Two of the Royal Air Force’s most advanced surveillance planes have completed a 12-hour mission patrolling the Russian border.

A pair of spy planes flew nearly 10,000 miles along the Russian border past Belarus and Ukraine on Thursday, along NATO’s eastern flank, to “boost operational awareness” in the area.
