A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense 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 airplane violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish defense ministry said in a statement, including that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's completely unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the final safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be revered.”
