That will get Putin quaking in his designer shoes. Stay safe and have a good detachment.

Over 20 years ago I was working some Partnership for Peace projects with the Rumanian Navy. Mostly peacekeeping and NEO exercises. Nice to see that the longer term relationship has lasted. Interesting to see them hosting the RAF.
Fly safe, gentlemen. (And ladies, as appropriate).

And great journalism showing a Tonka in the heading image instead of a Typhoon.

Fonsini,

I's not an ASM - it's a Skyshadow ECM pod (being upgraded to Common Jamming Pod).
