The UK Royal Air Force (RAF) has announced that it will be engaged in multiple military exercises that will see it training with multiple nations in the Indo-Pacific—including Australia, Japan, and the Republic of Korea—until December as part of the country’s continued tilt toward the region.

A flight of four Typhoon fighters and one Voyager air-to-air refuelling aircraft from the RAF travelled to Australia to participate in Exercise Pitch Black in Darwin alongside 100 other aircraft and 2,500 personnel from 17 different countries.
