- Summary:
- A report on the 14-month-old air war against ISIS (ISIL, Daesh) from inside the military operations floor at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. Every plane flying over Iraq and Syria is being tracked from here. 60 MINUTES cameras capture a B-1 bomber, in real-time, striking a car-bomb factory with secondary explosions indicating explosives were inside. The air war costs the U.S. $10 million a day, launching aircraft from bases in Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Turkey. The estimated number of enemy fighters remains unchanged, twenty to thirty thousand, because ISIS has been able to replace the dead with new recruits. Includes interviews with: various American air crew flyers (unidentified due to potential death threats); Lieutenant Colonel David Haworth; and Lieutenant General Charles Brown, commander of the air war.
