Why would you police a no-fly zone with Jags?

My understanding is that the Sudanese (which I assume to be the aggressor at which this no-fly zone is aimed?) have in the past had Fulcrums, but there seems to be some doubt as to whether any are still flying due to attrition and spares problems. Also read somewhere that they have some old F-5Es and Chinese F-7s. Anyone have better (open-source) info?

Of course to police this area you'd need some sort of radar cover - now where did we put those flying pie-storage aircraft?

Op DENY-XMAS .... GO.

Good job we're just under-manned and not over-stretched, but at least the allowances will not be affected by recent changes to the system so no-one will lose out ...
