Fighter Jets Over Uk

[Maydup]

Fighter jets have being flying overhead in East Anglia constantly this afternoon. I've been aware of much increased activity over the past couple of weeks but nothing as intense as today. Anyone have any news on it?

The F15s from Lakenheath have been up since about 6.30 this morning.

The Qatar air force also has some F15s in the UK atm, I think.

The Royal Air Force (RAF) is currently conducting Exercise Cobra Warrior, a large-scale air exercise involving multiple nations, with its main hub at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire, from February 24 to March 14, 2025.

I think Cobra Warrior is more in the north of england, scotland and wales (although the typhoons from Marham will undoubtedly be involved).  With a fair wind, we can hear them take off from Lakeheath.  The noise is incredible.

Thanks, it's been deafening but eased up now!

I saw Osprey helicopters circling a couple of times this week too. That was at the coast.
