Watch four heavily armed B-52 and B-1 strategic bombers launch from England for West Asia, as a U-2 spy plane prepares for surveillance ops. This is RAF Fairford (near Oxford) at its busiest during major US military Operation Epic Fury.
Children's clothes have been hung at RAF Fairford in anti-war protests in memory of the school children killed in Iran.
The base is being used by U.S. bombers and other aircraft involved in the war with Iran - although the British government said it did not support the initial attack on Iran, it has allowed the U.S. to use its bases for what it described as 'defensive measures'.
Footage shows the crash of another American MQ-9 drone after it was shot down by Iranian air defenses above Bushehr, Iran.
The US military has lost 12 MQ-9 Reaper drones during the US-Israel war on Iran, according to US officials cited by CBS News, marking one of the most significant equipment losses of the war.
The total cost of the lost aircraft is estimated at more than $360 million.
MQ-9 Reaper drones are unmanned aerial vehicles used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, as well as precision strike operations.
These MQ-9 losses prove that Trump's claim that Iranian air defense has been destroyed is just one more Pentagon lie.
