Exclusive: photos of the UK's first H-47 Extended Range Chinook at our factory in Philadelphia.
With 14 on order, the @RoyalAirForce will be the first international operator of a Block II Chinook, helping the UK fly farther and carry more in support of its missions.

Personnel and aircraft have deployed to Bardufoss, Norway, for Op Clockwork, training more than 200nm inside the Arctic Circle alongside the Royal Norwegian Air Force.

UK Defence is investing in agile tech to stay ahead. First Person View (FPV) drones can jam targets, scout terrain, and strike targets — all in one flight.
A trial deploying FPVs from an RAF Chinook helicopter called Hornets Nest was recently completed.
