Sweden Air Force noted that the incident happened last week, Daily Mail reports. "Sweden's military -air forces are always in a state of combat readiness," the country's armed forces said after a successful interception, with the assistance of Denmark. Sweden Air Force began operating in the international airspace over the southern Baltic Sea after suspicious reports of planes that fly without plans of flight and with transponders off.
Then the Swedish fighters identified and accompanied the planes Su-30cm and Su-30cm2 from the Baltic Fleet of Russia. Both aircraft were equipped with the "Air-Earth" rockets X-31-a weapon capable of developing speeds of up to 3 strokes, which enables them to break through modern ship's defense and destroy enemy vessels. The rapid reaction of Sweden and Denmark shows how Putin's growing aggression led Europe to a state of increased readiness.
Some military experts warn that NATO should take seriously the recent invasion of drones, otherwise it is at risk of invasion. "It was rapidly woke up-or finally woke up. We made Putin's impression that it was not particularly concerned about us. So, in some sense, it is partially our fault. Now we have demonstrated determination, otherwise he would continue," said Hamish de Bretton-Horida.
This happens against the background of NATO efforts to strengthen the eastern border by strengthening defense after Russia's unprecedented invasion of Poland's airspace on the night of September 10, when more than 20 UAVs flew into the country. And on September 13, Romania accused Moscow of violating its airspace, as Latvia reported a drone disaster in the east of the country.
Meanwhile, Putin tightened further, having conducted military exercises with Belarus in the framework of the West-2025 exercises, which have traditionally been used to check various military strategies before invasion. Concerns also caused participation in other countries in exercises. For example, the US military armies suddenly appeared there.
We will remind, NATO countries have in a hurry to organize the "Eastern Watch" mission to strengthen safety on the eastern flank, which includes the deployment of two F-16 fighters and a frigate from Denmark, three RAFale fighters from France and four Eurofighter fighters from Germany. And Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that the event has been the next distance from the open conflict since the Second World War.
