A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers mentioned 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 evening,” the Swedish defense ministry mentioned in a statement, adding that its groups had followed the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island within the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It is totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the final safety situation very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should all the time be respected.”
