The United Kingdom, together with the US and other NATO members, carried out a 12-hour mission on patrolling NATO airspace near Russian borders, using combat aviation amid drone incidents in Poland and other countries, UK Secretary of State for Defense John Healey said.
"This was a substantial joint mission with our US and NATO allies," he said, as quoted by Reuters.
"Not only does this provide valuable intelligence to boost the operational awareness of our Armed Forces, but sends a powerful message of NATO unity to Putin and our adversaries," Healey added.
An RC-135 Rivet Joint electronic surveillance aircraft and a P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol plane flew from the Arctic region past Belarus and Ukraine on October 9, supported by a US Air Force KC-135 refueling aircraft.
