It is never going to be for the UK.
With Ukraine you want the plane to take off from Ukraine, not the UK, or else it is seen as direct involvement. So the plane takes off from the UK, lands in the motorway somewhere near Keeeev and then the Ukrainian pilot hops on, to carry out the mission.
He then lands on the highway again, the plane stays still for the British pilot to get in, he does so, flying up to meet a tanker over Poo land to then get home by teatime.
He lands on a regular runway.

- michaelt 3y agoThe UK has 30 F-35Bs, ~50 RAF bases, and over 200 airports. (mostly hastily built WW2 airfields kept in operation by local flying clubs [1]) Every country within the plane's operating range except Switzerland and Ireland is a NATO ally. We can disperse the fighter jets without needing to resort to landing on roads.
