Description

Unidentified RAF spokesman (?) briefs the media on activities in Iraq, highlighting their main targets as ammunition stores and Scud missiles as well as listing their successes: one third of key bridges has been destroyed. He says that a Tornado daytime mission was particularly beneficial and stresses that the sheer size of Iran means that even with patrols, some Iraqi planes will get through.
