WATCH: Australian fighter jets bomb Islamic State targets in battle for Mosul

Seven News has been granted exclusive access to the Australian fighter jet footage of two deadly strikes on Islamic State targets during the battle for Mosul.

The footage some from a place no TV crew has ever been, HQ for Australia's Middle East Air Task Group.

Air Task Group Commander Mike Kitcher gave 7 News a glimpse into the pilot’s view of an Islamic State building in Mosul.

Australian Special Forces are watching too, through the cameras of a military drone.

They confirmed with Iraqi forces the enemy is firing from the building's Southern side as they guide the Hornet pilot.

“The Daesh fighters are engaging the security forces right now,” Commander Kitcher said.

That engagement was short lived.

The Hornet's 500-pound bomb leveled the jihadist's gun position in an instant.

Most of the tankers, the spy planes, the fighters on this airbase are from the giant US Air Force. Beyond them, Australia's Hornets have been the real heavy lifter, flying six days a week to hit Islamic State targets.

Meanwhile another two Hornets circled above an old chicken farm west of Mosul that was being used to create vehicle borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED’s).

The warcrafts unleashed five GPS guided weapons almost simultaneously, completing destroying the farm below them.

While they are as capable and deadly as ever, the Hornets are soon to be replaced by the pricey Joint Strike Fighter.
