The United Kingdom has sent several RAF pilots and their Tornado fighters to Utah’s Hill Air Force Base, where they’ve been flying an average of 12 air-to-ground sorties a day on the Utah Test and Training Range, reports KUTV and Associated Press news service. The UTTR gives the RAF pilots an environment similar to what they might find in Southwest Asia.
BAE Systems has received a contract from Lockheed Martin to install an upgraded Block 4 electronic warfare system into new F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, as well as to retrofit some older jets.
