During a recent routine Operation Shader patrol, 2 @RoyalAirForce Typhoons identified rockets being launched in Iraq against coalition forces. To defend against this attack, our aircraft successfully used a Paveway IV precision-guided bomb to destroy the rocket launcher system.

I visited @RAFRedArrows in Croatia this week to see their pre-season training. Hugely impressed with their precision, professionalism and team spirit. Also a great sneak preview of their superb display planned for their diamond 60th season. #RedArrows

Timing is critical to everything the RAF delivers 24/7. From ensuring each part of an engine moves in sync, to landing an F-35 on a moving carrier, or minimising the time it takes to get a QRA jet airborne, we make every second count #BritishScienceWeek

Time is key in science, technology, engineering & maths and plays a pivotal role in a lot of what the Royal Air Force does daily. ⏳ Ensuring every part of an engine moves in time is just as important as the time it takes to get a QRA jet airborne. #BritishScienceWeek #STEM
