RAF Typhoons scrambled to intercept Russian spy plane and fighter jet

RAF Typhoons and Swedish Air Force Gripens were scrambled to intercept a Russian air force spy plane, being escorted by a Sukhoi Su-27 fighter aircraft flying close to Nato and Swedish airspace.
Fighter jets from RAF Lossiemouth's 140 Expeditionary Air Wing (EAW) are currently deployed on Nato's Baltic Air Policing mission in Estonia and made the intercept last night.
Russia's Ilyushin Il-20 Coot-A intelligence-gathering planes are capable of analysing military communications and signals to assist attacking aircraft or ground forces.

[@ladsrus3554]

With the Russian air force’s current attrition rate in Ukraine I fully expect these typhoons to be intercepting biplanes in a couple of years 😂

[@HendrikPlukaard]

What attrition rate are you talking about? Perhaps giving the source that you base your statement on would help.

You forgot to info; NATO flies SPY PLANE .. and the intel. gathered was passed to Ukraine which results in death of Russian soldiers..

[@richardmason4252]

It's unacceptable when they crash into our aircraft or attempt to fire a missile at them.
Russian aircrew are ill disciplined clowns.
NATO pilots are professionals who follow RoE to the letter.
