Video : UK’s Typhoon Jet destroyed the ISIS rocket launcher with Paveway IV

On April 21, a Daesh rocket launcher in Iraq was obliterated by two Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets from the Royal Air Force [RAF]. This was reported by Britain’s Ministry of Defense

These two fighters were on a routine patrol day, their journey spanning across Iraq and Syria. Engaged in Operation Shader, they acted in harmony with the longstanding international coalition in the region. During the patrol, they detected a missile launch in the northwest of Iraq, targeting coalition forces.

In response, as the British Ministry of Defense revealed, the fighters quickly located the Daesh missile system. One of the Typhoon FGR4s deployed a Paveway IV laser-guided bomb, resulting in a pinpointed strike. Consequently, the Daesh missile launch system was effectively destroyed, as confirmed by the ministry.

During a recent routine Operation Shader patrol, 2 @RoyalAirForce Typhoons identified rockets being launched in Iraq against coalition forces.
