They will be armed with the latest "fire and forget" laser and satellite-guided missiles, making them 100 times more powerful than those used in the Gulf War.

Well Hello Brits .. glad your on our side

Honor and duty first, let us not let lady truth be soiled by anyone around.

The Brits have been with us in the Northern and Southern fly zones since inception.

Welcome to the Party!

[Dog Gone]

Please don't lead the air blitz. We can take turns sharing the fun!

Way to go, RAF!

Thanks!

Let the games begin.

Tornados, Jaguars and Harriers have a fortnight to prepare to fly to the Gulf.

I love it when the British press uses words like "fortnight". :-) Help me out, Ivan... "Jaguar" is properly pronounced "JAG-u-ar", correct? Well, regardless:

Send her Victorious,
Happy and Glorious

The Harriers will be able to launch strike missions from makeshift runways in Iraq.

There is a limitless supply of hype about strategies and tactics for the upcoming operations in and around Iraq. However, just as an American base was placed in Afghanistan in Kandahar as recommended--the strong point of the enemy-- bases will be built in Iraq. Once there are bases in Iraq, the question of using bases in friendly countries will be moot.

The Brit Tornados can be fitted with an awesomely effective runway cratering bomb dispenser. It is the size of 2 single beds end to end and the Tornado is the only aircraft that can cary it. That is one of their special tasks in a NATO war, destroying opposition airports.

Last time around, they took out every runway in Iraq in the first 2 days.

Dear Ivan,FR is supposed to be a serious web site,so posting articles from that idiotic daily The Sun,should be avoided!

Why?Well,as usual,USA will will have 600+ planes ,RAF 20+ but "RAF will lead the attack!"LOOOOOOOOL

Secondly,in operation Allied Farce,RAF achieved an astounding succes:managed to hit total of 12% targets with their guided weapons!

This ignoramus that had writen this article should have known that Harriers were using Maverics over Yugoslavia allready!Sadly,majority of this missiles ,just like Paveways were dumped into Adriatic because Harriers couldn`t land with "live" ordnance!

Much grater succes was achieved by RAF in droping cluster bombs on city markets full of people."It went astray",of course!How can a dumb bomb miss a target for 6 miles,is beyond me?Better luck with Iraqi markets,next time!

And,there is no "fire and forget" laser guided weapon.Only a GPS guided belong to that category!Like the ones that destroyed Chinese Embassy in Belgrade.So,advice to foreign diplomats in Bagdad(ChineesemGerman,French,Indian and Russian):send USAF and RAF the latest Bagdad City maps(for tourists) or take cover!

And,finally,bombs are not "100 times more powerfull" just a little bit more accurate,OK,Mr. Kavanagh,you idiot!

Ivan,The Sun is the lowest of the low in yellow press and tabloids,and shouldn`t be a source quoted anywhere!

Anyway,I am glad the Iraqi War and expected slaughter is "such a fun"!

Enjoy it!

The nations not so blest as thee,

Must in their turn to tyrants fall,

Must in their turn, must in their turn,

To tyrants fall,

While thou shall flourish,

Shall flourish great and free,

The dread and envy of them all.

Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
