Wonder why Iran is pulling out its 2,500 troops from Syria?

The Danish Government have today decided to send

6-8 F-16
Special forces(1)
And crew to maintain the F-16

(1) Their main objective is to highlight the target for the pilots
Secondary is to either blow things up or assassin high rank Daesh member.
They will operate of course have to operate inside Daesh controlled areas.

I wonder if this has anything to do with it Oberon. I've read other reports of him being wounded too!

Sure gemtlemen, all our weapons are totally crap and we own only 20 usable jets. Read it in the newspapers and repeat it dutyfully to adopt it.

Our well armed machine-uterus Troopers Ursel has broken all the good stuff, just after our Oil-Prince von und zu Copy&Paste has left a fully operational Bundeswehr in excellent condition, to be led by sinister, serious and stout Misèrable Tom doing an awesome job.

I would call them fully operational only if there are two complete engines in reserve. So I could argue anytime to be in need of taxmoney to get my other jets operational, if this would be necessary.

Assume we have 20 jets fully operational and 49 jets only partially operational, while 11 are in repair and 7 are only used for spare parts (you may search yourself for the actual numbers).
These 49 jets are totally capable of carrying ordnance into a fight as to be shot down.

But 49x2 is 98 engines to be bought for a "fully operational" fleet of 69 jets.
Well, thats all dead, spent money for the taxpayer, but profit for the engines builders.

Now guess what they do? And what is the situation with these sophisticated Typhoons?

Now I know exactly what Denmark are going to send as a contribution in the war against Daesh

7 F-16 latest version

60 special forces-from frogman corps and commando troops

A Hercules transport plane

Ground crew to assist the fighter jet and the transporter plane.

In all about 300 persons.

If I understand the article correctly Denmark is the country who contributes most if you look to the population

I wonder if it was linked in any way to the recent van bomb?

I know a few NI personnel and they still check their vehicles on a regular basis.

Could that actually be the first non Islamic entry in this threat?

Probably the first non-disputed non-Islamic entry.

And Jim, I'd not be surprised if it was, looks like we may be slowly sliding back into troubles, although so far it's contained in Norn Iron.
