This is always a very depressing sight 🫠 Retiring 53 Tranche 1 Typhoon’s without replacement was an absolutely CRIMINAL act. Even if their role was relegated to QRA and basic air defence, it would still be 53 active jets to defend the country. The USAF maintain F-15C/D’s in

#RAF Royal Air Force General Dynamic Protector RG Mk 1 (MQ-9B) 1x #43C973 PR011 - ASCOT7331 A new hex code for an RAF drone has been spotted flying over the eastern Med. Using the hex codes of the known Protector RG fleet (PR006-10), I believe that #43C973 is PR011.

This is misinformation at best, disinformation at worst; factually false regardless. The RuAF do not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace, they stay in the Air Defence Identification Zone/ADIZ, an area where #NORAD asks aircraft to identify themselves to ensure they're
