17 juin 2015 by Royal Air Force

Four RAF Typhoons are currently deployed to Amari airbase in Estonia as part of NATO’s Baltic Air Policing mission to assure and secure the airspace of the Baltic countries of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. “People are what make a mission for the Royal Air Force”, says the commander of 121 Expeditionary Air Wing, Wing Commander Stu Smiley; “We have the equipment and the aircraft which execute the mission with the pilots in, but it is everybody behind that that makes it possible.”
