RAF Typhoons Scrambled From Romania to Intercept Russian Drones Near NATO Airspace

Two RAF Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled from a Romanian air base at 2am on Saturday to intercept Russian drones approaching NATO airspace near Ukraine. The jets established radar contact on the targets and had authorisation to engage if necessary, but did not open fire and remained within Romanian airspace. Ground-based radar tracked targets near Reni in Ukraine where explosions were reported, before contact with the drones was lost. An object later fell in Galați, Romania. The mission was one of surveillance and deterrence as part of a rotating NATO air defence mission protecting eastern European countries.

Two RAF Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled from a Romanian air base at 2am on Saturday to engage Russian drones approaching NATO airspace. The aircraft established radar contact with the targets and had authorisation to engage if necessary, but did not open fire and remained within Romanian airspace throughout the mission. Romanian officials reported that contact with the drones was lost near Reni, Ukraine, and an object later fell near Galați in Romania. The incident comes amid Western refusal to police Ukrainian skies to avoid direct confrontation with Russia.

Britain Offers Typhoon Squadron for Hormuz Patrols After Iran War Ends

Britain has offered to deploy a squadron of RAF Typhoon jets from Qatar to patrol the Strait of Hormuz as part of a multinational mission to keep the strategic waterway open after the Iran war ends. British military planners also offered mine-hunting drones and specialist divers to clear mines planted by Iran, though no decision has been made on deploying a Royal Navy warship. The proposal was presented at a 30-country meeting at the UK's Northwood headquarters, with representatives from Germany, Norway, South Korea and Australia attending. The UK and France said they would only participate if there is a peace deal or sustainable ceasefire, not in any military action against Iran.
