Listen to the last episode:
RAF Typhoons fired in defence of Israel as part of a multi-national operation to stop Iran’s onslaught with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones.
A former fighter pilot tells Sitrep about the threats posed to pilots.

Sitrep’s Briohny Williams has been there ahead of the 80th anniversary.
