Tanks[edit]

Does anybody know if the danishs are using Leopard2 tanks in this operation?--84.161.112.221 (talk) 07:27, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Casualties[edit]

How many Taliban and Al-Qaeda etc were killed or captured in Operation Panther's Claw? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Raoulduke47 (talk) 21:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

British casualties[edit]

Where is the figure of 20 KIA coming from? The two sources that are given here do not mention Op. Panther's Claw so it's not clear how they are relevant. All this smells uncomfortably like the kind of original research that used to be produced by banned user Top Gun and his sockpuppets. --Raoulduke47 (talk) 21:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now I understand... LiquidOcelot24 has been banned as a sockpuppet of Top Gun. There remains to find the real figure, probably in the realm of 11-12 KIA. --Raoulduke47 (talk) 16:36, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
