True.

Surely more cost effective and just as accurate.
True but the Tornadoes are flying from Cyprus,our nearest base now we don't have a carrier or any planes to fly off it.
I doubt we have any drones based in Cyprus yet, they were being used in Afghanistan.But their Hellfire missiles are only about £50,000 each so a bit more cost effective.
