The U.S. will deploy a dozen F-15 fighters jets to the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey as a part of Washington's adjustments to an anti-Daesh campaign, a senior defense official said Friday.
“We want a greater density of planes sorties, greater density of intelligence assets on developing targets. [The] White House announced A-10s, which are already on the ground in Incirlik to help the counter-ISIL campaign and then F-15s are forthcoming to Incirlik to help anti-ISIL campaign," she said.
The Pentagon announced earlier this month that 12 A-10 warthog aircraft were deployed to Incirlik while F-16s already positioned there were relocated to Italy.
