¿que pasa cuando a un aparato que se le asigna una salida, no puede hacerla?. ¿Se queda sin hacer o se le asigna a otro disponible?

Bulk of the costs

Bahrain is understood to be paying the bulk of the costs for the construction of the new Royal Navy base with the UK contributing £9 million over three years.

Although Bahrain is expected to procure 19 Lockheed Martin F-16V fighter aircraft from the US under aproposed $2.8 billion contract, as well as upgrading its existing 21 F-16C/Ds to the same standards under a separate $1 billion deal, it has continued talks with the UK aimed at acquiring an unknown number of Eurofighter Typhoon fighters.

It is not known whether the Typhoons would replace the proposed F-16V purchase, or whether a small number of Typhoons would augment some, or all, of the F-16s. Forty F-16s would allow the retention of the two existing frontline F-16 squadrons, plus a training unit, or a strategic reserve, while the Typhoons could replace Bahrain’s ageing and dwindling fleet of F-5E and F-5F Tiger IIs.

The proposed Typhoon procurement is understood to enjoy the support of Prince Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Bahrain’s Crown Prince, deputy PM and deputy supreme commander of the Bahraini Armed Forces.

In November 2016, King Hamad reportedly ordered the Council of Ministers to transfer the file for the Royal Bahraini Air Force aircraft procurement programme to him and the RBAF air staff. Some observers took this as indicating that a Typhoon order might be imminent.

Wednesday 15 March: Iraqi troops in west Mosul reported encountering a former school compound and two neighbouring buildings now occupied by a large number of Daesh fighters, armed with light machine-guns and rocket-propelled grenades. Two Tornados attacked after dark, having conducted careful checks for any sign of civilians in the area, and hit the Daesh positions in the former school’s courtyard and the nearby buildings with three Paveway IVs, which destroyed the terrorist firing points.

Friday 17 March: Tornado close support missions over Mosul continued. Our aircrew again faced very challenging conditions with heavy cloud and having to engage targets perilously close to the Iraqi troops whom they were assisting. Nevertheless, five terrorist positions, including a mortar team, were successfully destroyed by Paveway IVs.

Saturday 18 March: A Daesh headquarters was identified at a small building five miles east of Raqqa, this was destroyed by a direct hit from a Paveway IV released by a Tornado flight.

Sunday 19 March: A busy day for both the Tornado and Typhoon aircrews over Mosul. Yet again working very closely with the Iraqi troops, they repeatedly struck Daesh positions engaged in extremely close combat with the security forces. In total, eleven Daesh targets, including sniper, heavy machine-gun and rocket-propelled grenade teams, were eliminated by Paveway IVs.

Monday 20 March: Action continued when Tornados bombed a strong-point in the west of the city, and Typhoons struck two Daesh positions, including one from which heavy machine-gun fire was being directed at the Iraqis.

Royal Air Force Typhoons flew close air support missions over west Mosul on Wednesday 22 March, in support of Iraqi ground forces as they continued to engage Daesh terrorists in very close combat in the city’s streets. Our aircraft conducted a simultaneous attack with Paveway IV guided bombs on two terrorist positions. The expertise of both the aircrew and the Iraqi troops allowed the attack to be delivered despite Iraqi forces being only tens of metres from the Daesh fighters. A second attack then eliminated a further group of Daesh fighters, armed with light machine-guns and rocket-propelled grenades.

The large truck-bomb remains one of Daesh’s favoured weapons. The extremist group uses them in desperate circumstances in order to try and slow down Iraqi troops or keep liberated areas unsafe. To limit the movement of these indiscriminate weapons, two Typhoons conducted attacks with Paveway IVs on Thursday 23 March against one of the main roads leading out of western Mosul and a number of surrounding lesser routes. They also struck a Daesh position in western Mosul, where several surviving Daesh fighters were seen to fleeing to afterwards, allowing the Iraqi advance to continue.

On Friday 24 March, a Typhoon flight, armed with Paveway IVs, targeted the entrance to a tunnel some six miles west of Tall Afar. Other coalition aircraft had successfully destroyed a neighbouring building used by the terrorists, but Daesh had also been spotted making use of the tunnel, most probably for ammunition or supply storage. A direct hit from a Paveway IV collapsed the tunnel entrance. The Typhoons then headed east to support operations in Mosul, where they attacked four Daesh-held buildings which the extremists were using to fire at Iraqi units. A second Typhoon pair were also active over the city. They provided similar assistance to Iraqi forces engaged in close combat, striking three terrorist positions with Paveway IVs. A flight of Tornados also patrolled over Mosul and the surrounding area, where they conducted a simultaneous strike on two Daesh strong-points inside the city. They then headed north-west to deal with a reported mortar team. The terrorists were spotted with a vehicle in rocky ground near the Tigris, and hit with a Paveway.

Armed reconnaissance missions continued over the weekend, gathering intelligence on Daesh positions in Syria and Iraq. On Monday 27 March, Typhoons again patrolled over Mosul, and used one Paveway IV against a building from which Daesh fighters were continuing to engage Iraqi forces. Over eastern Syria, two Tornados attacked a building in a remote area south of Hasakah, from which a Daesh mortar team was operating against Syrian Democratic Forces.
