Jordan has released a slickly-edited video that shows its war planes being prepared for bombing strikes against Islamic State jihadists in Syria. The footage, understood to have been broadcast on state TV, shows troops messages on plane-mounted missiles before the fleet of fighter jets are launched from the base. The mission - dubbed Operation Martyr Moaz in memory of the pilot brutally killed by ISIS - is the latest show of force from the nation, which has promised a 'harsh' war against the terror group. It comes just hours after Jordanian fighter pilots made a diversion over the hometown of their murdered comrade, Moaz al-Kasasbeh, on their return from an air raid this morning.

Dozens of jets bombed ISIS training centers and weapons storage sites in Syria and struck targets neighbouring Iraq for the first time - intensifying attacks against the militants.

The assault came after Jordan's King Abdullah II visited the grieving Kasasbeh family in Aya village.

And, they are sending lots of airstrikes, dwarfing Zer0’s symbolic strikes today.

The Top Gun theme was a bit much when the King's plane took off.

Good. 50% of campaign against IS is about marketing. But they also need to be careful, Jordan has got lots of IS supporters inside the country similar to S. Arabia.

>> This is just the start, you will soon know Jordan...we will not stop until ISIS is eliminated. (paraphrased)

I like the sound of that.

Let's hope this will get them chattering, so they can be identified

... and "neutralised"

ISIS and a lot of the other terrorist/Mideast countries have been really ramping up the video editing. Someone’s getting some good payments for these videos.
