RAF fighter jets shot down Iran drones, Rishi Sunak says
www.bbc.com
The MoD says the RAF will repel "any airborne attacks within range" of its jets in the Middle East.

"In a statement, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Royal Air Force (RAF) will repel “any airborne attacks within range” of operations in the region.

It is understood RAF jets have flown over Iraq and Syria, not Israel.

PM Rishi Sunak condemned Iran’s “reckless attack”, pledging the UK would “continue to stand up for Israel’s security”. "

    I suppose the justification is that they are trying to stop this escalating, which could kick off World War 3 (which is A Good Thing) but it doesn’t sit well with Ukraine not getting similar help (presumably also justified by saying they are trying to avoid World War 3). Damned if we do, damned if we don’t.

    Is the UK just removeded by America who are in turn removeded by Israel?

    I’m not sure I’m in just older now. Take me back to 2009. The we should have moved closer to Europe. The EU had problems, and still has huge problems. Only if we could have a do over.
