RAF joins US & other allies for training in Europe's BIGGEST aerial battlespace

The RAF has joined 13 other nations to complete one of Europe's largest air exercises.

Known as Arctic Challenge, this complex multinational exercise – hosted by Sweden, Finland and Norway – saw more than 3,000 troops and 150 aircraft converge in the High North.

It happens every two years but, the last time it took place, Russia had not attacked a European nation and, in turn, this year the focus has switched to practising offensive operations.
