The video explores the installation of real fighter jets, Harrier and Jaguar, at Tate Britain.

The installation, part of the Davines Commission, has been in the works for two years and is now open to the public, sparking controversy. The Tate clarifies that the exhibit is not a political statement but an exploration of media images. The display will be available until January 3rd.
