The British government has authorized surveillance missions over Syria by armed and unarmed drones to gather intelligence on jihadists.
British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said that both types of drones (both Rapper and Rivet Joint) would fly over Syria as part of "efforts to protect our national security from the terrorist threat emanating from there," reports Reuters.
But he, in a statement addressed to the parliament, pointed out that "Rappers" will not be allowed to use weapons in Syria, for which "additional permission" will be required.
A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defense could not explain whether this meant that ministerial permission or a parliamentary vote was required.
Last Sunday, Felon announced that Great Britain is sending armed "Rappers" to the Middle East where they will carry out airstrikes on the positions of the Islamic State in Iraq.
Parliament voted last month to authorize airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq, at the request of the Iraqi government, but Britain is not bombing Syria.
Earlier it was said that the air campaign in Syria would require a new vote in the parliament.
