100th ARW Simulates First Refuel of RAF P-8 Poseidon in Cobra Warrior 25-2
An RAF P-8A Poseidon from the 42 (Torpedo Bomber) Squadron, RAF Lossiemouth, United Kingdom, approaches a KC-135 Stratotanker from the 100th Air Refueling Wing, RAF Mildenhall, United Kingdom, for a simulated aerial refueling exercise during Cobra Warrior 25-2 over the North Sea, Sept. 17, 2025. Cobra Warrior 25-2, the Royal Air Force’s premier tactical training event, provided opportunities for allied and partner nation air forces to learn from one another, including during this first ever simulated aerial refueling exercise between a U.S. Air Force KC-135 and an RAF P-8 Poseidon.
