A @RoyalAirForce Rivet Joint aircraft operating in international airspace over the Black Sea was dangerously intercepted by Russian military jets – flying as close as six metres and triggering onboard emergency systems. Despite these reckless manoeuvres, RAF crew completed their mission safely. The aircraft was conducting a routine flight in support of @NATO operations, contributing to the security of the Alliance’s eastern flank. The RAF Rivet Joint is a specialist reconnaissance aircraft equipped with advanced electronic surveillance sensors, providing critical situational awareness to help safeguard NATO territory. This incident reflects ongoing Russian aggression and heightened military activity across Eastern Europe and the High North – the UK will continue to stand firm with its allies, united in the defence of NATO.

The actions of Russian pilots towards an unarmed @RoyalAirForce aircraft are dangerous and unacceptable. I pay tribute to the outstanding bravery of the RAF crew, who completed their mission safely. This will not deter the UK’s commitment to defend our @NATO allies.

Russian jets 'dangerously' intercept RAF spy plane over Black Sea - not acceptable from Russia. The RAF crew bravely continued their mission, not letting the jets put them off. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Proud to co-chair today’s Strait of Hormuz Defence Ministers meeting of 40+ nations, united behind a credible, defensive mission. The Strait carries a fifth of the world's oil. Securing freedom of navigation matters for people at home & globally, and the UK is leading the effort

Pathfinders and airborne medics have jumped into Tristan da Cunha, the remotest inhabited island in the world, to treat a Briton with Hantavirus. The British territory has no airstrip. The closest Royal Navy ship was days away and oxygen supplies were critically low.

Essential aid delivered from the sky. Members of the Parachute Regiment parachute on to the remote island of Tristan da Cunha. They mark a drop zone then call in an air drop of essential medical supplies from the RAF. 1000s of miles away in the middle of the Atlantic…only they could do it…to the Parachute Regiment we salute you! 🫡🫡
