Summary[edit]
DescriptionExercise Polish Dancer 05. MOD 45146102.jpg |
English: 801 Naval Air Squadron completed a 2-week Air Defence Exercise with the Polish Air Force, based at Miroslawiec, in North Western Poland, the sole remaining Sea Harrier Squadron enjoyed fine weather and excellent hospitality throughout "Exercise Polish Dancer 05", whilst achieving some good training with Su22 'Fitter' and Mig 29 'Fulcrum' aircraft.
Hosted by the 8th Tactical Squadron - based at Miroslawiec - 801's pilots conducted a number of useful combined tactical missions, introducing the 'Fitter' pilots to NATO standard procedures and tactics. These missions included dropping practice bombs on the excellent Air-to-Ground ranges in the vicinity of Miroslawiec, which were vast and scattered with redundant Eastern-bloc tanks and aircraft (now utilised as targets!). The second week allowed integration with the 'Fulcrums' - one of the most capable Soviet built fighters - of 1st Air Tactical Brigade, based near Warsaw, flying in Air Defence missions in Central Poland. The combination of the Sea Harrier Blue Vixen radar and AMRAAM missiles were dominant over the Polish equivalents, though the Mig-29 did excel when engaged in visual 'dogfights'. "Exercise Polish Dancer 05" continued the progressive integration of the Polish Air Force to NATO procedures and operations achieved by previous UK detachments, and cemented a very strong working relationship between both nations.
