Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
ISIS reportedly has captured three fighter jets and is training former Iraqi military pilots to fly them.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the planes were taken when the terrorists captured the al-Jarrah airport east of Aleppo. The pilots have been making training flights around the airport in preparation for attacks on western aircraft that has been targeting terrorist strongholds.
“They have trainers, Iraqi officers who were pilots before for (former Iraqi president) Saddam Hussein,” Rami Abdulrahman of the SOHR told Reuters. “People saw the flights, they went up many times from the airport and they are flying in the skies outside the airport and coming back.”
U.S. Central Command would not confirm the reports of the ISIS pilots.
“We’re not aware of (Islamic State) conducting any flight operations in Syria or elsewhere,” U.S. Central Command spokesman Colonel Patrick Ryder said. “We continue to keep a close eye on (Islamic State) activity in Syria and Iraq and will continue to conduct strikes against their equipment, facilities, fighters and centres of gravity, wherever they may be.”
Social media accounts connected to ISIS have shown captured aircraft.
First of all what are the Iraqi soldiers going to show them. How to run from a battle? Secondly the second these old technology jets get up if they ever do we will blow them out of the sky with our advance F-18’s. Sometimes there is too much hype and it just gives the enemy a boost.
Jim & Lori. I wonder if Isis would have been involved in the Malaysian air that disappeared. Many of us believed at the time it had landed on an island, reprinted and prepared for further use…?
