"Did not react"
Russian bomber violated Sweden’s airspace
According to the Swedish armed forces, a Russian military aircraft briefly violated Swedish airspace on Friday. The bomber entered the airspace east of the Baltic Sea island of Gotland, it said.
According to the Swedish military, the Russian Su-24 fighter aircraft did not react to warnings. Two Swedish fighter jets then intercepted the aircraft. The Sukhoi Su-24 is a two-seater tactical bomber developed in the former Soviet Union.
Finland's airspace also recently violated
It was only on Friday that Finland announced that its border guards suspected that four Russian military aircraft had violated the northern European country's airspace last Monday.
The Finnish Ministry of Defense had initially assumed that only one aircraft had been involved. However, the more the investigation into the incident progresses, the more there are reasons to suspect that three other aircraft also violated the territory, the border guard explained.
It was probably two bombers and two fighter jets. According to the Ministry of Defense, the last time a territorial violation by Russian aircraft was detected was in August 2022. Unlike then, Finland is now a member of NATO.
