U.S. going cheap in military campaign against ISIS, at Kobane.....ONE strike a day. (AlArabia).
U.S. and other aircraft have dropped about nearly 1,000 bombs in less than two months, officials said. That number, described as “offensive munitions,” includes 47 Tomahawk cruise missiles fired into Syria on the first day of operations there two weeks ago. Each Tomahawk costs more than one million dollars.
The munitions used so far, including numerous precision-guided bombs and missiles, cost about $62.4 million, according to Central Command.
The figure for the cost of bombs used by naval jets flying off a U.S. aircraft carrier was not available.
As of Sunday, there have been more than 260 U.S/ and coalition air strikes in Iraq and at least 93 in Syria.
In Iraq, the most frequent target was near Mosul dam, with 98 air raids, according to the Centcom figures.
Aircraft targeted ISIS positions near Kobane, the besieged town near the Turkish border defended by Kurdish fighters, in at least 13 strikes, Central Command said. Hmmm....Apparently Kurdish lives aint worth much for the 'Coalition of the unwilling' Read the full story here.
