[GD on Wheels]

Latest is that Iraqi pilots who defected to IS are training people to fly three captured fighters.
They won't last two minutes in combat.

What makes you think their intention is combat, all they need to do is make to their target of choice then Kinetic energy, some leftover fuel an possible some explosives will do the job for them.

Or mount some of those chemical weapons on the hardpoints & overfly a major city before they get shot down.Wouldn't be too hard to modify a couple drop tanks with a spray system.

Should be easy enough to find where they are keeping those fighters, every place that could be used as an air strip s no doubt being monitored 24/7 now that they know the aircraft exist so a quick straffing job or a couple of well placed smart bombs would eliminate the threat.

More "Lets panic people" crap from the Beeb.
