War, intercepted Russian bombers. Tension in the skies of Scotland

War shivers in the skies of Scotland. The effects of the war in Ukraine, in fact, are also felt in the heart of northern Europe. RAF military jets, the British Air Force, in fact, intercepted two Russian bombers on a long-range maritime patrol north of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. The information was released by the British Ministry of Defence. The planes are “ready to combat any potential threat to UK mainland”, Armed Forces Minister James Heappey said.

Russian Tu-142 Bear-F and Tu-142 Bear-J, used for reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare and designated «Bear F» by NATO, were intercepted.
