Royal Air Force Typhoons have been busy providing air support to Jordanian Armed Forces as part of the global coalition against Daesh.
RAF jets, directed by Joint Terminal Attack Controllers, have been working closely with Jordanian Armed Forces to deliver air support during operations aimed at countering regional instability.
The Typhoons, based in RAF Akrotiri, routinely conduct missions over the region providing air support in pursuit of coalition aims.
Jordan and the United Kingdom remain steadfast partners working as part of an international coalition formed over a decade ago with the aim to defeat Daesh wherever it operates. The Jordanian Armed Forces continue to degrade Daesh capabilities in the region.
Operations like this underscore the enduring UK–Jordan partnership and the high level of interoperability between the two forces.
“Our aviators are fully aware of the critical role they play in supporting our Jordanian Allies as they carry out a difficult task in a challenging environment. Working side by side with our Allies and Partners in the region builds trust, understanding and ensures we are ready to tackle any threat to regional stability”.
