英國與法國國防部宣布，兩國近日完成代號「RUMMY」的首次空中核打擊聯合演習，透過戰機協同、空中加油及任務分工，驗證雙方的作業互通性與聯合作戰能力。此次演習也凸顯英法持續深化核嚇阻合作，並強化歐洲安全架構的政策方向。

The United Kingdom and France have announced the completion of their first joint airborne nuclear strike exercise, codenamed “RUMMY.” Through coordinated fighter operations, aerial refueling and mission-specific roles, the exercise tested interoperability and combined operational capabilities. It also highlighted both countries’ efforts to deepen nuclear deterrence cooperation and strengthen Europe’s security framework.

颱風與飆風聯合出動　模擬地中海核打擊任務

英國皇家空軍派遣「颱風」（Typhoon）戰機前往法國聖戴齊空軍基地，與法國航太軍「飆風」（Rafale）戰機於20日至21日在法國境內及地中海上空執行「RUMMY」聯演。演習模擬法軍飆風戰機對地中海目標執行核打擊任務，英軍颱風則負責防禦性制空護航，協助確保打擊機隊完成任務。

The Royal Air Force deployed Typhoon fighters to Saint-Dizier Air Base in France to join French Air and Space Force Rafale fighters for the RUMMY exercise on the 20th and 21st, operating over French territory and the Mediterranean. The scenario simulated French Rafale aircraft conducting a nuclear strike against a target in the Mediterranean, with British Typhoons providing defensive counter-air escort to protect the strike package.

演習期間，法軍A330多用途空中加油運輸機（A330 MRTT）也為英法戰機執行空中加油，展現兩國在戰機協同、空中支援與任務執行方面的整合能力。英法透過不同機種分工，演練核打擊任務所需的支援與護航流程。

A French A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft also provided aerial refueling for British and French fighters during the exercise. The activity demonstrated the two air forces’ ability to coordinate fighter operations, airborne support and mission execution, rehearsing the escort and support procedures required for a nuclear strike mission.

落實《諾斯伍德宣言》　協調獨立核嚇阻力量

Implementing the Northwood Declaration to Coordinate Independent Deterrents

英國國防部表示，此次演習是兩國於2025年7月簽署《諾斯伍德宣言》（Northwood Declaration）後，深化核武領域合作的具體措施。該宣言為英法協調各自獨立的核武資產與戰略提供架構，旨在加強雙邊合作及對歐洲安全的共同承諾。

The UK Ministry of Defence said the exercise was a practical step toward deeper nuclear cooperation following the signing of the Northwood Declaration in July 2025. The declaration provides a framework for the two countries to coordinate their independent nuclear assets and strategies, strengthening bilateral cooperation and their shared commitment to European security.

英方強調，演習並未實際使用核武，而是著重驗證聯合作戰流程與協同能力。透過協調彼此獨立的核嚇阻力量，英法希望強化整體嚇阻態勢，並為北約及歐洲區域安全提供支援。

The UK emphasized that no nuclear weapons were used during the exercise, which focused instead on validating joint procedures and interoperability. By coordinating their independent deterrent forces, the two countries aim to strengthen their overall deterrence posture and support NATO and European security.

英國投入核嚇阻建設　F-35A將銜接北約核武共享任務

UK Invests in Nuclear Deterrence as F-35As Prepare for NATO Nuclear Sharing

英國國防部指出，「RUMMY」也與英國強化核嚇阻能力的整體規劃相呼應。英方先前提出在未來四年投入630億英鎊、約新臺幣2.74兆元的資金，以推進相關國防與核嚇阻建設。

The UK Ministry of Defence said RUMMY also aligns with Britain’s broader plans to strengthen its nuclear deterrent. The government has previously outlined £63 billion in funding over the next four years for related defense and nuclear deterrence initiatives.

由於英國目前沒有空基核武及相應的空射核武投射能力，英方已宣布採購12架F-35A戰機，規劃未來參與北約「核武共享」任務。此項布局將為英國空軍增加新的任務選項，並可能為未來與法國進一步演練有人戰機護航、空中加油及核任務協同創造條件。

As the UK currently lacks an air-launched nuclear weapon capability and a corresponding nuclear delivery platform, it has announced plans to acquire 12 F-35A fighters for potential participation in NATO’s nuclear-sharing mission. The acquisition would give the Royal Air Force additional operational options and could create opportunities for further cooperation with France in fighter escort, aerial refueling and nuclear mission coordination.

隨著英法持續推進聯演、核政策協調及新型戰機建置，「RUMMY」反映兩國正透過實際演訓提升聯合作戰互通性。不過，英法仍維持各自獨立的核武決策與核嚇阻力量，雙邊合作的重點在於協調與互補，而非建立單一共同核武指揮體系。

As the UK and France continue joint exercises, nuclear policy coordination and next-generation fighter development, RUMMY demonstrates their efforts to improve interoperability through practical training. Both countries nevertheless retain independent nuclear decision-making and deterrent forces, with bilateral cooperation focused on coordination and complementarity rather than a single shared nuclear command structure.
