Northrop Grumman Corporation recently began flight tests for MQ-8C Fire Scout aircraft.

A Reaper drone shot down another with a missile in an exercise, the US Air Force revealed yesterday.

Two Sea King helicopters from 849 Naval Air Squadron flew as far east as Teignmouth, over Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, the northern Cornish resorts of Padstow, Newquay and St Ives, before a final sight of Land’s End, Penzance, Mounts Bay and back to Culdrose.

The Russian Blackjacks long-range bombers were not talking to air traffic control, making them a hazard to all other aviation, say the Ministry of Defence.

With the RAAF’s first two operational F-35 fighters arriving in early December, long-time critics have launched a fresh wave of claims that the aircraft is a disaster.

The Bristol site is not only making the LiftFan for UK jets, but for all F-35B jets on order across the world.

A new fleet of robots and drones designed to test for chemical agents, provide 3D mapping and identify casualties have been put through their paces by troops, police officers and scientists for the first time.

The deal, worth around £5bn includes the aircraft and a bespoke support and training package.

Dutch F-16 fighter jets will end bombing missions against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria at the end of the year, their government said on Friday.

The Russian military said Tuesday that while Syrian air defences shot down the aircraft, Israel was to blame for putting it in the line of fire.
