fter a more than decade-long
involvement in Afghanistan, the air
wings of multiple nations had
expected some respite from years of
combat activity by late 2014, as the NATO-led
mission completes its transition of control to
the authorities in Kabul.
World events do not tend to follow such
established military plans, however, and the
end of the conflict with the Taliban has
instead overlapped with a resurgence of
violence and renewed coalition involvement
in the Middle East.
Led by the USA, a large number of nations
are now involved in a campaign intended to
degrade the fighting capacity and also target
the leadership of the Islamic State militant
movement. Launched by Washington in late
September, the ongoing action in Iraq has
been expanded to include air strikes by
combat aircraft from Australia, Belgium,
Canada, Denmark, France, the Netherlands
and the UK, while Iranian McDonnell
Douglas F-4 Phantoms are reported to have
been separately involved.
In Syria, the USA has been supported by its
Gulf allies in conducting strikes on Islamic
State targets, with aircraft from Bahrain,
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates having been involved to date.
This widespread coalition which also
involves other nations not participating in
direct combat is a continuation of the
alliance formed by many involved in the
Afghanistan mission, plus others that had
