RAF Sentinel R1 Taking Off in the Middle East

An RAF Sentinel R1 from 5(AC) Sqn at 902 EAW.
902 Expeditionary Air Wing (902 EAW) provides focussed support to ISAF and Coalition ground forces in Afghanistan, and support other force elements in the region, by supporting a detachment of Sentinel R1 aircraft from V(AC) Squadron.
Sentinel provides an essential intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance capability which enables ground force commanders to make real-time decisions on the tactical and operational use of force based on detailed information from the aircrafts sensors.
Typical operations for 902 EAWs Sentinel detachment include overwatch of ground forces during operations, the detection and tracking of enemy forces and interdiction of their supply routes. 902 EAWs personnel provide the ground and technical support that allow its Force Elements (FE), totaling around 200 personnel, to deliver air power where required

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the awe-inspiring moment of an RAF Sentinel R1 taking off in the Middle East. This particular aircraft belongs to 5 (AC) Sqn at 902 EAW, which is a crucial component of the 902 Expeditionary Air Wing (902 EAW). The primary objective of this air wing is to provide dedicated support to ISAF and Coalition ground forces in Afghanistan, as well as other force elements in the region. Equipped with advanced intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance capabilities, the Sentinel R1 plays a vital role in enabling ground force commanders to make informed decisions based on real-time information from its sensors. The detachment's operations involve overseeing ground forces during missions, detecting and tracking enemy movements, and disrupting their supply routes. To accomplish these tasks effectively, around 200 personnel from 902 EAW work tirelessly to provide both technical expertise and necessary groundwork support. Their efforts ensure that air power can be delivered precisely where it is needed most. This image showcases not only the impressive technology embodied by the RAF Sentinel R1 but also serves as a reminder of the dedication and skill exhibited by all those involved in supporting our armed forces abroad.
