In this special report, Sky News gains exclusive access to the RAF's Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) squad.
Based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, the team is responsible for protecting Britain's skies and is ready to scramble, in Eurofighter Typhoon jets, at a moment's notice.
Defence Correspondent Alistair Bunkall goes inside the UK's top secret nuclear bunker and talks the pilots who would have to shoot down hostile aircraft.

  • I feel the United Kingdom have the best terrestrial and Special Forces in the word. This opinion is based my experience of 20 years in the RAF and having mingled with other military members from around the world. I live in America now and I also feel British people are generally more informed and better educated. We may not be able to effect 'full spectrum dominance' or have an annual $650 billion budget to equip us, and we may also be a nation in decline, but we do have some very well trained, very effecient and highly motivated people in the British military and we should all be very proud of the British Armed Forces, especially UKSF, who, if they are not the best (because I simply don't know) are the blue print for all SF that came after them. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸

    • The problem with sending modern equipment back in time is that modern equipment couldn't possibly be maintained back then. They would be able to fly for 20 minutes before their fuel or ammunition runs out and then they would become either useless or it would take a substantial amount of time to get them airworthy again.

    • FallenPhoenix86 Jamie Ball I don't think FallenPhoenix86 is saying that the job of fast jet pilot isn't challenging (at least I hope he isn't) just that QRA is usually one of the least challenging parts because it normally involves sitting around (or trying to sleep) waiting for something that probably won't happen. There is a lot of being a fast jet pilot that is considerably more difficult than that.

  • My dad was ln SAC during the cuban missle crisis. 12 B52s took off from Fairchild and where refuelled in air for hours . To say he was stressed would be an understatement. My mom and me where evacuated to the mountains in idaho with a box of 3 day rations and a gallon jug each of water. Dad told me a few years ago how close we came to WW3. It was only because comms between ussr and DC were so slow it gave both sides time to think. Not like that today. Stay safe.
