What are you talking about?

We have people based in Raf Waddington in Lincolnshire whose job is to fly Reaper drones over Syria and other places to ruin people’s days, which are backed up by Electronic Intelligence collection planes, such as the Sentry or Rivet Joint planes. 54SU (based a couple of miles from Wadders) is tasked with intercepting, collecting, and analysing U.K. airborne electronic information (transmissions between aircraft and ground).
Besides delivering unexpected surprise packages to insurgents, Reapers also have extensive electronic intelligence collection capabilities, which interpreted by the people from 54SU, will help pinpoint the rapscallions location.
(All this is surmise, obvs., based on previous knowledge and gossip from ex-colleagues)
