Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pictured is a 51 Squadron RAF RC-135W Rivet Joint aircraft at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada during Exercise Red Flag.

RAF personnel took part in the world’s largest and most complex air combat exercise at Nellis Air Force Base in the United States.

Exercise Red Flag is a three-week, 5th Generation exercise that sees friendly ‘Blue Forces’ compete against hostile ‘Red Force’ aggressors in live and synthetic training environments, simulating air-to-air, air-to-ground and space and cyber warfare.

The training mirrors the threats and complex air defences posed by real-life adversaries, and helps participating nations better understand each other’s capabilities.

The RC-135W Rivet Joint is a large, all-weather electronic surveillance aircraft based on the C-135 airframe.

The RC-135W Rivet Joint is equipped with a variety of sensors, allowing its multi- disciplined crew to intercept and exploit emissions across the electromagnetic spectrum, providing both strategic and tactical level intelligence.
