- Video package shows footage of a QRA scramble by RAF Typhoons deployed on Op AZOTIZE from Siauliai Air Base, 4th Jun 2020. They intercepted a Russian COOT A and supporting Flanker B aircraft.
Op AZOTIZE is the UK's contribution to the NATO Baltic Air Policing mission ensuring the security of the skies above Lithuania the other Baltic States. RAF Typhoons of No.6 Squadron, from RAF Lossiemouth, are working alongside a detachment of Spanish F-18 fighters of Ejercito Del Aire.
And also Royal Air Force Typhoons deployed in Lithuania carrying out mock air attacks to test the defences of NATO warships operating in the Baltic Sea.

Thank you for your supportive comment

Incredible and makes me hate myself even more for not being smart enough to become an airforce pilot. Well done mate great job & stunning video.
Same 😫
Gabriel Johannson You hate yourself because you’re not smart enough to be a pilot? If you can’t fly them, why not fix them? There are literally thousands of roles to fill within the Forces and outside of them two - no single cog in a machine is any more important than another, if one isn’t working the entire machine stops. Don’t be so quick to write yourself off, there’s nothing you can’t achieve with enough effort and dedication. Besides, these days you’ll only get drawn into a conflict you want no part of - it’s been a long time sine we fought for our freedom, and NATO and the UN cover much of what we never hear about. The governments and media are conditioning people to believe they’re worthless - ignore what you’ve been told until you’re truly positive that it’s you that has a limit holding you back, or someone else decided what your limit was and you just accepted it. Make sure you’re actually told ‘No, and here’s why’ or keep on trying. No single person has the right to decide your future, except yourself. Good luck in whatever you end up doing - but don’t hate yourself because of others’ expectations of you. Fuck ‘em!
Might not be the smarts. Might be the passion and commitment and desire. Believe me, these guys really wanted it. They would have moved heaven and earth to get a place in that seat and spent 7 or 8 years working towards it.
Pilots are the gnarly surf dudes of the armed forces. They're not all that smart but they ARE capable. And genetically fortunate. And irritating in anything above small doses. Cowabunga.
What a great video! Thanks for sharing. It lets me experience virtually something that I wanted to do but couldn’t because of poor eyesight.
... You know you can get the 2nd generation of laser eye surgery (well it's at least allowed in the USA Airforce)!.
If you have the money to buy a Gaming PC, theres a simulation called DCS in which you can fly fighter jets in a super realistic environment... You should give it a watch on YT
Nice to see professional airmen doing the job properly
We shouldn't of got rid of the harrier jump jet .. the most iconic British fighter after the spitfire. Its one of the only planes usa bought in numbers. Look at the falklands for instance 21 kills no losses. From the sea harrier
Yes, there was Harrier losses to enemy fire and accidents in the Falklands.
Flanker is beautiful...👍
@@snowrabbit9558 You are entitled to your own opinion, and also entitled to be completely and utterly wrong.

But I knew you liked that and gonna call me again.
@Julian McSweeney I would adjust your tone considering that all we have are Eurocrapters.
@Bob Beelze all Russias equipment is out of date, yeah Russia has the numbers. But doesn't have the better tech.
@@fredthered2778 Im English and wish to join the RAF and work on the Eurofighter, i am incredibly patriotic and love our military, but with that said you cannot spread lies of Russia being out of date tech wise, their tech is very much up to date and their aircraft are very, very capable as are ours. Honestly, I believe if the UK and Russia were at war air superiority would go to the UK but maybe im just biased idk, but i do believe also that we would have MANY MANY air combat losses and it would be very close! Russia has the furthest firing BVR missiles in the world and they are very good quality, they do outmatch ours quite a bit!
@@NoblelllB I'm sorry I'm gonna disagree there. I'm not saying they dont have modern tech, I'm saying I think we have the more modern approach. When the type 45 destroyer Duncan was swarmed by Russian jets the other year, I dont think they know how advanced that vessel is? It can destroy multiple targets at the same time.
Pretty impressive
Both of the pilots are ex-convicts. They are just doing community service
That Russian Flanker is his name Vladimir? 🤔
That’s not a flanker’ that’s a Sukio -34 Fullback !!!!
Looks like Coningsby?
Love it. Is it just our aircraft that have to refuel?
No- it depends entirely on how far the aircraft has to go, and how much fuel they have on board- The Typhoons are QRF, so they won't be travelling with tanks etc- the Flanker may well either stop at a closer base, or refuel on the way back- it depends entirely where they have come from.
The Spoken Word they are flying with two supersonic wing tanks.
Let's have have some tea now.
Go get em.
I am not blessed with the mind and the abilities of a RAF pilot but reader know this every penny of my income tax and NI contributions that my family and I pay to her Majesty s treasury is going to these brave Sky Warriors .

That Flanker looks like a plane from a Donald Trump advertisement
Go on shoot it down, I dare you. They have been taking the piss for 40 years and more.
An RAF EUROfighter? That simply so not do!
Think of a different name.
(Sorry, could not resist)
They are being called the RAF Brexitfighter from January 1st 2021.
Truth
I fought one of these in BMS. It best me 8 out of 10 times guns only. The speed and turn rates were ridiculous. If you play BMS, go into furball and do a one on one with it. Once you get your butt kicked then face the raptor lol.
What were you flying?
There is no interception
Got to put an end to this Russian exploratory invasion, how many subs are out there?
It was two

Excellent video and gives us an idea of what it's like to be in a fighter aircraft. 👍
These days the Russians couldn’t fund an invasion of a Tesco Metro. Come on over, an say hi in those beautiful old birds, gives the RAF something to do anyway.

INTERCEPTING...WHY???? THE TU-22 WAS TRESPASSING ANY AIR FRONTIER????
Intercepts Flanker then performs airshow for navy, nice
I use to know this guy Billy McCormic that road WO in F4's back in the 80's intercepting TU95's flying down the Norwegian slot. He has this story he likes to tell about the new Russian commanders. So when the F4 intercepts and calls for acknowledgment of the Bear, they ask for the Russian to raise his 50 call defense guns in compliance with international law. Says this one new guy they had not come across gave them a bunch of crap one day and just mumbled stuff back in Russian. Well, it's the standard that all international pilots be able to speak English. He said the second time they followed the request and locked the Bear with weapons radar. He said the guns went up immediately and suddenly the Russian started speaking perfect English. He said after several months of this cat and mouse they knew each pilot by tail number and a professional relationship developed between them. He said, it was always a nervous time getting a new Russian pilot in the air because he never knew if he would do something stupid to make them have to act.
I've seen footage years ago (Russian) of an RAF fighter pilot sharing porn magazines 'bubble to bubble' if you like with a Soviet gunner on the back of a Tu-95 bomber.. 😂
I met a back seater from a Tornado ground attack squadron back in 98. I asked him about the weapons radar locks. He said they wouldnt do it because a lot of the Tu95 Bears were used to record and analyse the Typhoons radar signals i.e. Intelligence gathering. He also mentioned that back in the 80s, when the soviets incurred on NATO airspace that every nation affected would launch alert fighters. So by the time the Brits showed up there was a conga line of West German, Danish, Belgium and Dutch fighters trailing the Bear.
@@yimmeistaryimmeistar7239 funny that because the tracking Radar is in Lincolnshire, On the East Coast off England and can spot planes over east Germany.
@@newton18311 back in the 80s i think the RAF still had squadrons based in west germany. I know the Brits and Yanks had ground forces there. Because driving from West Germany to East Germany (Altenberg not Altenburg) there were signs up warning miltary personell that they were leaving West Germany. So maybe that radar was used to launch alert aircraft. I dunno.
@@yimmeistaryimmeistar7239 Driving into Altenburg as an RAF pilot would have probably be a bad idea given the Russian airbase nearby.
It's a pity that we're not allowed a little com's from pilot to ground and vis a vis..
QRA Coningsby demonstrated to Sky News how their pilots would handle an intercept in a training mission with that you can hear what the pilots are saying to back to QRA comand
And, after years of cutbacks in military spending by pretty much all of NATO, we’re back to the old Cold War era test the responses interdictions!
I had the pleasure of seeing the tail end of one in 1988, with a MiG chased to & over Czech boarder by 2 US fighters, happily sat on a slow train and heard a roaring sound approaching, barely had time to see the three aircraft shoot by at an altitude of around 50-100feet, WHOOSHHHWHOWHOOOOSHHHH. In sight for all of a max of 2 seconds
The Russians have never really stopped their "probing", they just sometimes do it a bit more, and other times a bit less.
What does change is how much of a fuss the press make of it.
Aged like fine wine, now we’re back to Cold War 2: Eastern Europe Boogaloo.
My uncle was a test pilot on these when they was "eurofighter 2000" in the 80s and 90s before a accident ended his fast air career and he ended up a airline pilot.
He says they had no computer simulations like they do now, it was a case of get in and fly and see what happens. He would take me to work sometimes at BA Warton and I'd chill in the pilots cabins while he went for a spin.
Not true. DA2/4 were Wartons test a/c and DA2 was tasked with FCS development and envelope expansion. It was all heavily CFD modelled, then rehearsed and validated in the FCS sims at Warton and the wider FJT. There’s a reason we only lost one DA throughout the development trials and it’s because we didn’t just get in and ‘give it a go’ as you say. If your uncle is KH then he may have come across that way, certainly in his last DA flight before he ‘left’ the EF programme. .
@@bluerallyes2 What you even on about? I was a child, way to piss on a memory you bell end.
Need clarification. Do they get paid to do that or do they have to pay?
NATO mission, the alliance pays for it.
Paul Edwards each country pays for its own Air Force and its operations.
The NATO HQ structure is a sub $2billion organisation funded by member states and is not responsible for combat organisations, it’s only real assets are E-3 Sentry AEW aircraft
I got your joke mate- haha! For everyone else, the joke here is 'do these guys get paid to have such an awesome job, or do THEY have to pay to do it?'
The tax payer pays ....maybe that is ......ÝOU.......
Yeah, I had a similar question the other day, do porn actors get paid, or do they have to pay to screw all those nice chicks.
I live near Osnabrück in Germany. I see very often at this time the RAF A400M flying from England Brize Norton to Siauliai Air Base, spotted on Flightradar24 Mobile App. Thx for service (y)
You can't use the flight radar 24 too spot military air craft
@@britishtroop4943 that is true. No way will flight radar show a military fighter in the air.i live in Yorkshire and see typhoons regularly in air and turn on flight radar. Nothing
triple fan adsb is generally better for mil
for sure you can see fighter jets. like the raf Hawks can be spotted over Britain. the Netherland mitlitary is flying here quite often with their a330 as well. of course they dont military jets which are on a special mission. i see the a400m from the raf very often and the a330s as well.
The Sukhoi's are flying in international airspace. You people need to learn the difference, that is not interception but escort or you can say close monitoring. To intercept something he must violate first something, which the flanker's did not. All jets as you see were flying straight, no aggressive manoeuvrers, no nothing. You people perhaps should watch Greek-Turkish encounters to understand what interception means.
@Jean
I know perfectly what interception is, you obviously dont.
@Jean
You intercept something when violates something or you are suspicious for an illegal act(terrorism, transfer of weapons etc).
In this vid nothing of the above is happening.
The Sukhois are flying in international air-space in a straight line, not even care about the EF escorting them.
Listen I am Greek and I know what I m talking about because we have this situations almost in daily basis. While you only once every couple of months you take off to escort a russian jet which flies legal outside your national airspace and you think you do something amazing by doing so lol. Not very busy your airforce. If you want to see what a busy day is, then send a couple of yours jets in a greek airbase for a couple of months and you will understand the term interception deep in your soul.
In the Aegean when a turkish fighter violates Greek air space, Greek fighters moved to intercept them and if the enemy turkish fighter persists of not leaving in devolves to a aerial battle(dogfight). That is what we call interception.
Because I read books and I know my stuff, you should do the same.
Flying over a Non Rotating Stationary Flat Plane. AIR-PLANES. Their own Documents. Look at the Wings. NO room for several kubicmeters of liquid fuel. The NOICE is from The COMPRESSORBLADES spinning. Air/Gas turbines.
RAF Eurofighter Typhoons Cockpit footage intercepting a Russian Flanker???? LOLOLOLOLOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLOLOLOLOOLOOOO ROTFL RORFL LMAOOOOOOOO!!!!! Translated: "We shit in our pants when we saw the Su-27" !!!!!
the flanker (su30) is not carrying any missile. Is it just a border patrolling or interception?
First of all, the plane you see at 0:36 is not a Su-30, but a Su-27. The Su-30 has canards in front of it's wings. Moreover, if you look closely you see it's carrying two missiles on the outer pylons.
@@LordChaos1973 yes and those missiles might be the R73 infra-red heat seeking
Did he fly the EAP, Experimental Aircraft, the Typhoon is based on it. The one aircraft built is ZF534 and it’s on display at Cosford

What are RAF doing 400 miles from Moscow? Would this be allowed over America?
God help the overly brazen Russian Pilot who'd want to test an RAF Typhoon.....
Wow 👍🏴
There goes around £250,000 on that flight
Bit of an over estimation. But what would you rather everyone's military jets could just fly over us as n when?
They are not in our airspace
They are approaching it
At the end of the day combat is a numbers game......and we ain’t got enough
Britain is a small island that has always punched above its weight throughout history. Specifically the RAF were outnumbered by the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, how did that pan out? It’s never the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.
i am sure that Flanker pilot was not happy when two Typhoons roll up on him and boxed him in !
And the Lithuanian air force were where?Nice shot of the RFA and the Type 45 too
Its ming boggling to see the height/altitude and the speed at which they fly in such a small aircraft with just maybe a few layers of glass and metal separating them and whats outside. Forget about the maneuvers they do while in combat. 🙃🤐😮
A typhoon is over 52 feet long.... small??
Russian Flankers!"! go and flank somewhere else, you flankers.

Those Typhoons are every bit the Spitfire of the modern age.
Nah, more like their namesakes actually.
@@tsu8003
Not really...Typhoon (WW2) was mainly ground attack.
@@gazza2933 It was a multi-role fighter just like this Typhoon is but its original purpose was to be a medium altitude interceptor as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane.
The typhoon is so underrated especially in the Air to Air role its fast super manoeuverable and packs an amazing range of weapons from BVR missiles to close range infa red and AVRAM not forgetting its cannon which certainly packs a punch
@@tsu8003 Not so sure the old Typhoon was such a distinguished air supremacy fighter. But equally, the Spitfire was not such an accomplished ground attack, close support asset.
They may not be F22 when it comes to dog fighting. But then again, the F22 is not part of the RAF with the Spitfire legend. "Angels high - tallyho!"
The fella flying the aircraft looks like Jeremy Clarkson!!. lol
The Russian air force would be better employed having a sniff at Chinese air space especially in the Vladivostok area and stop pissing about in UK air space and messing with the RAF's Typhoons... We wouldn't want their arses to suddenly get a splitting headache now would we?
It was near Lithuania, nowhere near UK airspace.
So cows farting filled up that space with bad stuff ??

Nice footage and even better not spoilt with an annoying backing track playing. Hat's off to all our service personnel for keeping us safe, god speed and return safely home after every sortie 👍✈️
0:33 when you realize there's a giant scary spider on the ceiling above the bed in the bedroom.... I am sure the EF and the SU's would be a fairly even match within visual range, maybe even give the edge to the EF, but that SU does like scary...its the lines on it
