Nato pilots train to intercept Russian aircraft in Quick Reaction Alert drills
Romanian Carpathian Vipers, assisted by the RAF’s Typhoons FGR4 aircraft, have been taking part in reaction drills to intercept Russian aircraft as part of Nato Baltic Air Policing.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, pilots from Romania, Lithuania and Great Britain have been tasked with intercepting Russian jets that enter Nato airspace.
All pilots are prepared to react to QRAs (Quick Reaction Alert) which is a state of readiness and modus operandi of air defence maintained at all times.
