I think they've taken the field. Zoom in on the pitch.

#5 Like Yogi said, you can observe a lot by just running surveillance flights. Ground penetrating radar, full motion video, traffic analysis, target reference points, probably a bit far away for facial recog, but I'm told you can train a neural network to recognize people by their shape and gait.

As for being unarmed, you don't need a weapon to spot for artillery and drones.

It's nice to see the Brits helping out, but one can't help being a bit suspicious.
