Telegraph: Reports on Russian aircraft close to UK airspace, " RAF Typhoons scrambled to Russian bombers..Quick-reaction fighters were scrambled to investigate two Russian military aircraft north of Scotland ".
Lets Get Real:
Lets hope the Russian military is fully under the control of the Kremlin, one does not want to see some hotshot Russian airman try something while in the air and this can be miss read by a Western fighter, it could lead to serious mistakes and lead to another Cuban Missile Crisis. This is the risk that Putin is taking, the more he pushes the chance of something going wrong either on the ground or in the air, the West will react if A NATO Country comes under threat. One would assume that Obama and Putin have a back channel envoy that they both trust who can tell the other that there are REAL red lines, otherwise a crisis in the Ukraine could get out of hand quite fast, there are native Russians in the Baltic States and Poland.
