Listen "RAF Typhoon Jets intercept RUSSIAN BOMBERS outside Scotland | Interview with TOP GUN Fighter Pilot"

Episode Synopsis

RAF Typhoon jets intercepted Russian bombers flying north of Scotland in the early hours of Monday morning, the UK government has said.

Typhoon fighters were scrambled to intercept two Russian long-range maritime patrol bombers as they transited near the Shetland Islands within NATO's northern air policing area, the government added.

I brought on Matthew "Whiz" Buckley to discuss this interception, Russian Bombers and threats, airspaces and rules of engagement, when and if we would shoot down Russian Bombers and more.

“During my 15 years as a Navy fighter pilot, I enjoyed nothing more than pushing the throttles forward to Max Afterburner with the engines of my F/A-18 Hornet, catapulting off an aircraft carrier (0 to 200 mph in 1.5 seconds) and flying in challenging and hostile environments around the world.

These days – as a Philanthropist, CEO, Entrepreneur, Trader, and Executive Leadership Coach – I’m no longer driving my F/A-18, but I get that same feeling of power and exhilaration when I start the engines of an under-performing company, rev up the employees and executive team, and watch them blow away the competition."

01:37 Catch up with Matthew "Whiz" Buckley
01:53 Would you say this is an escalation by Russia as these events seem to be happening more often now? Are they just probing our defences or is this something we should be worried about? These obviously are tactical bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
04:20 So walk me through the rules of engagement in situations like this. When does this become a bigger problem and require stepping up, and how far would they need to push it for us to consider, as you like to elequantly to put it, turn em into hair teeth and eyeballs?
06:47 So if these guys were to stray into our or NATO’s airspace, what happens if our pilots get a missile lock on them as a stage 2 past the interception. I assume that would be the fighter jet way of firing a warning shot?
08:32 What happens if they refuse to leave our airspace but do not lock their weapons onto our fighters? And if our fighters are running out of fuel do we just send more fighters or do we just allow them to do what they like as long as they’re non aggressive? Are there any rules here that are unwritten which we as the general public just don’t understand?
