UK Eurofighter Typhoon operations are now predominately orientated to supporting NATO allies in Eastern Europe, with nearly 50 sorties a month being flown along the borders of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.

The Royal Air Force (RAF) missions over the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and Poland have dramatically increased since the Russian invasion of Ukraine at the end of February 2022. They now surpass the number of sorties flown per month as part of Operation ‘Shader' in the Middle East against Islamic State insurgents. RAF operations over Eastern Europe are part of NATO's Enhanced Vigilance Patrols, which are designed to reassure alliance members in the region.

The sortie data was provided to Janes under the provisions of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act on 29 November, and covers the period from the beginning of 2021 to the end of November 2022.
