Global powers have unleashed a mighty arsenal against ISIS
France, Russia, the United States and the UK have all vowed to step up their battle against the evil terror group, deploying spy planes, bombs and nuclear attack submarines as part of their effort.
French President François Hollande has waged a "merciless" war against ISIS after 130 people were slaughtered in the French capital by crazed jihadis.
The French arsenal also includes a Frigate warship, nuclear submarine, KC-refuelling tanker and two Atlantique surveillance aircrafts.
Global forces have united in the battle against ISIS
Russia, which is said to have obliterated more than 2,000 jihadis in its deadly bombing campaign in Syria, has by far the most extensive arsenal in the battle against ISIS.
President Vladimir Putin has over 5,000 boots on the ground in Syria, while the Russian military boasts 32 combat jets, 42 armoured vehicles, 16 helicopters and two warships in the Caspian Sea.
The US, which is spearheading the coalition bombing campaign in Syria, has 3,500 troops in Iraq and 5,000 in Kuwait.
US airpower includes 12 drones, 10 surveillance and spy planes, six helicopters and an array of fighter jets.

Russia has launched a merciless bombing campaign in Syria
While Britain is yet to join Russia, France and the United States in the aerial bombing campaign against ISIS in Syria, its armed forces are poised for a change in defence policy despite cuts in defence spending.
The army currently has eight RAF Tornados and two voyager refuelling tankers in Cyprus, as well as a GCHQ listening station.
The UK also has 10 Reaper drones in Kuwait, one spy plane in Qatar and 300 troops in Iraq and Kurdistan.
The West's enemy ISIS is said to have between 20,000 to 30,000 jihadi fighters in Iraq and Syria, as well as over a thousand armed pick-up trucks, more than 500 armoured vehicles and 20 to 30 tanks.
