British military personnel working behind the scenes are the unsung heroes of the RAF mission in Estonia, according to those on the ground at the Amari Air Base.
Hundreds of RAF staff, ranging from pilots and engineers to weaponry experts; are currently deployed at the eastern European air base, tasked with upholding security as part of Nato’s Baltic air police mission.
The Operation Azotize mission began in March 2023 and has seen Typhoon jets intercept unauthorised aircraft from Russia over the Baltic Sea.
While the jets cannot be missed during take-off and landing, behind the scenes a whole squad of personnel are working “tirelessly” to keep the cogs turning.
