00:06our bases and protecting our allies. We've now flown over 650 hours of combat operations

00:19have now more RAF jets in the Middle East than we have had for 15 years. It's a substantial

00:35of British defence industry to provide more capabilities for our friends in the region
00:40to take down Iranian attacks.
