One of the themes of #RIAT24 is the 75th anniversary of NATO. From securing NATO's Eastern Flank, to providing strategic transport, air-to-air refuelling and medical evacuation capabilities, to strengthening sovereignty, Airbus aircraft have become indispensable assets for NATO missions. Right now, various NATO members and units are using our #A330MRTT, #A400M and #Eurofighter aircraft in #PacificSkies24 to strengthen international cooperation and readiness. We are #StrongerTogether!

#ArcticDefender, the first leg of one the largest air exercises to date - #PacificSkies24 - is coming to an end. Let's recap what happened: The exercise has been led by the German Air Force. It has seen the three #FCAS nations 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸 train together with their US and Canadian allies in Alaska, and aims to simulate a so called NATO Article 5 scenario i.e. #NATO partners are to take necessary actions in case one member state is under attack. For the first time, the European Air Transport Command has trained air-to-air refuelling outside of European air space. During the missions, #A330MRTTs of the Armée de l’air et de l’espace and NATO's Multinational MRTT Unit have provided fuel to German Tornados, Spanish and German #Eurofighter but also fighter jets from France and the US, demonstrating their interoperability with allied aircraft.

📢 News about #GriffinStrike: Royal Air Force (RAF) #Eurofighter Typhoons and an #A330MRTT 'Voyager' together with a #A400M, have arrived in Darwin 🇦🇺, ready to begin Exercise #PitchBlack. To get there the RAF deployed as a joint exercise with the Armée de l’air et de l’espace. Exercise Griffin Strike has seen British and French aircraft (A330 MRTT 'Phénix', A400M & French fighter jets) fly from France to the Middle East, then on to Singapore before finally travelling to Australia.

#PacificSkies24 and #PEGASE24 - two major global exercises that the Armée de l’air et de l’espace is currently participating in. What's different and how are they related? Let's take a closer look: This year, PEGASE is divided into different stages, some of which are happening at the same time. Westbound, the French detachment consisting of #A400Ms, #A330MRTTs 'Phénix' and French fighter jets are taking part in Pacific Skies for which they met up with the German and Spanish Air and Space Force in Goose Bay 🇨🇦 and then headed to the USA for joint exercise Arctic Defender in Alaska. 🇺🇸 Afterwards, they will fly with the two #FCAS partner nations 🇩🇪🇪🇸 to Australia via Japan to participate in exercise #PitchBlack. Eastbound, another 250 French troops are engaging in exercise #GriffinStrike together with the Royal Air Force (RAF). 🇬🇧 This example of military force projection that saw French A330 MRTTs refuel British #Eurofighter over the Red Sea included a short stopover in Singapore. Accompanied by the A330 MRTTs of the Republic of Singapore Air Force 🇸🇬, the three nations have now arrived in Australia for Pitch Black. 🇦🇺 After Pitch Black, exercise PEGASE 2024 will conclude with the French Air and Space Force returning to France via the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, India - for exercise Tarang Shakti - Qatar and Egypt.

🔎 Let's zoom in on the #A330MRTT ✈️ Exercise #PacificSkies24 is in full swing and during the complex missions, the A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport's capabilities are coming into their own. As a key asset of military force projection, it has just reached a combined 300,000 flight hours and here are some examples of how it is being used: Arctic Defender 🇺🇸: For the deployment from Nörvenich air base 🇩🇪 to Alaska, the German 🇩🇪 and Spanish 🇪🇸 Eurofighters were accompanied by four A330 MRTTs of NATO's Multinational MRTT Unit (MMU) and two French 'Phénix' 🇫🇷 - the largest tanker formation ever flown by the MMU. By refuelling 4-5 times during the light, the jets were able to fly nonstop to Goose Bay 🇨🇦 within 5-6 hours. From there, they continued onwards to their final destination where the MMU's tanker aircraft will conduct 3 to 4 aerial refuelling missions per day until July 17th. Mission Pegase 2024 🇫🇷: The French A330 MRTTs 'Phénix' are deployed to both the East and West. Besides partaking in Arctic Defender, the Armée de l’air et de l’espace is also engaged in exercise "Griffin Strike" which will see them train with the Royal Air Force (RAF). 🇬🇧 On their way to Australia 🇦🇺 to eventually join the multinational exercise #PitchBlack, the Anglo-French detachment will stopover in Singapore 🇸🇬 and head eastbound with the Republic of Singapore Air Force's MRTTs. 🔜 Pitch Black 🇦🇺: As many as 20 nations will participate for three weeks in the biennial exercise. Of the over 100 aircraft involved, nearly the entire family of Airbus military aircraft will be present, including the Royal Australian Air Force's A330 MRTTs. Flying in large formations of up to 50 aircraft, and training day and night ops, the exercise serves to enhance operational readiness, interoperability, and strengthen cooperation among the participating nations.
