4:24Now PlayingSky News has been given access to one of the most targeted coalition military bases in the Middle East.
It is there that British troops have been tasked with taking down Iranian-linked drones and missiles.
And they have been busy: At the height of the fighting, they were dealing with 28 drone and missile strikes every day.
It is the first time the intensity of the conflict for British troops deployed to the region on defensive operations has become clear.
