Almost a week since #DSEI & we’re still looking ahead.

From AI to Autonomous Uncrewed Aircraft, digital power to people, the RAF is building a future force that’s agile, integrated and ready.

Ready to Fly & Fight, today, tomorrow, together.

[Defence Operations 🇬🇧 @DefenceOps]

🚀 Future on display.

📍Last week, DSEI took over ExCel, showcasing the innovation driving tomorrow’s Ops.

⚙️From cutting-edge tech to joint force integration, #DSEI2025 showed the best of UK Defence.

💡@CSOC_MOD & Tri-Service teams delivered displays of @DefenceHQ excellence.

We flew a group of RAF Air Cadets to @airtattoo this year! The Cadets offer a wide range of opportunities, even for adult volunteers. Who knows, we could be flying you in to RIAT next time.

Powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for the first time in a public performance, this is the #RedArrows’ over #London to mark HM The King’s Official Birthday. In addition to using a blend of SAF for propulsion, the team’s coloured vapour trails were created using a biofuel.

Teamwork above the clouds 🇬🇧 ✈️ 🇩🇪

⛽ At night, RAF Typhoons refuel from Luftwaffe A400M - a vital link that extends reach, endurance and operational flexibility.

@RAFView An age old debate - how do the fuel costs compare with the amount of tourism revenue generated by this sort of pageantry, £10 for every £1 spent?

@AlfieHouseEcho No VAR
We can celebrate every goal
We’ll be on TV more often
Win more than we lose
A sense of hope
Out with the old, in with the new
No betting sponsor??
Pompey x2
New manager, new players, new kit
A buoyant and bouncing SMS
A fresh start
😇😇

This #Remembrance, we honour the sacrifices of the @RoyalNavy men & women, who braved the seas to protect our way of life.🌊

Their legacy lives on in those who serve today, upholding the same values of courage & commitment.🌺

We remember them with every watch we stand.⚓️

[Colin Mathieson @colinmathieson]

I maybe somewhat biased, but this really is an outstanding video from the team @DefenceOps !!

[Defence Operations 🇬🇧 @DefenceOps]

The courage and dedication of the men and women of the @RoyalAirForce who came before us will never be forgotten.🌺

This #Remembrance we stand united in gratitude for the heroic actions, past and present, of those defending our skies and freedom. ✈️

We will remember them.

[Defence Operations 🇬🇧 @DefenceOps]

Today, we pause to remember the sacrifices of @BritishArmy heroes who stood for our freedom in years past.🪖

Their sacrifices shaped our nation.

As we remember their service, we also give thanks to the soldiers of today, who continue to uphold that legacy.🌺

#Remembrance
