Flying missions to there from Cyprus feels like we are doing it just to show we can, surely that could have been handled much easier by the US carrier...
I wonder which countries we overflew to do it?
It's to show our support and prove we will get involved if asked/required. The US carrier could have flattened the place on it's own certainly. The Netherlands, Australia, Canada and Bahrain provided support as part of the mission as well.
