Last deployment for 'Grim Reapers'?

摘要

Despite it being widely reported the unit had stood down from operational flying on February 3, 2022, the UK-based 48th Fighter Wing's 493rd Fighter Squadron 'Grim Reapers' at RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk, deployed eight of its F-15C/D Eagles armed with live AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles (AMRAAMs) fitted to Lask Air Base (AB), Poland, on February 10. This was to "enhance NATO's collective defence posture and support its enhanced air-policing mission and work with other Allies throughout the region, practicing air-to-air and air-to-ground training manoeuvres."
