News from the Swedish press is anything but trivial about the alleged “accident” that happened on March 2nd Four Russian planes flew through the airspace of Sweden near Gotland. Two of those planes would have been equipped with nuclear weapons: The leak comes from Swedish television, which has thoroughly investigated the matter, going so far as to argue that Russia’s violation of airspace was a premeditated act.
No coincidence, according to the Swedes, the Russians wanted to intimidate their country with the nuclear threat. The war in Ukraine It erupted a few days ago when an unusual formation took off from the Russian air base in Kaliningrad on March 2nd. It consisted of four aircraft: two Sukhoi 24 attack aircraft and two Sukhoi 27 fighter jets. The first two were said to be armed with nuclear weapons: the Swedish armed forces declined to comment, but neither confirmed nor denied it.
The Chief of the Air Force Carl Johan Edstrom he limited himself to the statement that the violation was probably intentional: “We appreciate it as a conscious action. Which is very serious, especially because it was done by a country at war. We analyzed the accident and it is clear that it cannot be ruled out that it was a matter of incorrect navigation, but everything indicates that it was a deliberate act. The violation of Swedish airspace lasted about a minute and would have posed a threat to Sweden.
