RAF Tycoon jets intercepted Russian Planes which have recently strayed into British Airspace.  The interceptors were from the Lossiemouth Scotland base.  A Tuplaov plane “which looked a bit like a Concorde” – from a Russian supply was monitored and Defence Secretary Michael Fallon dismissed  the incident saying  “These are games, in effect.”  Other descriptions of the “invasive” plane(s) has included the term “Blackjack.” – a term for their type and design.
