Reported on SkyNewsHD
and Ch4HDNews Ch4 just played the RAF response who said they will be shot down. Of course now they have found out their communications were down. http://news.sky.com/story/1362888/ra...wn-cargo-plane Last edited by arista; 29-10-2014 at 07:26 PM. |

A plane in your airspace and not responding... the standard international response is going to be to send your air force up to intercept.

So it's okay for us to fly around gathering intelligence but when Russia does the same we shoot them down? I mean, i'd prefer that we didn't have planes flying around in our airspace but surely a double standard should apply.

This was a cargo plane. Their communications failed. The RAF went up to see what was happening and escorted the plane till it landed. Where's the double standard? |

If a UK plane went in to Russian airspace without permission, it would be shot down, be in no doubt about that. |

RAF jets have intercepted and escorted Russian military Bear aircraft, the Ministry of Defence has said.
It comes amid what NATO described as an "unusual" increase in activity from Russian military jets over European airspace. The two Typhoon fighters were scrambled from RAF Lossiemouth to intercept the Russian Bear bombers, escorting them through British airspace on Wednesday. NATO said Russia had not filed flight plans and the bombers were not using on-board transponders, adding that this posed "a potential risk to civilian aviation". It happened on the same day two Typhoons from RAF Coningsby were sent to escort a suspicious plane to Stansted Airport in Essex. http://news.sky.com/story/1363491/ra...litary-bombers
