The unmanned drone, which is thought to have been piloted from 7,000 miles away from the Creech Air Force base, Nevada, has the advantage of being able to locate and monitor targets while airstrikes are planned.

It is believed to have taken off from the Incirilik airbase in southern Turkey. The Turkish authorities have given Washington the green light to launch warplanes from the base.
The base, which is just outside the town of Adana, is around 30 miles from the border with Syria and 200 miles from the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa.

The unmanned aircraft are controlled via satellites, which stream real time pictures back to the pilot in the United States. According to the US Department of Defence, the MQ-9 Reaper drone ‘is designed to execute time-sensitive targets with persistence and precision’.

It has a range of about 1,150 miles and can fly at 230mph up to a height of approximately 50,000 feet. The aircraft has the ability to linger over its target for up to 24 hours.
Former drone pilot John Reed spent six years spying and attacking Islamist extremists in Afghanistan, Somalia, as well as ISIS fighters in Syria, from the Creech Air Force base.

He told the Telegraph how several people would crowd around his screen when the operation was targeting a well known terrorist. Sitting thousands of miles away from their target, he used a joystick to control the Predator drone and fire laser guided Hellfire missiles at his enemies.

He and his fellow drone pilots would not only linger to view the destruction on their monitors, but also the funeral to spot any future targets among the mourners.
Raffaello Pantucci, the director of International Security Studies at the Royal United Services Institute – a defence and security forum – said the strike could only have happened using 'local' intelligence to track his movements.

He said: 'The agencies that have been watching have been watching for some time and trying to corroborate from above with people on the ground.
'But they would wait until people are in a clear space to minimise civilian casualties before ordering the strike. The US has showed that it can target people like this, they have done this in Pakistan and Somalia for a long time, and relies on these kind of surgical strikes.

Amerikanci ubili "Jihadi John-a". Kažu da su 90% sigurni da je on, što znači jest. U gradu Raqqa, drone ga pratio kako izlazi iz zgrade, ulazi u auto i auto otišlo u prah.
Što znači da imaju masu svojih doušnika na terenu sa kojima su u live vezi.

Bošnjaci izdaju svoje i rade za zapadne tajne službe. Alijini suncokreti.

Markane ispravak, nije saka nego desetine milijuna, vjerovatno i stotine.

Da čini se da i Ameri ozbiljnije udaraju

U zračnom udaru uništeno 116 ISIS-ovih cisterni punih nafte.
U napadu u blizini Albu Kamala, grada u rukama islamista na granici s Irakom, u nedjelju je razoreno 116 cisterni koje su teroristi koristili kako bi prevezli naftu proizvedenu u Siriji

Turci. Jeftina je, pa prodaju dalje.

Financiraju ih i bez toga, javna tajna.

Nebitno je to, ISIL bi držao vlast i da samo jedan $ imaju. Previše je sunni muslimana koji će radije biti gladni nego izgubiti svoju allahovu državu.
Treba ih pustiti da gladuju i da se pate. Kad tako hoće.
