The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has released a series of spectacular photographs captured by armed forces photographers in 2021.
The images show the UK armed forces on deployment around the world, from cold weather training in the Arctic Circle to counter-terrorism operations over the mountains of Mali.
From the dust and dirt of a war zone to the gleaming uniforms of a parade, military photographers capture the images that show the reality of life for UK servicemen and women.
