If anyone can be arsed we can keep a tally of how much this latest f*ck up is going to cost the UK taxpayer.
With a price tag of up to almost £1m for some missiles, British military action on IS fighters in Iraq will not come cheap.

So far:
Tornado x4 return flight from Cyprus to Syria @ 3 hours total aviation fuel.
Each Tornado carried x3 Paveway missiles = 12 @ £30,000
Aircrew salary = ???
Ground crew, logistics etc. = ???
Does this count too?:
The MoD said 93 Brimstone missiles - each costing more than £100,000 - were fired in the year to September in military operations in Iraq.
And is it worth it?
