Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter jets have successfully landed on and taken off from a regular road for the first time. Two of the RAF’s frontline jets tested and proved the capability in Finland as part of Exercise Baana. The Finnish Air Force’s annual training exercise took place on a single-lane road in Tervo, which is usually used for normal road traffic.

For 52 weeks of the year the Strip is used as a public highway but during periods of training or in the event of conflict, it can be used as a fully operational runway as it is specially designed as an emergency landing strip to sustain aircraft activity if required.

As well as RAF Typhoons from RAF Coningsby, F/A-18 Hornet & F-35A Lightning II also exercised there dispersed location capability.

The RAF is focusing on ways to conduct Agile Combat Employment to outmanoeuvre an adversary – to survive an attack, disperse to remote locations and continue operating with minimal support.
