This is what could be tracked online, flying over Iraq in the night of Jun. 14, 2016.

Flightradar24.com can show the air war against Daesh in real time.

Here’s what one of our readers spotted over Iraq in the night of Jun. 14 while some ISIS targets were probably being targeted or spied.

Tanker (RAF), tanker (RAAF), USAF ISR (Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance) aircraft, and probably some ELINT stuff (the no callsign one).

Here are the screenshots.
