Al-Qa'eda gets the RAF's message
In Iraq the Australian SAS were involved in a scenario with similarities to the above. A patrol secured an Iraqi Mig base and encircled the resistance into a cement works, offering a surrender option. When the deadline passed they called in American F14's to make supersonic passes- after failing to break the sound barrier on the first, success occurred on the second, with the desired affect. The Iraqis surrendered.
Fair chance the SAS co-ordinated the RAF airstrike and pushed for the warning shots. SAS compassion in their last three conflicts is well documented in a recently released book The Amazing SAS.
The recent second deployment seems busy- in the field for just a few weeks and have been in the thick of it on a number of occassions with two minor casualties.
