Well, the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, says the UK will send four fighter jets to Qatar to strengthen UK defensive operations as the US Israel strikes on Iran.

英國首相施凱爾表示，英國將派遣四架戰鬥機前往卡達，以加強英國的防禦性行動，同時美國也對伊朗發動了打擊。

Well, with me here in the studio is Mikey K, military analyst for the security brief.

好的，在我旁邊演播室的是安全簡報的軍事分析師 Mikey K。

Mikey, I can think of no better person to explain to me exactly what these jets are, what their role is going to be and how important are they to this maneuver.

Mikey，我想不到有比你更適合的人來跟我解釋這些戰鬥機到底是什麼，它們的角色將會是什麼，以及它們對這次行動有多重要。

We can just bring up a picture of the Typhoon to show the viewers what it looks like, the Typhoon.

我們可以秀出 Typhoon 的圖片，讓觀眾看看它長什麼樣子，就是 Typhoon。

We're going to get that in a second, Mike, but

in the meantime, just explain to me what exactly these, these Typhoons are.

在這之前，先跟我說說，這些 Typhoon 到底是什麼？

Yeah, so Typhoons basically have been deployed to Arif Akateri already.

對，所以 Typhoon 其實已經部署到 Arif Akateri 了。

There are Typhoons already out in, in Qatar now.

Noticeable because you've got the front canards.

But it makes the aircraft incredibly maneuverable and the, the two engines that it's got extremely powerful.

但這讓這架飛機機動性超強，而且它配備的兩具引擎非常強大。

So it's a, it's a very potent capability.

所以這是一個非常強大的能力。

But there are already these jets, Typhoons already out in Qatar.

但這些戰鬥機，Typhoon 已經在卡達了。

They have a relationship with the Qataris and they were deployed before Operation Epic Fury actually kicked off.

牠們跟卡達有關係，而且在 Operation Epic Fury 正式展開前就已經部署了。

The UK sent them out, they send them out on a regular basis, but

英國把它們派出去，而且是定期派出去，但是

obviously they were stepping up the presence just to show support.

很明顯地，他們是加強部署來表達支持。

The Prime Minister has annotated that an extra four of these aircraft, the Typhoons, will go to Qatar and that extends the capability in the region because there's already typhoons and F35s at Arifakaturi.

總理宣佈，另外四架 Typhoon 戰鬥機將會前往卡達，這擴展了該區域的能力，因為 Arifakaturi 已經有 Typhoon 和 F35s 了。

Now your question on what will they do in military parlance, Maryland we call this Defensive Counter Air, it's called dca.

現在你問到在軍事術語裡，這會做什麼，我們稱之為 Defensive Counter Air，也就是 dca。

And what that means is they'll come out and they'll probably do two jobs.

這意味著它們會出動，而且可能會執行兩項任務。

They'll probably do cruise missile defense and they'll probably do drone cap, which is Combat Air Patrol.

它們可能會執行巡弋飛彈防禦，以及無人機巡邏，也就是 Combat Air Patrol。

Basically it's jets getting airborne, either going into a racetrack and making sure that their radars are pointed towards the threat, which is easterly, and

基本上就是戰鬥機升空，然後進入一個定點空域，確保雷達對準威脅方向，也就是東方，並且

looking for anything on the radar that is coming across the horizon.

在雷達上尋找任何在地平線上出現的目標。

That when interrogated with what's called a Mode 5, which is a cryptic identification, friend or foe, that sent to whatever the blip is.

當透過 Mode 5 詢問時，這是一種加密的敵我識別，會發送給任何出現的目標。

If nothing comes back, then what they'll do is they'll use what's called a tracking pod with an electro optic camera usually carried under the center line of the aircraft.

如果沒有回應，他們就會使用一種叫做追蹤莢艙的東西，裡面通常搭載著一個掛在機腹中線的電光攝影機。

And if they can't get a cryptic message back saying it's Mode 5, whatever is they're looking at.

如果收不到加密訊息說這是 Mode 5，不管是他們看到什麼。

Then they'll go in closer, they'll get a positive ID with the pod and then they'll set up themselves in order to get some sort of targeting solution.

然後他們就會靠近一點，用莢艙進行確認辨識，接著部署好自己，以便獲得某種目標鎖定方案。

And that can be from the 12 o', clock, or they can do what's called a stern conversion and they can come in from the rear.

這可以是從十二點鐘方向，或者他們可以進行所謂的後方轉換，從後方接近。

So a four of these jets, a big commitment by us, given we already have some there.

所以這四架戰鬥機，對我們來說是個重大的承諾，因為我們已經在那裡部署了一些。

We don't know total numbers at the moment because things are changing.

目前我們不知道確切的數量，因為情況一直在變。

I think what's important is, is that what are they trying to achieve?

我認為重要的是，他們試圖達成什麼目標？

And there's a number of ways of cutting this.

So we've spoken about Quick Reaction Alert.

所以我們談到了快速反應警報。

There's Quick Reaction alert In the UK, that's a 24 7, 365 day standby.

英國有快速反應警報，這是全年無休的待命。

And that basically takes place from RAF Lossiemouth right in north of Scotland, or RAF Coningsby down in Lincolnshire.

這主要是在蘇格蘭北部的 RAF Lossiemouth 或林肯郡的 RAF Coningsby 進行。

Now, they might apply the same sort of principle.

現在，他們可能會應用類似的原則。

So there might be a day line for what's called standing Combat Air Patrol, and

所以可能有一條日線，用於所謂的戰鬥空中巡邏，

that would cover cruise missile defense and drone defense.

這將涵蓋巡弋飛彈防禦和無人機防禦。

And there might be a night line which is proactive, where they go up and do the same thing.

可能還有一條夜線，是主動式的，他們會升空做同樣的事情。

But there also might be a line which is Quick Reaction Alert at Ra Fakateri, because obviously, you know, the threat is 24 7.

但可能還有一條戰備線，因為顯然威脅是全天候的。

And so when these standing caps are up, they might not get any drones or cruise missiles coming across the horizon.

所以當這些戰備警戒就緒時，他們可能就不會讓任何無人機或巡弋飛彈越過地平線。

But they also need to be prepared to act very reactively.

但他們也需要隨時準備好快速反應。

We're talking about three to five minutes to go from sitting in the crew room, in the cockpit, starting the engines and getting airborne.

我們在談論的是，從坐在休息室、座艙、發動引擎到升空，有三到五分鐘的時間。

No, they literally sit on Quick Reaction Alert.

沒錯，他們真的就處於快速反應警戒狀態。

The pilots actually sit in all of their gear.

G pants, they have the vests on, they've got the helmet by the side and that literally.

穿著抗G褲，穿著背心，頭盔放在旁邊，然後就這樣。

麥克，我感覺有點《捍衛戰士》的 fu 了。

嗯，這是不是有點暴露年齡了？

Depends whether it was Top Gun 1 or Maverick.

這要看是講《捍衛戰士 1》還是《捍衛戰士：獨行俠》。

But if we're talking about a Quick Reaction alert, which didn't happen in Top Gun, by the way, we're talking about qra.

但如果我們在講快速反應警戒，這在《捍衛戰士》裡沒有出現，我們在講 qra。

QRA will be a critical capability and the standing Combat Air patrols will be a critical capability.

QRA 會是一項關鍵能力，常態性的戰鬥空中巡邏也會是一項關鍵能力。

Now, in order to get all of those lines and 24 hour, 24 hour cover, you have to have quite a few spare jets in order to achieve that.

現在，為了達成全天候、二十四小時的支援，你得要有不少備用戰鬥機才能做到。

So they're putting a certain number out there.

所以他們會部署一定數量的戰機。

The engineers will tell them how many lines they can go with for how many jets, and

工程師會告訴他們能用多少架戰機執行多少任務，

then they'll develop a defensive counter air tactical protocol on that.

然後他們會發展出相應的防禦性反空戰術協議。

Okay, Mikey K, always good to get your expertise.

好的，Mikey K，很高興聽到你的專業分析。
