I would never diminish the contribution of any nation towards a true peace keeping agenda... no matter how small.
The U.K. does not stand alone in actively participating in what many see as "policing the world," many other countries make at least nominal contributions... stop listening to political activists and you'll find those for and against the alliance relationship are worried about different things that won't ever work together.
Nevertheless, certain cumulative disproportions have come to the attention of too many civilian tax-payers to remain untouched by the narrative.
Each nation, however apportioned of economic systems and resources, is implicitly responsible for an uninterrupted defense effort, no?

Yeah, if you say so Maxmars, if you say so...

Your post was quoted from the Sun FFS.
All Yemen Air Strike info is easily searchable mostly on Wikipedia, LOL well it is in the US.
It might not be for you guys in foggy Mozambique.

As I said , other sources are available. The Sun's source was the RAF.
Your links do not give operational details in real time.
I now know why I am called a grown up. Every time I get up I groan.

Yes, I am serious.
What are you failing to understand about your sources not giving "operational details in real time"?
This is rather different to the Signals debacle, which did.
Spot the difference?
Your latest source seems to date back to June, last year.

Yeah, I call BS what are the "operational details in real time" that ARE NOT in the Wikipedia and UK GOV links and elsewhere, that were in my post?

Sigh. If you really can't see the difference I can't help you.
You can lead a horse to water.....

When there is nothing of substance remaining it's a common technique to question sources and fall back on worn-out and tired cliches...
Sigh, indeed...

You questioned my source.
Still not getting the difference between "real time" security breach and after the event reporting?
That is the point.
