(asked on 6th June 2022) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Tempest squadrons (1) will be flown by the Royal Air Force, and (2) will have Royal Air Force squadron designations.
This question was answered on 20th June 2022
We are developing concepts for a Future Combat Air System (FCAS), to be operated by the RAF. FCAS is intended to replace the capabilities provided by our Typhoon aircraft, as set out in the Integrated Review. As such, any decisions on squadron designations will not need to be taken until later in the next decade.
