Typhoon jets from Lincolnshire’s RAF Coningsby are poised to take on a vital role in Nato’s defence operations over Poland in response to recent tensions stirred by Russian drone activities. The deployment underlines Lincolnshire’s strategic significance, preparing the fighter jets to join international forces including Danish, French, and German troops.

Defence Secretary John Healey stressed the UK’s dedication to Nato unity, and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer reinforced the crucial nature of such deployments for national and allied security.
