RAF at Exercise Red Flag
Pictured is a Typhoon of 6 Sqn taking on fuel from an RAF Voyager during Exercise Red Flag.
RAF personnel took part in the worlds largest and most complex air combat exercise at Nellis Air Force Base in the United States.
Exercise Red Flag is a three-week, 5th Generation exercise that sees friendly Blue Forces compete against hostile Red Force aggressors in live and synthetic training environments, simulating air-to-air, air-to-ground and space and cyber warfare.
The training mirrors the threats and complex air defences posed by real-life adversaries, and helps participating nations better understand each others capabilities.
The Typhoon FGR4 provides the RAF with a highly capable and extremely agile multi-role combat aircraft, capable of being deployed in the full spectrum of air operations, including air policing, peace support and high intensity conflict.
Initially deployed in the air-to-air role as the Typhoon F2, the aircraft now has a potent and precise multirole capability.
The pilot can carry out many functions by voice command or through a hands-on stick and throttle system. Combined with an advanced cockpit and the HEA (Helmet equipment assembly) the pilot is superbly equipped for all aspects of air operations

In the image, a Typhoon aircraft from 6 Squadron can be seen skillfully refueling from an RAF Voyager mid-air. Exercise Red Flag is renowned as the largest and most intricate air combat exercise in the world. Held at Nellis Air Force Base in the United States, it provides an opportunity for friendly Blue Forces to engage against hostile Red Force aggressors in both live and synthetic training environments. This three-week long exercise encompasses various warfare scenarios including air-to-air, air-to-ground, space, and cyber warfare. The Typhoon FGR4 featured in this photograph is a highly capable multi-role combat aircraft that equips the RAF with exceptional agility on all fronts of air operations. Originally designed for air-to-air missions as the Typhoon F2, it has evolved into a potent platform with precise multirole capabilities.
