rising 30,000 feet overlooking strong radar andwithout any hesitation on the plane the Air Force this Mtvhsa auditor deep in Syrian territory under it in search of targets on the ground in order tobe hit in preparation for the next attack to restore tenderness city which is the capital of the "state of Daesh" alleged . Several weeks ago, in a similar task for this, analysts are able to discover the hideout middle of the Syrian desert was "Daesh" reserves where tens designated for transportation of oil , which provides for the terrorist group , an important artery of life in the financial side tanks. On the basis of this information, as well as intelligence information again, it launched more than two dozen US military aircraft and managed to destroy 188 trucks and tankers in the largest air strike during this year, and thus wiped out for "Daesh" amounts of equivalent worth two million dollars almost oil.
US commanders say the air operations will have an important role in Syria in the coming weeks when the battle begins to restore the city of Raqqa, along with the continuation of the air campaign , the US - led bombing operations in support of Iraqi forces in their battle to wrest the city of Mosul
from the hand of "Daesh."
Currently besieging Rookies Affiliates Syrian factions allied with the Kurds fighters experienced, the city of Raqqa, but they remain need to bombings carried out by the allies to weaken the entrenched enemy forces there and taking them out of their positions, in addition to cutting supply lines which supplied from which "Daesh" with weapons and fuel and reinforce their fighters .
But with the lack of eyes that operate within the city it becomes difficult to estimate the enemy 's position, and US officials say.
Air operations a key element indispensable in the military campaign in Iraq and Syria ,which cost daily about 12.5 million dollars, it is through this effort possible to destroy hundreds of tanks and military vehicles, vehicles, command centers and placements enemy combat in addition to the killing of more than 50,000 terrorist, according US estimates.
Number of strikes carried out by US and allied aircraft since the beginning of the air war in the late summer of 2014 has reached about 17,000 hit in those two countries.
As a result it has lost the "Daesh" nearly half the territory it controlled in Iraq and Syria in 2014, but US and European officials say the threat posed by hundreds of foreign terrorists who would return to their home countries, as well as the expansion of " the succession Daesh" in the virtual world through networking sites , it will be magnified and accelerated despite the loss of "Daesh" actual territory of what it calls "caliphate."
All of this fuels the feelings of fear of the possibility of more attacks on towns outside the Middle East.
Has announced "Daesh" for example , it is responsible for the latest attack carried out with a truck on a Christmas market in Berlin, even though the link between the group and described the main suspect Anis al - Amiri, a Tunisian aged 24 years, is not entirely clear.
But "Daesh" aired a video clip after the killing of al - Amiri shown while declaring allegiance to the terrorist group.
President Obama , for his part pledged under the guidance devastating blows to "Daesh" in Mosul and tenderness before leaving office, and last month ordered 200 element of additional special operations of US forces into Syria to help local fighters who have been advancing on tenderness, and will raise the added number of US troops who are on the ground there until almost doubled.
However, leaders can not say for sure the level of support to be submitted by the president - elect , "Donald Trump" to rebel groups fighting the "Daesh" in Syria.
Progress on the military tenderness which is complicated by the dominant role played by the Kurdish groups that make up the majority of its fighters census of 45 thousand element apply to the city.
These are America 's most influential partners already in the address for "Daesh" in Syria because they are able to provide logistical support and means of command and control as well as their ingenuity combat.
However , the Kurdish fighters representing the point of view of the Turkish terrorist threat, and Turkey , a pivotal ally of America.
This diplomatic and military relationship shenanigans made some congressional leaders are expressing skepticism about the possibility of launching a decisive surprise attack on the capital "Daesh."
The city of Raqqa, census population who was 220,000 inhabitants before the war, almost equivalent to one tenth the size of the connector, but remains on the leaders despite this have to face the same challenges as trying to carry out air war while keeping civilian casualties at the lowest limits in the overcrowded city.
Says air operations team leader , "Jeffrey Haregeyan Jeffrey L. Harrigian" that there are other reasons to move careful, some of the buildings that have made it a "Daesh" Command headquarters maintained until immune from attacks to enable the Americans to monitor their communications and movements Mlakathm them and them to learn more about operations of the
enemy.
Despite this escalated air strikes in sync with the progress of the Arabs and the Kurds fighters Mguetrbin of tenderness and desire of the leaders in an escalation of pressure on Mosul and tenderness at the same time .
The last three months alone has seen about 30 percent of the total strikes carried out inside the tenderness and around which totaled 1300 strike since the beginning of the war
in 2014
says , "Brett Mcgork Brett H. McGurk" Obama 's envoy in the international coalition that is fighting "Daesh": " The pressure on tenderness we benefit because it compels Daesh leaders to come out of their hiding places and thus we have the chance to eliminate them. "
The mission to track enemy movements on the ground crew of a plane called "Joint Stars , " a Boeing 707 date back to the time of the sixties, but was re - alteration became filled with electronic equipment sensitive.
These aircraft can pick up contacts enemy or jammed in addition to drawing a picture of the presence of units "Daesh" on the ground in order to change the American fighters and bombers , and destroy them.
From the bottom of the belly of the plane , "Joint Stars" highlights the radar device in the form of emphysema - like boat penetrating the clouds and clouds and is able to pick up ground targets (and even airplanes and helicopters flying at low altitudes) from a distance of more than 400 kilometers in any direction.
Onboard working crew of 19 people belonging to the air force and the army to track clusters of dots that appear on their screens, these clusters can be groups of enemy fighters are with their cars, or girlfriend, or forces just an ordinary commercial vehicles.
So to distinguish them depends largely on where you pick up when these conglomerates and any time of the day.
Submitted "William Hartman," 39 - year team , "Joint Stars" commander says that the radar is capable of hating on this high altitude to track cars and airplanes slow movement of low - rise and smaller potential targets, such as people.
By changing the filters , installed on their systems , operators can on the plane to show the different sizes goals or the direction of its movement with different colors, all of which referred to the operations centers in Baghdad and Erbil.
Take off "Joint Stars" aircraft from a base in the Gulf and the duration of each task carried out over Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan could be extended to about 11 or 12 hours.
So the crew carries with them Fast food in their bags.
"Joint Stars" are not equipped with cameras to diagnose objects captured on the ground, so baptizing crew whenever they saw something suspicious to guide the march drone of the type Predator or Reaper to take a closer look.
This aircraft is of great value because each session of the sessions and staff survey , which it can monitor any area define them for a period of days, weeks or months , followers Activity "Daesh" to understand what the military calls "pattern of his work."
Aware of the elements of "Daesh" from experience that they are under surveillance, so they tried often deceive surveillance aircraft and then hiding in schools, mosques or resorting to camouflage and stealth. Analysts say that "Daesh" at one point seemed to be trying to smuggle weapons strapped under the soles of sheep.
A few weeks ago, when the intensification of the air campaign on the "Daesh" for theextraction and distribution of oil, analysts noted things that catches the attention of place in the heart of the Syrian desert about 56 kilometers almost to the north of the city of
Palmyra.
When comparing these images other radar images of the oldest of them picked up by "Joint Stars" itself or the means of exploratory imaging Other analysts discovered that "Daesh" trying to transfer most of its fleet of trucks and tankers transporting oil to the center of the sandy valleys unknown area of about 30 km in length and the same width.
For several weeks , analysts are watching remained secret tanks gathered a growing larger , trying to make sure that this fleet is due for "Daesh."
When Gen. ascertain the accuracy of the evaluation is to prepare a plan of attack code - named "Olympus".
Through waves of air strikes carried out on 8 and 9 December last 24 plane belonging to the air and sea powers succeeded in the destruction of 188 oil tankers.
In the beginning was hit empty trucks to scare drivers sleeping in Mkhadahm and caused them to flee, and it seems that the strike was not the failure of civilian casualties, says Haregeyan.
Right alongside a large part of the fleet of tankers "Daesh" and denying the terrorist group of the value of oil , amounting to about two million dollars, I want this strike to break the morale of the enemy.
Haregeyan says: "We have sent them a message strategy where we said .. Maholtkm was good but we found you, they continue to try and hide and we will find you
and Nstadkm."
