This is really going to hurt me...
“RAF’s elite ‘Quick Reaction Alert’ force had taken to the air 64 times since 2006 - at least once a month - to head off Russian aircraft.”
2006, this was before Obama’s time, but maybe the number has increased dramatically since 2008.
It’s not just the “Obama factor”. Britain keeps downgrading its military capabilities since they are strapped for cash. Seems they’d rather keep the entitlement programs and avoid riots like France and Greece, so defense is getting the short end of the stick.
