The United States has deployed Rockwell B-1B Lancer bombers to the United Kingdom, with the Bomber Task Force (BTF) arriving at Royal Air Force (RAF) Fairford in Gloucestershire on 6 October.

Aircraft and personnel from the 9th Expeditionary Bomber Squadron at Dyess Air Forces Base (AFB) in Texas arrived at RAF Fairford for a “long-planned Bomber Task Force mission, a regularly scheduled US European Command [USEUCOM] and US Strategic Command joint mission series”, the USAF said.

“USEUCOM has been conducting BTF missions since 2018, which have consisted of rotations of B-1B Lancers, [Boeing] B-52H Stratofortresses, and, most recently, Northrop Grumman B-2A Spirits. The series of US Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa missions allow US bomber crews to deploy to unfamiliar airfields and integrate with a range of coalition allies and partners to enhance readiness,” it added.

The USAF did not disclose how many B-1Bs were deployed, but online flight tracker websites monitored two aircraft arriving at RAF Fairford under the callsign ‘Remus'.
