Exercise Rummy: RAF Typhoons with French nuclear-capable Rafales
One report says France and the UK held their first joint airborne nuclear-strike exercise, named Rummy, on 20–21 October 2026. It says RAF Typhoons escorted French Strategic Air Forces Rafales from Saint-Dizier during a simulated mission over the Mediterranean. The report says at least three RAF Typhoons took part, in an escort role rather than a UK strike role. Only one secondary source was found, so this item needs confirmation from an official source.
