For every hour those jets are in the air, they require maybe a dozen hours of maintenance. There is no way ISIS is so well equiped and competant they can keep a jet flying.
I wonder if they know how to mount/load and arm ordinance.
“There is no way ISIS is so well equiped and competant they can keep a jet flying.”
They are likely to use the jets on suicide missions. A really fast fighter bend on a kamikaze mission might penetrate even well protected airspace.
No one fancied that our passenger airliners would be hijacked and flown into business skyscrapers.
Anyone who remembers 9/11 knows that a suicide jet aircraft pilot is dangerous and powerful weapon. IMHO, that is what ISIS is doing, they are setting aside a kamikaze air force to terrorize the middle east with miniature 9/11 attacks.
