I listen to (UK) ‘BBC’ news a few times in the morning, on ‘Sirius XM‘, during my daily amble. I am used to BBC news & I like that they give me world news.
This morning I was surprised to hear that the British RAF had been involved, ‘last night’, in shooting down the Iranian drones. I had NOT heard that mentioned in the U.S. media. I had to check. Yes, of course, the BBC does not get such stories wrong.
Appears that 4 RAF jets were scrambled from Cyprus to take part in the defense. It appears the British pilots had the MOST ADVANCED, night-vision, augmented reality helmets. Better than those worn by U.S. or Israeli pilots. I also read that the feeds from these helmets could be streamed over to OTHER pilots. How cool.
Way to go, THE RAF.
Suffice to say there is some pushback in the U.K. Yes, of course, many do not think this as a battle the UK should get involved in.
I, however, wanted to make sure YOU heard about it. SMILE.
