But will land based jets based 600+ miles away be responsive enough now? Apart from the possible use of the RFTG, we are now clearing mines from Misrata, and (if you believe the media) we are considering using surface warships for Naval Gunfire Support.

If NGS is being considered, does it mean that Tornado et al cannot respond quickly enough to urgent (fleeting?) targets?
