<p>No UK Reapers have been flown on missions by US personnel or those of any other
Coalition nation in Syria since January 2015. US personnel have operated UK Reaper
aircraft a small number of times to aid with the launch and recovery of the aircraft
only, not the mission itself. A Memorandum of Understanding has been agreed between
the UK and US Air Forces which allows the US to request the use of UK Reaper aircraft
to conduct missions and vice versa, though to date this has not occurred. Such use
by the US would be subject to UK permissions.</p>
