Under what RoE would the Typhoon have engaged the tanks in that tank park? The tanks are clearly not flying and therefore not in breach of the NFZ and they certainly do not appear to be attacking civilians.

Do we have carte blanche to take out any military vehicles/assets without them being an actual threat to the rebels/civilians? It could have been U/S in a servicing compound. Taking out non-threat targets in a 'shooting fish in a barrel' way is hardly the stuff of what is supposed to a be a premier league Air Force.

The desperate need to show how the Typhoon is such a modern, multi-role aircraft is frankly embarrassing.
