Eurofighter Plays Key Role in Ramstein Flag

Held from 31 March to 11 April and hosted by the Royal Netherlands Air Force at the Leeuwarden Air Force Base, the large-scale, multi-domain exercise involved more than 90 Allied aircraft operating from 12 air bases, with participation from over 15 NATO nations.

Eurofighter Typhoons from the UK’s 1(F) Squadron, based at RAF Lossiemouth, and Germany’s Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 71 ‘Richthofen’, based in Wittmund, contributed to a wide range of high-intensity missions throughout the exercise.

Designed to strengthen interoperability and resilience, Ramstein Flag focused on contested and complex airspace operations. Aircrew trained across key mission areas, including Counter Anti-Access/Area Denial (C-A2AD), Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD) and Agile Combat Employment (ACE).

"Ramstein Flag is a great demonstration of the RAF’s ability to integrate into NATO operations at range. The opportunity to learn from our NATO allies in a high-profile exercise is invaluable." said Wing Commander Morris, Officer Commanding 1(F) Squadron

Germany’s 71 Tactical Air Wing ‘Richthofen’ also deployed its Typhoons to strengthen tactical integration with Allied air forces and demonstrate the aircraft’s flexibility across both offensive and defensive missions.

As one of NATO’s largest and most ambitious air exercises, Ramstein Flag 2025 set a new benchmark for operational integration – once again highlighting the Eurofighter Typhoon’s critical role in collective defence and rapid response operations.
