Airforce Technology: F-22 Fighters and Typhoons deploy to Estonia 

F-22 fighters and Typhoon jets have deployed to Estonia to support Nato's Eastern flank and deter aggression in the Baltic. 

 US Air Force (USAF) F-22s have deployed to Amari Air Base in Estonia, joining Royal Air Force (RAF) Typhoons already deployed to the country as they support Nato Allied Air Command’s Air Shielding mission to deter aggression in the Baltic Sea region on 8 May. 

The USAF F-22 fighters joined RAF Typhoon jets that recently returned to Estonia to police the airspace of Nato’s eastern border with a backdrop of conflict in Ukraine as part of Operation Azotize, which began in March.
