On the 25th of July eight United States Air Force Fairchild A-10Cs arrived at Amari Air Base in Estonia as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve.
The aircraft are from the 442nd Fighter Wing based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and arrived in the Baltic nation after a two week deployment to RAF Leeming in the United Kingdom.
In Estonia they will train alongside the Royal Air Force Typhoons presently deployed there and work with Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian joint terminal controllers on the Tapa Weapons Range.
