Inside the mind of an RAF fighter pilot intercepting Russian aircraft
A Royal Air Force fighter pilot deployed to Estonia has exclusively told Forces News what it is like coming face-to-face with Russian aircraft in the skies.
The interview is the first time an RAF Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) pilot on Op Azotize has spoken to the media about being scrambled and the rapid search to find aircraft, plus how he has to be "ready at all times".
The Typhoon pilot from IX (B) Squadron is part of the Nato Baltic Air Policing mission in Estonia, which borders Russia, and described how so far, across "two Alpha scrambles", he has encountered seven Russian aeroplanes, which he classifies as "a good haul".
