RAF scrambles to intercept Russian fighter over Black Sea

Royal Air Force Typhoons have intercepted a Russian fighter jet over the Black Sea.

The Russian SU-24 Fencer aircraft was shadowed by the RAF's Quick Reaction Alert force as it flew through international airspace.

121 Expeditionary Air Wing has been flying Typhoon jets in the region around Romania for the last four months as part of Operation Biloxi.

It is the name of the RAF's contribution to NATO's air policing mission.
