Lots of discussion around UK helicopters recently. @Justin_Br0nk and I will be launching a new @RUSI_org report on maximising the utility of the @BritishArmy's combat aviation on 27 April at 1500. If you want to know more about @1st_Aviation sign up here: https://t.co/rCXAAaL4Sp

659 Squadron are deployed to Lithuania at the moment. Among them are not one, but two budding photographers AND the newly acquired Regimental Photography kit. And this is what we get in return.... great shot. @Si_Army_Pilot you can rest easy...we’ve got this. 🤣
Delighted to welcome Defence Secretary Ben Wallace MP and CSA to Army Warfighting Experiment 2020. Creating a new ‘digital and data backbone’ connecting multiple sensors & systems to the soldier in real time. So troops are more agile, more lethal and more protected. @BritishAWE
