No BAE Systems employees or RAF personnel on secondment to the company, operating under the long-standing Government-to-Government arrangements, provide direct support for Royal Saudi Air Force operational squadrons when engaged in the war in Yemen. They do not prepare aircraft for operations, do not load weapons, and do not get involved in the planning of operational sorties.
