Russian Bear H Aircraft
A Russian Bear H aircraft photographed from an intercepting RAF Typhoon Quick Reaction Alert aircraft(QRA).
On Wednesday 29 Oct 2014 Royal Air Force Aerospace Battle Managers at RAF Control and Reporting Centre (CRC) Boulmer, alerted and scrambled RAF Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) Typhoon fighter aircraft from RAF Lossiemouth to intercept Russian military Bear aircraft who were flying in international airspace.
The RAF Typhoon pilots visually identified the Russian aircraft and escorted them through the UK flight information region. Air to air refuelling (aR) support was provided by an RAF Voyager aircraft from RAF Brize Norton
The primary role of the Royal Air Force is to defend the UK, 365, 24/7; the RAF continually remains alert and ready to intercept any unidentified military or civilian aircraft around UK airspace.
Recent events have increased awareness of Russian military activity, however, the RAF have routinely intercepted, identified and escorted Russian air assets that transit international airspace within the UKs area of interest. Russian military flights have never entered UK sovereign airspace without authorisation.
The primary role of the RAF is to control the air over the UK and, when necessary, UK interests overseas. Our impressive multi-role Typhoon fighter squadrons are based at RAF Coningsby, RAF Lossiemouth and in the Falkland Islands.
Today and every day, just as during the Battle of Britain, they maintain the highest level of readiness. At home, under the direction of our controllers at RAF Boulmer (Northumberland) and Scampton (Lincolnshire) our fighters can be scrambled to intercept, identify and, if required, intervene unidentified aircraft approaching our shores. This is a routine part of the RAFs air defence role to protect UK airspace.
QRA are launched to intercept unidentified aircraft because the aircraft cannot be identified by any other means. i.e. the aircraft is not talking to civilian or military Air Traffic Con
The British Army protects the United Kingdom's interests at home and abroad, providing a safe and secure environment in which all British citizens can live and prosper
