A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian nation ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller plane violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish protection ministry mentioned in an announcement, including that its teams had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry stated the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed towards Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should at all times be revered.”
