@16RegtRA are hugely excited to be fielding #LandCeptor as part of the #SkySabre capability as it enters service in 2020. Big but positive changes ahead! @HQJtGBAD @Ian_Gale @gunner_net @HQARRC @BritishArmy @byMBDA #airdefence
The Land Ceptor missile, which is being developed under a ยฃ250m contract with @byMBDA, has completed its first successful firing trial ahead of entering service with the @BritishArmy in the early 2020s #Defence

Great to have Forces News here earlier this week, alongside our Air Defence counterparts in @12regtra, to discuss all the support that @7AirDefence is sending to Eastern Europe. #Team16
#oneregiment
The @BritishArmy's been showcasing the missiles systems theyโre sending to #Poland. It includes the Starstreak and Sky Sabre systems, which will be used in a defensive capacity. How easy are they to use? Our very own Tim Cooper tried out one of the trainer kits for himself.๐๐
