to-deploy-12-a-10s-to-middle-east
I propose that all equipment the US doles out have embedded explosives we can detonate from afar.
“...Pentagon to deploy 12 A-10s to Middle East...”
**************************************************************************************
Now THAT’s what I’m talking about. Time to start destroying substantial numbers of actual ISIS fighters and their war equipment. Several AC-130 “Spooky” gunships could come in handy also.
“Pentagon to deploy 12 A-10s to Middle East”.......
I love the A-10’s although they are a bit “slow” compared to more modern day aircraft. None-the-less, they are sure as hell one mean fighting machine.
Living near an airbase where a variety of military aircraft practice bombing and blowing things up, I have watched the A-10’s do their thing and believe me, you would not want to be on the end of those fire breathing dragons when they come after you. Flying low and slow, the leave one pile of devastation when they leave.
Not IS tanks...stolen USA tanks freely given to ISIS by the Iraq army...highly trained for years by the USA at a cost of billions. Training Muslims is only giving equipment and training skills to the enemy...the Muslim state. But we never learn...now we are going to train Syrians in Saudia Arabia. It makes me want to scream! WHEN ARE THE IDIOTS PRETENDING TO RUN THIS COUNTRY GOING TO USE HISTORICAL MISTAKES AS A GUIDE TO ENSURE A FUTURE? (Or maybe this is Obama’s Muslim method of arming them against us?) Only non-Muslims should ever be trained or given military equipment. In business it is called “lessons learned” ... These incompetents make the same mistakes over and over...making one wonder if it is a mistake at all...or Obama’s ultimate plan of bringing down the USA.
Yup, there was a squad.based at Myrtle Beach.Used to watch them doing touch and goes, and simulated gun runs.
This is what is needed to really put the hurts on them ba$turds
They have tanks. You know, this entire ISIS thing can’t happen without 100s of millions of dollars being injected from somewhere. The smart thing to do would be to trace the $ supply and deal with the financiers. But, that never occurs because the financiers also own Presidents and Prime Ministers. Thus the people of Earth are constantly bombarded with created threats to keep wars and inflation in place. Defeat Isis and they’ll just get another conflict going.
Wow, that’s some good shooters in the video. Two things:
Sara Palin would love to do some of that when she’s in Texas and I’m sure they would love to have some of that capability up in Georgia on “The Walking Dead”.
“I propose that all equipment the US doles out have embedded explosives we can detonate from afar.”
I propose that all explosives manufactured by the major players have a sound signature that when matched with a coded frequency will explode.
This way the Israelis could send a drone over Gaza and using their technology would break the code and blow up every bomb factory.
They are the modern equivalent of the JU-87. If you have air superiority, it OWNS the ground.
“I propose that all equipment the US doles out have embedded explosives we can detonate from afar.”
I often wonder why we don’t do that. Or embed some kind of chip that would disable the particular piece of equipment upon a signal from afar.
It’s funny that A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft, just a month or two ago on the chopping block, are one of the primary aircraft being used in that theater, but are getting no press about it.
Importantly, a lot of the tanks on the ground are M-1 Abrams MBTs, so the US R&D types at DARPA are very interested in their battle damage from Warthogs.
Some wit observed: “Imagine shooting a grapefruit with a .30-06. An A-10 hitting a tank is nothing like that.”
It's closer to what happened to Lois Lerner's hard drive.
I agree. They discarded this equipment and we need to make sure it’s not used against us by those savages. We should now exploit the vulnerabilities of such equipment and transform it into scrap. And to bad if in use when we do so.
A pre programmed KABOOM when the A.....A..... phrase is used. The sound, smell and crater would be music to our senses.
Are you sure those captured M-1s are operational and maintained?
Mostly ISIS has Russian T-72s captured in Syria and from the Iraqi army.
