๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” MQ-25A "Stingray" unmanned aerial refueling aircraft soon to be in service with the U.S. Navy has been moved to Schedule C, meaning that it has been approved for production.

The primary use for the MQ-25A will be to free up the F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" fighter jets for increased strike missions, as under the current system, some F/A-18s are required to refuel their fellow F/A-18s. Once the MQ-25A enters service, this will no longer be necessary.

The first MQ-25A aircrafts could enter service this year, however production delays could mean it will enter service in 2027.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐ŸŒŸ- The first Boeing E-7 Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning (AEW) Mk1 aircraft destined for the RAF has arrived at RAF Lossiemouth today, following its departure from STS Aviation Services at Birmingham Airport.

โžก๏ธ Registered as "WT001," the aircraft is now continuing its test and evaluation phase at its future Main Operating Base, with testing split between MOD Boscombe Down and RAF Lossiemouth.

โžก๏ธ Once the Test and Evaluation phase is complete, WT001 will be formally handed over to the RAF and operated by 8 Squadron. It will serve alongside the RAF's nine Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, both of which are based on the Boeing 737 Next Generation airframe, allowing for operational synergies between the two fleets.

โžก๏ธ The Wedgetail is the Royal Air Force's next-generation airborne early warning and control platform, providing long-range surveillance, battle management, and command and control for air and joint operations. The aircraft is already in service with the Royal Australian, South Korean, and Turkish air forces.
