39 Sqn’s Reapers have supported ISAF operations within the AO and in one mission were requested to engage enemy forces conducting a hostile act against ISAF Ground troops. Similarly, it was an extremely busy week for the Tornado GR4s of 12(B) Sqn in support of the IJC top priority, Op HAMKARI, bringing about their first Kinetic activity, several GCAS scrambles and Shows of Force (SoF).
