Mosul's urban warfare lessons for Gaza | Sitrep podcast
124Award-winning Sitrep brings you discussion and analysis on defence, foreign policy and the stories affecting the British forces, presented by Kate Gerbeau, with expert analysis from Professor Michael Clarke.
Israel’s mission to destroy Hamas has some parallels with the battle to liberate Mosul from the so-called Islamic State terror group – tens of thousands of fighters among a densely packed population of around two million citizens.
Major General Rupert Jones, who was deputy commander of the anti-IS coalition, shares the lessons from Mosul, and Professor Michael Clarke assesses how they do, or don't, apply in Gaza.
The RAF's next generation of drone, Protector, has arrived in Britain for the first time. We'll explain what it can do.
And as Robert Courts MP becomes the new chair of the Commons Defence Committee, we ask one of his predecessors whether the group can make a difference, or are just a talking shop.
