wrote Yakovenko on his Twitter. The British Defense Ministry reported that the 19 of November sent "Eurofighter Typhoon fighters to escort Russian strategic bombers Tu-160 flying in the area of British interest in international airspace over the Atlantic."
It is noted that the fighters "remained close to the Russian aircraft until they left this zone."
