A Russian reconnaissance plane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish defense officers stated on Saturday, as the Scandinavian country ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday night,” the Swedish defense ministry mentioned 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 in the Baltic, earlier than it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This motion is unprofessional and given the final security state of affairs very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be respected.”
