The video captured by William Bird while out with his seven-year-old stepson Alex shows the £126million jets approaching RAF Lossiemouth in Moray , Scotland . The first of the aircraft - which can reach 1,370mph - blasted them with the thrust from its engines , while as the second jet disappeared from view the video camera was knocked sideways . Scroll down for video . Incoming : The video shows two of the £126million jets approaching RAF Lossiemouth in Moray , Scotland . Overhead : As the second jet disappeared from view in the clip , the video camera was knocked sideways . The video was taken on the same day that Typhoons were deployed by the Royal Air Force as two Russian long-range Bear bombers , capable of carrying nuclear missiles , hugged British airspace . Mr Bird , who runs an aerial photography business in Inverurie , Aberdeenshire , captured the video on Tuesday with a Go Pro 4 while on holiday with his family . The 41-year-old said that he was ‘ as close to the action as you could get ’ , having gone to the area after hearing on the news that Nato exercises were taking place in the area . He said : ‘ I went to see what I could capture . I was n't really sure what I would get but it was fantastic watching the video back . ‘ They came in very low and were preparing to land , but they were still under quite a lot of throttle . To see that much thrust is quite astonishing . My stepson is still making jet noises. ’ He added : ‘ It 's the first time I 've seen a Typhoon in flight and the noise was just incredible . Caught on camera : Mr Bird took the video on Tuesday with a Go Pro 4 while on holiday with his family . 'You can hear it approach from far away , but when it 's above you have to fight every instinct not to duck or put your hands over your ears . ‘ Shortly after taking this video we were actually told we should probably move a bit away since the planes were coming in to land. ’ As well as the bombers on Tuesday , a Russian warship strayed close to UK territory in another apparent attempt to test Britain ’ s defences . A destroyer with missiles , anti-aircraft guns and torpedoes entered the English Channel with two other Russian ships . It forced the UK to send a heavily-armed frigate to monitor the vessels . Just a few hours later the Bear bombers hugged UK airspace . Sources claim both incidents may have been an attempt to ‘ snoop ’ on the Nato war games exercise taking place in Scotland . Even though Russian military inspectors were invited to attend the show of strength , the timing raised suspicions that Vladimir Putin was using access to the site to test UK reaction times . It later emerged that the Russians had actually been at the Typhoons ’ base at RAF Lossiemouth when the warplanes were scrambled .
