A C-130 Hercules carrying Prime Minister Rishi Sunak lands at RAF Coningsby in Linconshire following the announcement that Britain will work to develop next-generation fighter jets with Italy and Japan. The jets, called Tempest in the UK, are to take to the skies by 2035 and serve as a successor to the RAF Typhoon. The ambition is for the planes developed under the global combat air programme (GCAP) to be enhanced by capabilities including uncrewed aircraft, advanced sensors and cutting-edge weapons.
