When I used to watch these intercept vids on TV I used to worry that the RAF didn't have enough aircraft to man a high quality QRA fleet and that if the Russians sent over something like 20 bears in 10 flights of 2 we would be scuppered.
Luckily David Cameron was on the TV news tonight, and he assured us that these probing flights just go to prove that the RAF have the pilots and aircraft to deal with the Russians and it's no big deal
