A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officials stated on Saturday, because the Scandinavian country 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 stated in a press release, including that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry said the plane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public tv SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the overall security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty must at all times be revered.”
