protecting a/ways from military?

Folks a very basic question but i'd love to know. With the increase in Russian Airforce presence snooping around how do you protect your airways from incursions?. I was reading two GR 4s were scrabbled from Scotland on a intercept. Do these bears just turn up with no warning, (naturally no flight plan) and its all hands on deck with you guys vectoring etc. Or do they purposely stay away from civil airspace?
