Nato notes spike in Russian flights

A Russian Bear H aircraft as photographed from an intercepting RAF quick-reaction Typhoon near to UK airspace Nato has reported an "unusual" spike in Russian military flights in European airspace after RAF fighters were scrambled to intercept a pair of Russian long-range bombers over the North Sea. Typhoon jets from RAF Lossiemouth tracked the two giant Tu-95 Bear H bombers through the UK "flight information region" as Nato radars picked up a series of Russian formations engaged in "significant military manoeuvres" ranging from the Black Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.
