UNITED KINGDOM: RAF Typhoons Intercepting Russian Aircraft

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has released footage which it says shows RAF Typhoons intercepting 10 Russian aircraft.

The Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia do not have enough aircraft to police their own skies so Nato members take turns.

The Typhoon aircraft took off from Amari, Estonia, after aircraft were detected by Nato. The Russian aircraft were "monitored by the RAF Typhoons and escorted on their way", according to the MoD.
