If confirmed, the incident would be the first air attack by the Islamic State group....

No it wouldn't. They shot down a helicopter which was executing an air attack AGAINST them.

Their first air attack comes when their guys are flying the helicopters and planes.

Now, the ‘Iraqi Army’ probably won’t fly helicopters anymore.

One thing I’ve noticed about Islamists. They are COWARDS when it comes to a straight up fight. Sure, they’ll kill themselves to blow up a bus stop or a restaurant full of civilians, but they’ll run like hell or just surrender when facing actual soldiers on a field of battle.(unless they are fighting other Arabs)

The only thing they’ve ever excelled at is sexually mutilating/raping girls and innovations with belt bombs. I’m sure there are some good ones, as I’m sure there were some good Nazis, but for the most part they are a despicable people....
