UK rotary power! 🇬🇧🚁💪 Responding to @thinkdefence's thoughts on LMM & Apache... Our Wildcat HMA, armed with Martlet (LMM), is the UK's in-service solution, ready to tackle air & surface targets on land or at sea 💥 #Wildcat #Martlet #UKDefence

An image of An Apache Attack Helicopter fitted with a HVM Starstreak Pod. Would it be worth resurrecting this concept for counter UAS, maybe with LMM as well?

Securing our future! 🇬🇧🇳🇴 The protection of Critical National Infrastructure is central to the Lunna House Agreement and our Squadron’s role in UK Defence. Our relationship with @Forsvaret_no continues to go from strength to strength! @JohnHealey_MP
@toreosa
The UK and Norway have stood together in the High North for generations. Today, Defence Minister @toreosa and I signed the Lunna House Agreement which takes that partnership to the next level - protecting our waters & critical undersea infrastructure in this new era of threat.

A poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our service personnel at this time of year. This advert is based on the story of @hmsdiamond in the Red Sea in 2023, with one of our aircraft onboard, protecting UK interests from the Houthi threat of Uncrewed Air Systems.

LETHAL and READY, at home and abroad.
Small. Fast. Agile. Lethal.💥 Martlet, one of two new anti-ship missiles for the Wildcats of @815NAS, is now fully operational. Deadly against drones and small fast patrol craft, Martlet has undergone 4 years of extensive trials.
