Syria air strikes: Isil feel “the full force” of the RAF in new bombing assault.Typhoons, Tornados, and unmanned Reaper drones launch fresh bombing raids against Islamic State as Defence Secretary Michael Fallon tells RAF crews they have the backing of “the people of Britain”
RAF fighter jets have targeted an oilfield held by Isil in the second combat mission from the British base in Cyprus.
Michael Fallon, the Defence Secretary, said Typhoon jets were used on Friday night, alongside unmanned Reaper drones and Tornados, as the terrorists were made to feel “the full force of the RAF”.
