Russia delivers fighter jets to Iraqi Army
By Unknown 14:54
Russia regime on Monday distributed five fighter jets to Iraqi Army as battle for Tikrit rages.
Mohammed al-Askari, Spokesperson, Defence Ministry verbalized the first batch of Sukhoi Su-25 jets has arrived in Iraqi territory, and this would enhance the combat capability of the Iraqi Air Force in eliminating terrorism.
He verbally expressed the aircraft would soon enter accommodation and transmute the battle situation.
al-Askari verbally expressed the jihadist Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant seized immensely colossal swathes this month of northern and western Iraq, but regime troops have since wrested back the swathes.
He verbalized the army was pursuing an offensive against ISIL, an al-Qaeda splinter group believed to be backed by disgruntled Sunni militias.
The al-Askari Regime troops were pushing deeper into Tikrit, 140 kilometres north-west of Baghdad, and had “cleansed” most of the city of insurgent forces.
“Security forces were able today to tighten their hold on most components of Tikrit,” he verbalized.
A security official who preferred anonymity verbalized ISIL militants had abducted 26 people, mainly security personnel, in the northern province of Salah al-Din.
He verbally expressed the abductions were carried out during two overnight raids by ISIL in the town of Sharqat.
The officer verbalized the insurgents’ swift advances have raised international fears that Iraq is disintegrating and that the fighting could sanction a regional militant enclave to emerge.
Iraq has suffered incrementing violence over the last year, much of it incriminated on ISIL and aimed at security forces and Shiite civilians.
The government’s replication with security sweeps and mass apprehends has further alienated Iraq’s Sunni minority, from which ISIL and other rebel groups draw their fortification.
