  1.  @afcgeo882  it is pretty normal, just a higher sortie rate.

  2.  @chrisward7582  They aren't here as a deterrent to attacking the UK, but for places further east. We are a staging post not the area to be protected

  3.  @chrisward7582  It's a credit to the US, but they aren't here defending the UK. The UK itself has jets on the Russian border. Together we are defending our allies. The US is important to NATO but just European NATO outmatches Russia. Unity is whats important.

  4. It'd be an easy way to take out some of there jets. It.also wouldn't happen.

  5. No one has the same capability as the USAF but they aren't the competition. We can can act alone in a lot of situations and compared to the vast majority of countries we at still a big player.

  6.  @ghostwriter2031  every country except the US can can only act in a limited manner. We can handle basically any threat to the UK, because no one (except the US) can project an large force across distance at sea.

  7. Basically flying at an unsustainable sortie rate. Your not keeping up with maintenance but putting more jets in the air for a key time.
