It happened in the Mosul area, which has been declared the main goal of the campaign in 2016. Unlike Fallujah, located West of Baghdad, the attack on the city stalled, and the Iraqi troops are in this area a significant loss.
We will remind that on the territory of Iraq is about 4,000 American troops, including hundreds of fighters of special purpose parts. However, until now they did not take a direct part in the hostilities, limiting the role of advisers and trainers.
However, in the current campaign in Iraq, the U.S. armed forces had lost seven servicemen. The most heavy months were the months of April and may, each of which killed three soldiers.
The United States also increases air support units of the Iraqi army and Kurdish militants operating in Northern Iraq. A few days ago the coalition for the first time used attack helicopters Apache. Previously to missile strikes were involved strategic bombers B-52.
