The RC-135W Rivet Joint, also known as Airseeker, is a surveillance aircraft used to absorb electronic emissions and intelligence from radar and other communication systems, hitting heights of up to 39,000ft.

On 20 October, the Defence Secretary revealed a Russian fighter jet "released a missile" in the vicinity of a Rivet Joint aircraft over the Black Sea. Ben Wallace said Russia stated it was a "technical malfunction" that led to the missile being released.
