Fighter jets bombed three targets in Iraq last week as RAF forces stepped up the fight against the so-called Islamic State.
Typhoons and Tornados, identical to the ones stationed at Lossiemouth, were involved in strikes against a bomb factory and weapons stockpile on the ground to thwart the Daesh terrorists.
Video footage has been released of a building containing weapons being obliterated by a strike last Monday.
The attacks have been hailed as critical in depleting Islamic State’s cash and equipment reserves while allowing ground troops to advance against them.
Last Monday, Typhoon pilots acted on intelligence to drop a 1000lb Enhanced Paveway II guided bomb on a large truck-bomb factory near Mosul in northern Iraq.
Spy planes had spotted terrorists taking up position in the building allowing them to be quickly targeted.
Two Tornados were despatched with bombs to destroy the building, but only one was needed to complete the mission.
The jets were back in Iraq on Tuesday, this time attacking a concealed weapons and ammunition stockpile to the south of Fallujah.
On Wednesday, the Tornadoes and Typhoons simultaneously attacked machine-gun positions and artillery in the same city with Paveway IV bombs to support Iraqi forces under attack on the ground.
Jets were also deployed to demolish a building in Mosul after terrorists were spotted unloading supplies.
The RAF has now attacked 51 targets in Iraq as part of the fight against Islamic State, including bunkers, tunnels and sniper teams.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon claimed the attacks showed Daesh was losing ground.
He said: “Our experience has taught us this fight will neither be short nor straightforward. But make no mistake, despite Daesh’s desperate propaganda, the reality is they are failing across Iraq and Syria.
“And now is the time to build on this momentum and we are looking at what more the UK can do. As action in Fallujah intensifies, our thoughts are with our 1,100 brave service men and women in the region.
“They are fighting not just for the freedom of the Iraqi people, not just for the security of our allies across the region, but for the safety of British citizens here at home.”
