Four stealth fighter jets are being sent to Iceland, marking the first time British F-35B Lightning aircraft have policed Nato skies.
The mission began this week and involves RAF pilots from 617 Squadron, based at RAF Marham in Norfolk, patrolling the Nato Arctic region, the Ministry of Defence said.
The deployment is part of Nato's permanent peacetime air policing mission, for which fighter aircraft and crews maintain a continuous presence and stand ready to react to possible airspace violations.
