Summary
The possibility, however slim, that UK soldiers could be engaged in fighting in the Middle East follows Ukraine's very public revelation that British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles were used in a "massive" attack inside Russia.Less than two weeks ago, the foreign secretary said there were no plans to send troops to monitor the Gaza ceasefire - so is the UK being dragged into a situation it doesn't want to be in?
What is the extent of its role in these conflicts and what are the implications for our national security?
Niall is joined by Sky's military analyst Professor Michael Clarke.
