According to British officials, RAF Typhoons were sent up to warn Russian reconnaissance aircraft away from the UK's airspace, after they approached northern Scotland.
Denmark and the Netherlands also scrambled fighters, during the incident.
They sent up their fighters to ensure that the Russians didn't turn their way and cross over their countries.
This comes while several Russian naval ships have been sailing within a mile of British waters.
Those ships are being shadowed by Royal Navy forces.
