I sincerely doubt it, an expensive bit of kit to have orbiting over the bad guys at a low level.

We were once asked by the Yanks if we could orbit over an Afghan village pretending to be a gunship ‘for effect’ as theirs was u/s. When asked what the problem with it was they replied, ‘it got shot to sh*t over that village last night’.

The request was declined!
