EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the NATO capability enhancement training taking place in Estonia, specifically showcasing the British Army's 16th Regiment Royal Artillery deployed under NATO's Trans-Atlantic Capability Enhancement and Training (TACET) initiative. As the sole Short Range Air Defence regiment in the British forces, their crucial role is to provide low-level air defence over the battlefield. Equipped with the land-based Rapier Air Defence system, they are responsible for safeguarding vital resources like airfields and bases. Comprising a launcher armed with eight ready-to-fire missiles, a surveillance radar, and tracker system, the Regiment's Rapier system is at the forefront of advanced technology. Drawing upon their extensive experience from conducting air defence and surveillance operations worldwide, these soldiers and airmen have been deployed to Estonia to enhance their hosts' understanding of Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD). Additionally, they aim to exercise effective Command and Control required for successful Airfield Defence operations. Developed by MBDA (previously Matra BAe Dynamics), Rapier Field Standard C is an exceptional short-range air defence system currently utilized by the Royal Artillery. This 24-hour all-weather guided weapon system serves as a critical defense against fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), and cruise missiles within limited areas. Remarkably versatile, it can engage two targets simultaneously while remaining compact, mobile, and easily transportable via air—a feature that makes it suitable for global operations. This print encapsulates both expertise in action during training exercises as well as cutting-edge military technology employed by dedicated servicemen committed to upholding international security through NATO cooperation.
