A Royal Air Force detachment of Eurofighter Typhoons has completed its rotation in support of NATO’s Baltic Air Policing (BAP) mission in Estonia, handing over to a German unit of the same type.

Four RAF Typhoons assigned to the 121 Expeditionary Wing were based at Amari air base from 1 May, and on 25 August responsibility was handed over to the German air force’s 31st Tactical Air Wing. The latter will take over the role also using four Eurofighters.


Four Hungarian air force Saab Gripens will provide the lead BAP service from Šiauliai air base in Lithuania from 31 August, supported by the German aircraft, as the 39th rotation of the NATO mission begins.

On a four-month rotational basis Alliance nations have deployed to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which do not have the air power to defend their airspace against Russian advances in the region.

For the 38th rotation, the RAF was operating alongside lead nation Norway, which based a detachment of Lockheed Martin F-16s at Šiauliai, supported by four Eurofighters from the Italian air force. Four Belgian F-16s, meanwhile, were stationed at Malbork air base in Poland.

Notably, the coming rotation will see the BAP mission halved, with the number of aircraft allocated to each period to be reduced from 16 to eight. NATO maintains that the readiness level will not be effected by the reduction.

The rotations have been conducted continuously since 2004, but were ramped up to the 16-aircraft level last year as tensions rose in eastern Europe following Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

I'm thinking of creating a British armed forces thread. I just noticed we don't even have one on here.

Yes it is, F310 is HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen of the same class name. Here she is hanging with a Russian Navy frigate:

Type-45 is bigger, can carry more VLS cells and has a better radar and a bigger gun.

However, we cant really compare the two since Type 45 is far bigger(2000 tons heavier/bigger), so its not a fair comparison to be honest.

But overall, T45 has the PRINCIPAL ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILE SYSTEM (PAAMS) which is widely believed to be one of the best system available at the moment. It also has electric propulsion and a 7,000nm+ range.

Apart from those features I prefer the layout of the F124/sachsen, it can operate 2x helos and it's weapons are positioned better than on the T45. So Sachsen is a rather good ship as well.

True, but now i think you can. Since as you know its our leaders wo have been urging your leaders to arm more and play a bigger role in world/military issues and crisis, but your leaders so far have been the ones who have been reluctant to do this.

So i think its up to your authorities, even the U.S has been urging Germany and many other European nations to spend more on defence and boost their defence capabilities/reach. So hopefully Germany will start assuming its role as a big world power as well, this will make Europe even more stronger. We in Great Britain welcome this.

we are brothers afterall.
