Typhoon Jet Scrambled Today | Breaking News| UK Irl News

Two Royal Air Force Typhoon jets were scrambled from RAF Lossiemouth on Tuesday afternoon as part of a Quick Reaction Alert mission over the North Sea. The aircraft were supported by an RAF Voyager tanker from Brize Norton, which was tracked heading north and operating in a refuelling pattern west of the Shetland Islands. Flight tracking showed the Voyager, using the callsign TARTAN21, moving north from Brize Norton before orbiting in designated air-to-air refuelling areas. During the mission, the tanker climbed to over 34,000 feet and later descended as it repositioned northwards. The movements were consistent with sustained air-to-air refuelling support for the Typhoons on task. A Royal Air Force spokesperson confirmed: “Quick Reaction Alert Typhoon Fighters launched from RAF Lossiemouth today due to unidentified aircraft approaching the UK’s area of interest. However, the unidentified aircraft did not enter the UK Flight Information Region and no interceptions took place.” The Typhoons later returned to base. The RAF constantly coordinates with NATO partners and often assumes responsibility from other nations’ QRA aircraft when unidentified aviation approaches the UK’s Flight Information Region, which the RAF polices. No interceptions were required during this launch. #typhoon #jet #jetcrash #uk #Brrakingnews #ireland #newslive
