The U.S. Army unleashed the famed AH 64 Apache gunships in support for the Peshmerga and Iraqi forces in the battle for Mosul against the Islamic State (ISIS); 101st Airborne Division commander and commander of the Combined Joint Forces Land Component Command-Operation Inherent Resolve, U.S. Army Major General Gary Volesky confirmed the gunships have entered the battle for Mosul on Wednesday.
Maj. Gen. Volesky said of the Apache gunships,
“They’ve been flying at night, supporting any nighttime operations that the Iraqis are doing. That platform has a lot of capability to see a long range at night and use its weapons system in a stand-off capacity to strike targets, and that’s what they’re doing.”
