- Britain intercepted Russian aircraft in expanded NATO Arctic mission
Britain intercepted two Russian Bear F aircraft near the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier in the Norwegian Sea, as part of an expanded NATO Arctic mission. The UK used F-35 jets to escort the Russian planes, which had deployed sonobuoys to track submarines. This action follows the UK taking command of NATO's rapid deployment special forces unit.
