I would have thought in the case of flooding there was plenty of
HUMINT available........
The only problem being that the EA, local and central government was not willing to listen, and act, on it weeks ago.....
Now that the floods, wx and damage has come to the attention of the PM the powers that be are finally switching from continuous transmit to receive.
Still, it does I suppose provide the govt with hopefully a justification to keep such capabilities as Sentinel and RAPTOR......not that I can see the strain on the defence budget being eased in any way. Maybe the CAS can use this to stop the disbanding of 5 Sqn when Op Herrick is complete.
