RAF jets scrambled to Russian military aircraft off Scotland

Fighter jets were scrambled from an RAF station in Scotland after Russian military aircraft flew close to UK airspace.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Typhoon jets involved were from RAF Lossiemouth in Moray.

The Typhoons later returned from over the North Sea to Lossiemouth.

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said: "Our brave RAF pilots have shown again that we are ready to respond to any threat to the UK."

He added: "Alongside our NATO allies, we must remain vigilant and aware of Russian military activity."
