I believe the bombs are precise to within a few metres what with GPS, laser designation and so forth. So then it's all down to the intelligence and the targets. If they're hitting ISIS oil installations in the arse end of nowhere then that seems pretty clear cut. Same as those who are actively fighting at the time.
Towns and cities etc, I'm not so sure they could do it without causing civilian casualties either because of bad intel or the weapon causing damage to people or stuff near the target.
My understanding is that the RAF is doing the former, whilst the Russians are doing the latter. The Russians do use GPS/GLONASS guided bombs though, I believe.

Totally agree with you mate. For the floods to 'destroy lives' people would have had to have drowned.
Syrian refugees would probably be happy to live in a flood plain in Cumbria if it meant they didnt get bombed
Im willing to bet that RAF actions have destroyed lives, innocent brown lives I mean not just the dangerous brown lives. And I knew that would be happening before Mr Benn had his 'astute politician' costume on for his speech in support of call me Dave.
Seriously, does anyone believe Raf bombs are smart enough to target only the 'guilty'
