UK F-35 LIGHTNINGS are set to spearhead air operations from the deck of the Prince of Wales carrier as Nato chiefs counter the growing threat from Russia in the High North. Britain’s Carrier Strike Group will join the multi-national operation to guard the Iceland and Greenland gap to boost security across the Arctic region.
