For some time now Syria and Iraq have been a place where interests of many players are clashing. The region is being devastated by civil war or a war by proxy, fought by a number of participants, where the borderline between friend and foe is sharp or vague as the case may be.
An RAF Tornado jet was badly damaged after it collided with a stray dog while landing at a British airbase in Cyprus. The £9.4 million Tornado GR4 was returning to its base after reportedly fighting ISIS targets in Syria on Tuesday when the incident occurred. RT reports: The 14 ton jet needed “hundreds of thousands” of pounds worth of repairs, a source told the Sun, and was taken out of action. The plane was approaching the coastal base at around 200mph when a stray dog ran across the airstrip.
