The joint operation displayed the British Army’s ability to haul heavy precision-fire systems at speed with the systems being flown into Sweden before being deployed in its neighbouring ally.
The aforementioned AH-64E Apache helicopters provided air cover for the MLRS as part of the exercise.
The AH-64E attack helicopter is designed to source and destroy enemy tanks, armoured vehicles and air defence units in all weather conditions.
The British Army purchased 50 of the US-made crafts for an estimated cost of £1.8billion.
A British Army update confirmed that “this is the first time UK rocket systems and Apaches have operated together in Europe,” during the multinational drills.
The statement added: “Joint exercises like Northern Strike 25 demonstrate the UK’s commitment to NATO, new NATO members and our international partners.
“They ensure that the UK and its allies can integrate and operate in combat situations.”
