Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pictured, an RAF Typhoon moves to intercept a Russian military aircraft heading towards British air space off the coast of north-west Scotland.

Several QRA RAF fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the unidentified Russian aircraft after they tried to enter British airspace.

The unidentified aircraft were later revealed to be Tupolev Tu-95 Bears – Russian aircraft used both as strategic bombers and long-range maritime patrol planes.

Flying in formation, two pairs (from RAF Coningsby and RAF Lossiemuth) approached the aircraft before withdrawing, while the third pair finished the job of forcing them to change course.
