Question about fast jet response for ground forces

Hello all,

I was watching Ross Kemp in Afghanistan (great programme) and it struck me that there was a distinct lack of RAF fast jets. The blue-on-blue incident was committed by a USAF jet (don't turn this into a debate/argument please) and it was later mentioned that French jets were around.

My main question is:

Why isn't the RAF doing the fast jet responses for British forces in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Thanks,

Culio
