“They’re a bit of a danger if they’re not escorted…we can never trust what the Russians’ intent is.”
Former Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell explains how British jets are on constant alert to stop Russian aircraft that could stray into NATO airspace.

Go mother russsia. The world can not stomach western evil no more
Shot them down if they enter in your air space.
This happens a lot, its not news, mostly Russian aircraft are in international airspace, and yet, the anti British media make it sound like we're going to be attacked 😂
They are making the most of it before they hire based purely on diversity and then no jets will fly again.
The customary reassurance that there was no real threat from these bombers because they would have to come much closer to the UK than they did for there to be any danger, is either disingenuous or uttered without ANY thought at all! During last year's attempt to bomb Kyiv into submission, or into rubble, many of the cruise missiles involved were launched, over the Caspian Sea by the same basic type of aircraft as those intercepted yesterday, and the RAF wouldn't have been sure of the difference until they were intercepted and their pilots could see the aerials and other differences in mission equipment. That being the case, similar Russian bombers are almost certainly capable of destroying prominent UK economic targets, such as the Forth Road Bridges or even the Humber or Orwell Bridges, from a safe launch point over the Baltic Sea if not the Barents Sea. It would be nice if just one of these "experts" would credit the public to know when the difference between the harsh truth and pseudo patriotic waffle. There is no patriotism in complacency.
Russian military aircraft approaching UK airspace is not news, it's been happening for a long time! Seriously all you're doing is fear mongering!
not over Scotland there over the North sea ,
Uk pilots ..USA ..France..Canada.. and some other countrys from Europe ,all these countrys have very experienced pilots with a very good know how on air defense and atack!!!! USA pilots in my opinion are some of the best in the world!!! They have a very good training and they do alot combat scenarios!!!! But a fighter jet on it s ownn is not going to win wars…. and it s the all branches working together that make the diference !!! Let s hope those Ukrainian pilots have good teatchers…we all want to see f16 defending Ukrainian territory and all Ukrainian people!!! 🇵🇹🇺🇦💙💛🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺💪🏼🇬🇧🇺🇲
They all do it to each other nothing new, 😮 what is he saying Russia doesn't have any aircraft that's as good as NATO and American.
Joint West-East exercises.
Go on 🇬🇧 don't take any putins pish put him right in his place 💥💥💥💥💥
Kin ell, this happens every other day. For decades now, and we do it to them. The thing I am most surprised about is that we have two planes to scramble.
Scotland wants them there. They are protecting Scottish airspace from the British.
Kenneth More and his trusty Spitfire would have put the bejeebies up them. Cheerio
I almost fell asleep listening to this.
They can hear the 'bears' take off.
What would happen to RAF Typhoons if they were in Russian air space?
🎉
Happened all the time I was in RAF,I was a weapons tech 1983 till 1999.
I have a great idea!, we should fly around the Russians border also😶
This happend about 7year ago aswell.
Putins flying cruise
Very glad they did
Should of shot them out the sky no warning
They will fly case you are against Russia
Fake headline , not over Scotland.
Yes it happens a lot,
So why do we only scramble two aircraft at any time 365, 24.
When they routinely test the defences.
And why don’t we have a long range bomber,
too test their defences.
Russia can easily blow the UK into absolute rubble.
Given the Russians just dissed International Maritime waters, perhaps next time we should respond in kind by forcing them to land.
Nothing to see here, nothing to see. Don’t mind those bombers over Scotland. We didn’t like them anyway. Nothing to see!
LET'S GO FIGHT'S
The answer to the question which forms the title of this video is: "Because we always do it". Nothing new here. Only a big fuss, designed to make sure we all think Putin is the 'bogey-man'….
And for how many decades now has this been going on yawn…
Look 👀 anybody can get lost , the Russians prove it !!!!!!
Was it because Russian jets were over Scotland? Is that the reason?
If they were over Scotland why weren't they shot down huh? Yet more gutless appeasement or yet more Brit Nat Media lies or both???????
Been watching these stories since the 1980's. As much nonsense then as the story is now…
They stopped for a highland whisky tour
A few years ago they’d be doing that themselves with paper aeroplanes
Yip. Russia sending a very loud message. Only an idiot would miss this message. ☢️
They weren't "over Scotland", they were in international airspace.
If they were literally over Scotland, they'd have been ordered to land or be shot down…
It stuns me how jet fuel is nearing the zero mark
How Do Conspiracy Theorists Come Up With New Conspiracy Theories?
We come up with all kinds of conspiracy theories primarily because we do not know where we live, why we are alive, where we are headed, and what is good and bad for us.
We are confused. We can think of ourselves like little children who were placed into an open store, and who then play with all kinds of objects in that store, running around and bumping into all sorts of things, but who have no clue as to why they were placed there to begin with, and what the store’s rules are in order for everyone to enjoy themselves optimally.
That is how we are in our world. Therefore, if something significant and extraordinary happens to us here, we start examining the phenomena from several different angles: Who caused it? Who benefits from it? We start looking for who to blame.
Ultimately, we cause our every misfortune, but it is not as all kinds of conspiracy theorists emphasize, that there are certain people acting in a goal-oriented manner. We can think about it similarly to a volcanic eruption, a tsunami or a hurricane: we might have caused such phenomena indirectly, but not on purpose.
No matter how rich or powerful certain people are, they cannot change humanity’s fate. It is because nature is the general collective force and it includes and sustains each particular and individual force within itself. It rules over everyone and everything, and it does not let any one person or group of people move anything even one millimeter in any direction.
If there are any individual forces that wish to break out and take control, nature simply does not let them. Every person is a small part, an individual aspect, of a general system that is governed solely by the force of nature. Therefore, the ultimate conspirator is nature itself, which governs everyone and everything according to its higher plan—”higher” because it is beyond our minds to comprehend.
