Rare access as crews patrol NATO's frontline

- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- We joined one of the new NATO air policing sorties over the skies of Romania, part of the alliance’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
It’s the first time a reporter has been granted access to fly with the crews now operating these missions from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus after they arrived two weeks ago.
Sian Grzeszczyk was on board a voyager refuelling aircraft that flew with two armed Typhoon fast jets.

As a Romanian, thank you!
Thank God Romania and my country are both in NATO. Actually thank God most of Eastern Europe is in NATO. Otherwise what happened with Ukraine surely would have happened with us as well. And I want to thank all western allies, especially the US, the Commonwealth and the UK, without who the world wouldnt have been the same. God bless you and thanks for everything! Respect from your humble NATO partner and Romania's southern neighbour - Bulgaria
yeah, but Ukraine cannot be allowed to fall. or it will end up happening everywhere. Putin just wants to get closer to europe so he can bomb it and invade it.
Respect from the UK as well 🇧🇬 🇬🇧
@@andrabook8758 He cant do it that easily. US and NATO all have very good defense vs this type of thing as Russia have. He can't just drop a bomb anytime anywhere wich is inside NATO. It will get intercepted. Okay, not all of them but many of it. Also, if Russia do this, they will sure get it back by a counter attack from either a Trident SLBM's or from USA ICBM's or Nuclear Cruise Missiles. Russia also have a nice defense for this called s-400 or maybe s-500(i think it's still in development) but it just can't defend too many. They can shut down couple of this but not all of them. So it is a situation, when both sides will lose, so for Russia it is not worth it as for US and NATO.
Respect from the UK 🇬🇧🤜🤛 🇧🇬 to you too.
NATO won’t save Eastern Europe from Putin’s aggression. Don’t fool yourselves. More nuclear threats by Putin and NATO will soon cease to exist after he invades Latvia or Estonia. The West is not christian any more - it’s completely morally corrupt.
"We had a good day out" typical Brit response, love it.
Always understated.
Yep had a good day , we earned our wages today. In other word were ready, dont fruck with us or youre going to regret it
Nice job , proceed, your doing an excellent job
Big thanks to the RAF and all other allied air forces for protecting the skies over Europe!
Get the Commando comics out and lets all clap for someone.
where they were two days ago when the Russians fired drone at Croatia / Zagreb
but not Ukraine
@@NPI-iz7bg NATO said the alliance’s integrated air and missile defense had tracked the object’s flight path. But the Croatian prime minister said the country’s authorities were not informed and that NATO reacted only after question were posed by journalists. Chocolate fire guard is really good so long as you don't light the fire.
Thank you Russia to put an end to 30 years of unilateralism where the Empire/Terrorist Axis has institutionnaly sponsored terrorism against non submitting countries and pretexted false flag to invade others countries.
Uraaa !
Similar going on over Poland with US Air Force.
That same A332 is flying right now over Romania.
All these people are doing an amazing job. I was lucky enough to fly out of Brize on an air to air refuelling training mission several years ago, with Typhoons coming up to meet us over the North Sea. It was incredible and the skill levels demonstrated were inspiring. I wish them all the very best for whatever comes our collective way in the coming months. My heart is with the people of Ukraine.
My heart is with the freedom fighters and patriots the Taliban who made NATO and the USA fight for 20 years and they both lost. My heart also goes out to when NATO and the USA attacked Libya, Serbia, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan causing tens of millions of refugees not to mention its economic sanctions causing the deaths of tens of millions more.
In other words your comment is hypocritical
So good to see that former enemies like Britain and Germany working together!
You Brits are BALLERS! Keep up the great work!!!
oh god the typhoooooooooon... my favourite plane
Bless The RAF, from your friends in 🇺🇸. Stay strong Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪.
Bless he USAF also
Bless the freedom fighters and patriots the Taliban. Stay strong Russia
24 tonnes of fuel for a 7 hour flight is 3.4 tonnes per hour. 280KG of fuel every five minutes of flight.
That is mental.
they do go very fast ...
It wasn’t disclosed how many Typhoons were being supported by that one tanker….
@@rogerexwood6608 we don't have very many. They are jolly good though.
Economical 😆
Are you stoned? 🙄
I spent YEARS ‘flying’ EF2000 on PC trying to do a perfect Air-to-air refuelling. I did it eventually. Not a lot of people know this but the company behind EF2000 (DID) built a TIALD simulator for Tornado GR4 pilots to practice LGB attacks. I could say I was ‘comfortable’ in a virtual EuroFighter Typhoon and flew many a successful sortie and won the campaign.
is this sim available to the public? :p
Thank you for your service
@@ricktapio4834 EF2000 is, but its ancient as far as flight sims go. I recon the Eurofighter in DCS is better
We need a massive review of defence spending urgently!
i have been saying the same since i left the army in 76.....uk we are a joke...we are weak.
I'm on it! I've calculated we could spend far more yet we haven't got it. Thing is, with the Russians looking terrible there really doesn't seem so much need.
The Navy is way too small. One aircraft carrier. If that gets taken out, then what?
@@dotdashdotdash We'll use the other one?
@@dotdashdotdash The other one?
What you're doing is truly IMPRESSIVE.
YOU ARE THE BRAVE!
BLESS YOU & KEEP YOU SAFE
Can't be thankful enough for the RAF pilots flying so many hours per sortie to smoothly integrate into NATO forces over my country's and all eastern NATO flank countries' skies. We have to deal with a large stream of incoming refugees down there and friendly skies above us are paramount. Peace and freedom to all!
Yes the work of NATO presenting a formidable presence while conducting reconnaissance patrols is surely a statement of firm resolve. They didn't fly "sorties" as that means attacking, that's not NATOs intent, rather the opposite. NATO "Dont attack, we are ready to defend. War is not worth it."
'extra fast jets' nice technical language there :')
That's literally what the RAF calls them
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
@@felixsesodia2959 nah
I think she is right in using the British terms. I would have not liked it if she had said Slow Ugly Jets, Slow Lowest Bid Jets!
@@johndewey6358 what you say makes little sense

Putzin gave NATO plenty of time to step up DEFENSIVE capabilitys.
Offensive ones are just as 'stepped'.
Thank you from Romania !
Stay Strong - GO HARD - Australia Watch..
Nobody wants to fight NATO
In all seriousness now, it's very powerful. The most well equipped and professional army on Earth
NATO is broke. look at their inventory. entire German airforce only has 50 operational fighters, 8 tiger attach helicopter. 177 tanks. it's a pitty.
Do you really believe that?
@@HUgdJHf64 🤣 Maybe you should take a look at what they did to Russia economy without firing a bullet.
also nato when a drone enters nato airspace and crashes in Zagreb with an explosive head:
@@zsoltkovacs827 it transited Romania for 4 minutes. It was tracked on radar. Then it entered Hungary and transited the whole country then crashed in Zagreb. Hungary is the one who needs to give us some explanations. A drone crossed their country and they did nothing about it. In Romania it was seen on Radar but it was impossible to do anything as it was only In Romanian airspace for 4 minutes. Hungary if they want to leave their airspace open, is really upto them.
Thank you very much for this interesting video.
After the Cold war, several politicians, economists and media called fighters developed by European nations like the Eurofighter and Rafale unnecessary expense and relics of the past. These aircraft now help secure the free world.
Absolutely agree
Because they wanted to cheat and pawn off NATO expenses on the US
And we’ve seen just how ‘advanced’ Russia’s military equipment is, falling apart, rusting…
They haven't used their modern equipment yet and we sincerely hope they don't - they do have advanced aircraft and tanks, do your homework mate.
@@luciussander8217 that's because they aren't combat capable. T-14s and SU-57s are incapable.
The T14 is there most advanced tank, they have 20 and they aren't in service yet. Not sure which fighter aircraft your refering to but if its the su57 they have a total of 12 as of October 2021. Both might be exceptional, but without higher numbers they're just not gonna have much effect.
@@luciussander8217 The Russian economy is just 1/20th that of the US alone with a military roughly the same size. Yeah it's rusting and falling apart. The only threat they seriously offer is their nuclear capability.
@@luciussander8217 Russia is no match for the combined conventional weaponry of all NATO countries. Putin knows this, yes he makes nuclear threats but that is basically mutually assured destruction. No use even using them if you make the world a radioactive wasteland killing your own population in the process
They do it well. With all the other measures still no-one saw an armed drone until it ran out of fuel over Zagreb,no early warning on jets heading towards Poland launching missiles at base 20km from boarder ?
Saw a typhoon at an air show couple of years ago… damn them things are fookin loud!!!
Never heard one, but you should hear an F22 on takeoff, full AB. You don't just hear it, you FEEL it in both your chest and through your feet, from ground vibrations. There is a reason that thing can supercruise. I never heard the Concord in person on takeoff either, but I expect it was the similar. One reason it was banned from most of the world's airports.
@@MrJdsenior yep i was lucky enough to watch one take off as a kid in singapore late 70s, in a boat at the end of the runway, it shook you to the core.
Awesome sight, you never forget something like that as a kid
This shows just how valuable NATO are.
I think it demonstrates how weak it is if it was a deterrent Ukraine would be whole not a hole 0
@@lancethumel9277 I think it shows more how weak the Russian military REALLY is. Russian equipment has proven to be garbage. Ukraine is a 3rd world country and yet look whats happening. If they had air power, Russia would be forced to retreat. If not for their Nukes they would be invaded, lol
They do some amazing dinner parties and dances, and they all look very smart.
I think NATO has over-spent looking at how pathetic the Russian military is proving to be.
@@lancethumel9277 ukraine is not a part of nato.
The Tiffies are a formidable deterrent, and surely give comfort to our NATO allies. Thank you all.
First class, keep it up lads.
Wow, would you look at that, a military that's actually transparent about what it's actually doing in eastern Europe. Truly wild.
Extra-fast jets sound fun.
Well done lads.
Noise canceling from the reporter footage works so well that I can't hear anything at all.

Some of our leaders may not have been perfect in many different ways but we stand strong together against violent destructive dictatorships. 2022 we don’t need to invade countries to take over the peoples rights and freedoms. Putins Russia needs help. Number one problem = Putin (dictator).
WW2 didn’t end in 1945. It merely paused in the hope that dictators would fade away like a bad fart. But no along comes greedy Putin and his big ideas and here we go again accept he has bigger more technical bombs. Freedom & peace is costly but well worth the fight. 🇺🇦💕🇷🇺🌈
U are country if cowards
Extra fast jets are the best!
Double plus fast…
the amount of gas needed for 1 jet fighter is astonishing. i just hope we find new ways to power our vehicle
Well...You have an old 80s soviet era 14 meters 6 ton junkyard dog reconnaissance drone just travel at least 600 km trough "NATO" airspace and then slamming in Zagreb...that is unsettling to say the least...
There they are, The F35 is a great machine
"we've been working with the Americans, Italians, and Spanish" aren't there 6 German Eurofighters in Romania too?
Right now in Romania there are 8 USAF F16's V, 8 Italian Typhoons, 6 German Typhoons (22 in total) and there were also 2 USAF F35's on 24th of February, but I don't know if those jetfighters are still in Romania. The Spanish are in Bulgaria as far as I know, not far from Romania.

@Fire Starter shut up like we haven’t been giving weapons to Ukraine that hasn’t ended up in extremist hands both sides have them like members in the azov battalion or Russia’s wanger group extremist ideals always build in prolonged conflict zones
Hell of a trip, you would think there would be a base nearer.
Berlin is nearer.
They could use Romanian bases at a pinch/in an emergency, but I suppose it makes more sense to operate out of Cyprus ie a proper RAF base where they have all the resources to repair, maintain and staff their planes.
We used to have a number of bases in Germany but the (East German) Merkel kicked us out so she could fill all the base housing with refugees.
@@MrBlaxjax + Ex Royal Navy myself, the "crabs" RAF never fail to amaze me, they sure no how to waste tax payers money.
@@MrBlaxjax what you think airbase rammstein in germany got?
well done lads
Squadron Leader Steve Leech, Senior Air Traffic Control Officer (SATCO) at RAF Shawbury, said: “As the first unit to transition to full operational service, the last year has naturally been both a challenging and exciting period of change. I am immensely proud of my team in turning this advanced equipment into an operational capability.
“Working in ever-closer partnership with Aquila, controllers and duty holders now have a much deeper understanding of the air traffic management surveillance solution than ever before.”
Translated....We are the first unit to get the new radar. It is difficult to work but we think we have got it to work. If it wont work we will get Aquila to fix it.
As you can see bullshitting really is an art form.
Every new weapons system has teething problems. If you’re not having difficulties then the test procedures haven’t been written to real world standards. How many major weapons systems have you tested? I feel safe in saying none because if you were a flight test engineer I’d probably know you. I have been on the government side of major weapons systems tests. I’m a USN/USMC flight test, electrical, engineer.
The skies have been very quiet over Ukraine for 2 weeks. The media never mentions this. The Russian tank columns have no air support as they are from time to time picked off by a single Drone. A huge contrast to Russia's air operations in Syria.
Syrian rebels didn't have a butt load of MANPADS.
Aviation is not really necesary at this stage and its very costly to operate just for pstroling and risking for ocasional loss. RF is mostly shelling and rocketing cities which they have plenty of stock and much cheaper
@@richardvernon317 Just wait till they have Stingers. Those things can quickly end a flight at MUCH higher altitudes and are WAY more accurate/effective. The Mujaheddin, when they were supplied weapons like that from our side of that proxy war, way back, completely shut down the Soviet daytime air operations.
The Soviet Union was a LOT more powerful than Russia, for the same reason NATO is more powerful than the US. In both cases, more people, more land, more resources, more weapons. In the Soviet case, far more distance to the center to capture, with the peripheral countries buffer. It went beyond that in the Soviet case, like better access to the ocean, through the Crimea, one aspect they have regained, and one reason owning western Ukraine was so important to them. Obviously that is just the tip of the iceberg.
@@MrJdsenior Stingers are no good for high altitude threats or targets flying at night and in bad weather. The Ukrainians need more Radar guided MSAM, Namely SA-6 / SA-8 / SA-10 /SA-11 as they know how to operate them. Some NATO countries still use those weapons, but not in great numbers.
OMG you really think that it will show up on flight radar if russia sends in military planes into ukraine? Sorry my friend that is not how it works.
Russia really doesn’t want to face those Typhoons. It’ll be the last sortie those old, Soviet era planes fly.
You really have no clue about the abilities of the Russian armed forces and the technology they have. They are not using their best armaments in this little skirmish. if they had they would have flattened most of Ukraine in a week. Those Typhoons are old school and are not up to par with the current 5th Gen fighters Russia has. I would like to see a Typhoon have to deal with a S400 or S500. It would not stand a chance
@@jamier7073 You are brainwashed by the Russian propaganda. They don't have the numbers. On top of that Typhoons will wipe the floor with the russian jets and also the Rafale
@@jamier7073 yeah I noticed Russia is using old equipments and T72's even their armored vehicles. They're clearly not using the new tech and weapons even the tanks
@@jamier7073 they dont have enough of their top tier equipment to make a difference or to use it in a war because russia is poor. Those new shiny technologically advanced weapons are made as prototypes and barely even tested in real life scenarios also they cost too much for russia to produce on a large scale. And even if they did, an f35outclasses a su57 so the west would still win.
So please first do YOUR research and then talk.
I guess all of the pessimists here have all been to war. You all sound so Knowledgeable!
Exactly.
Just hope we’re not being left vulnerable at home and have sufficient fast interceptor jets left in the UK to counter any Russian threat...
Plenty of fighters at home in the UK , it’s better prepared than it has been in a long time.

Not "sorties" not "sortie", the mission was reconnaissance patrol. NATO attacking from a defensive position would be a, sortie. You bang on about sortie, I was waiting for combat footage and data after you said "sortie", then realised you didn't understand the words coming out of your mouth. @ 3:00 you can see the guy, blank look you, then reconfigured the question to "policing" to de-escalate your question statement. NATO engaged military personnel deserve more respect, we can start with understanding their standards and level of precision, not throwing around inflammatory words then waxing lyrical about "the other side of these uncertain times." Russians watching this report of NATO running sorties from Poland, might rightly encourage their officials to launch in defense to NATO attacking into Russia from Poland per "sortie". Right now we, NATO, have allies in the Russian people who march and protest against this attack on the Ukraine, let's not alienate them with sloppiness.
Thank God for the Royal Airforce
they are decent planes.. it must be difficult flying one of those
Takes like 19 computers to get that beautiful bird to fly and if one computer fails the fighter will just fall out the sky.
Nah, its like riding a bike really...
Thank you NATO for being.
uncertain times for sure it is, war is not a cool thing in reality but its almost like militaries, combat and death are just to critical in mans faults.
Thanks RAF. From Cluj

The purpose of Regulatory Articles (RA) is to provide the framework of policy, rules, directives, standards, processes and the associated direction, advice and guidance, which governs military aviation activity and against which air safety is assessed. The regulator develops regulations in response to applicable UK law, MOD needs, legal changes and recommendations resulting from both assurance or investigation functions.
The Typhoon is still an excellent fighter. Go NATO!
Awesome!
If I was one you guys I would fly right to Putin and give him something he wouldn't want.
I'm glad you are not. Cool heads, my friend. It could possibly come to that, but not yet. Were Ukraine a NATO member, that might be different. NATO/US would definitely drive out and destroy the invading military, but advancing into Russia, that would depend on a myriad of factors. There IS such a thing as common sense, and there IS such a thing as MAD, both connotations. And MAD being ignored is not something you want to see, unless you have a death wish. That said, removing Putin is an excellent idea, MHO, but there are many far less destructive and less traceable ways that that can be accomplished.
04:02 Interesting that they would "Pixelate" the cockpit dials and gauges .
oftentimes things like navigation and radio frequencies will be displayed alongside the gauges in electronic screens like the ones in the aircraft which can be an OPSEC risk so easiest best to blur it all out
In order to establish a No Fly Zone over Ukraine the NATO must first lay waste to the enemy's anti-air defense systems (aka the S-400). That means heavy attack and bomb sorties by NATO assets against the Russian advancing military. And since anti-air systems may be outside Ukraine borders, like in Belarus or Russia, those NATO aircraft will need to cross borders and directly attack that soil. Only after that is successful, NATO can set up CAP sorties to enforce the No Fly Zone. What do you think the losses will be, and what will the Russian tactical changes be with that level of NATO involvement?
When I studied this in the classroom, the conclusion was always moving Tactical Nuclear Weapons into the battlefield environment, and bringing the Ballistic Nuclear Missile fleet into a "launch ready" condition. And I won't tell you what those targets were, but suffice it to say it was not pretty for western Europe. We need to be cautious of escalation.
Already been forcefully pointed out by those who matter - NATO cannot and will not enforce a NFZ
If the war in Ukraine turns in to a real genocide, with more starved cities and murdered citizens on a massive scale, then the West might very well feel obliged to step in. Couldn't be done without the US Air Force but with the combined air forces of Nato, Russia would not stand a chance in the air. Obviously, the risk of further escalation with nuclear weapons can't be ruled out but there is a pressure point where what we see on the ground could potentially make the risk worth it.
That's a beautiful fighter plane is it made in Romania🤔🤩
lol no
It's awsum we been flying along the Ukraine border...with out surveillance aircraft... listening n telling them where they are attacking from!!🇺🇲🇺🇦🙏💯

Putin knows it and he's trying not to mess with them too much. NATO is an alliance, he's alone! That's why he's asking the Chinese for help. Other than nuclear capabilities, Russia has nothing on NATO and I really hope we'll never have to test that in real life.
