Typhoon jets based in Romania have been launched in response to two suspected Russian Su-30 Flanker aircraft operating near NATO airspace over the Black Sea.

The Royal Air Force announced via its Twitter account that P-8A Maritime Patrol Aircraft will be known as the 'Poseidon MRA Mk.1' in UK service.

The first F-35 jets on-board HMS Queen Elizabeth were American owned aircraft but flown by British and American pilots.

The 48th rotation of detachments contributing to NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission is imminent, say the Alliance.

Personnel from the RAF have been involved in a joint exercise alongside military personnel from the US to realistically simulate a downed aircraft involving mass casualties.

The V-280 Valor reached a flight speed of 80 knots and reached an altitude of 1,000ft above ground level say Bell Helicopter.

The first three Royal Air Force personnel have arrived in Australia for training on the RAAF’s E-7 Wedgetail aircraft.

Pilots from the United States Air Force 388th Fighter Wing's 4th Fighter Squadron were the first operational unit to fire the F-35As 25mm cannon in a strafing run during training.

Typhoons have scrambled to intercept six Russian bombers flying close to NATO airspace over the Black Sea.

820 Naval Air Squadron have embarked on HMS Queen Elizabeth with their Merlins to support her forthcoming F-35B flight trials.
