TYPHOONS HAVE deployed to Poland to practise dogfighting ahead of a crucial summit where Britain will call on Allies to keep up the pressure on Russia. Four jets supported by 50 RAF personnel are launching combat drills close to the border with Ukraine ahead of the Warsaw Security Forum. The fighters will join Allied aircraft from Poland, Spain and Italy to practise targeting beyond visual range and to simulate combat scenarios. Defence Minister James Heappey is expected to visit the Typhoon Force and British troops deployed in eastern Poland to operate the Sky Sabre missile system. He will join Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office ministers AnneMarie Trevelyan and Lord Ahmad at the Warsaw Security Forum to stress the need to maintain support for Ukraine as it continues to repel Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion. The two-week deployment is one of many joint exercises with Polish forces, including the permanent deployment of hundreds of British soldiers in the country as part of Nato's Operation Cabrit. Earlier this year, UK and Polish foreign secretaries and Defence ministers signed a strategic partnership underlining both countries’ commitment to European security and Nato.
