Operation Viking Hammer: Black Ops Mission to Take Down Militants in Iraq

Operation Viking Hammer, a covert Black Ops mission launched in 2008, targeted high-value militants in Iraq who posed imminent threats to U.S. and coalition forces. Conducted by a secretive team of elite operators, the mission utilized precision airstrikes and ground raids to neutralize key enemy leaders. The operation achieved significant success, reportedly eliminating over 150 militants, including senior al-Qaeda and insurgent commanders. It demonstrated the U.S. military's ability to penetrate deep into hostile territory and execute high-risk missions to protect its interests and disrupt enemy operations.
