Exercise Formidable Shield: RAF Typhoons test HMS Dragon's sensors during training in Norway

RAF Typhoons have undergone training in Norway as part of Exercise Formidable Shield.

The jets trained with the Royal Navy and Nato ships and created tactics to improve Nato's defence against ballistic missiles.

The jets, which have an 11m wingspan, worked as targets to help HMS Dragon's sensors with some tricky presentations throughout the drills.

• Ex Formidable Shield: Nato's largest live-fire naval exercise in Europe gets underway
• Royal Navy warship destroys supersonic missile in historic first off the coast of Scotland
• It's a mix of drones, swarm tactics and Baltic drills for the Royal Navy's little warships

The Typhoons were also refuelled by a Voyager from RAF Brize Norton while flying in the exercise.

It comes after HMS Dragon destroyed a supersonic missile for the first time ever in a test off Scotland's coast earlier in the exercise.

Exercise Formidable Shield is the largest live-fire naval exercise in Europe.

The first part of the exercise will take place at the Andøya firing range in Norway before going onto the Hebrides Range in Scotland.

The 10 countries will work together in the naval-led operation, while Norway, the UK and the United States will also be involved in an aviation role.

The RAF Typhoons, the UK's main multi-role combat aircraft, will form the exercise's air assets, along with Norway's F-35 Lightnings.

The allies will share tactical data, engage in Nato-level planning and practise coordinated responses to difficult scenarios.

The integrated air and missile defence (IAMD) exercise will finish at the end of May.
