UN RAF fighter jets scrambled because of 'Unidentified Objects' - Ironically first time flying with 'Meteor' missiles

RAF fighter jets have been scrambled in response to “unidentified aircraft” approaching UK airspace.

The Typhoons took off from RAF Lossiemouth on Monday morning armed for the first time with the latest Meteor air-to-air missile.

They were launched in a “quick reaction alert” mission as a “precautionary measure”, said the Ministry of Defence (MoD.)

However, no intercept took place and the jets subsequently returned to the base in Moray.

The MoD gave no further details about unidentified aircraft.

RAF Typhoons are kept in a constant state of readiness to defend UK airspace and have been scrambled several times this year, including to intercept Russian bombers over the North Sea in September.


The Meteor missile, which can be deployed in any weather, was developed by a six-nation European partnership. It was built by arms manufacturer MBDA in Stevenage, creating 430 jobs.

Chief of air staff, Sir Stephen Hiller, described the Meteor as “the most advanced air-to-air missile in the world” and a “huge leap forward in capability”.

The MoD not giving further details is telling...

You missed the IRA out of your poll. You know how fucking shifty the Irish are. Mix 'no-one takes us seriously any more' with a bunch of whisky and you'd be amazed what plans can be hatched.

First of all, top kek for the original X-Com.

Second of all, no, that's a fight that you can win. If it was a Brit plane, it wouldn't have any guns on it.
