The air force also scrambled an Airbus Voyager KC3 tanker from Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. The tanker was tracked heading north before going into a holding pattern off the Aberdeenshire coast.
It was not the first time that Britain scrambled its jets to intercept Russian planes which usually pass near UK airspace.
Back in February, British aircraft were sent to monitor two Russian bombers near the UK’s airspace.
The Royal Air Force said at the time that the Tupolev TU-160 Blackjacks were in the UK’s “area of interest” but did not enter British territory.
NATO has increased the intercept of Russian aircraft in recent years due to heightened tensions between the Kremlin and the West over the Ukrainian crisis.
