“the Russian department of defense, in turn, claimed, Thursday, that a Swedish spaningsflyg, with the transponder turned off, would have flown in international airspace over the Baltic sea in the direction of the Russian border, but that it was averted by Russian fighter jets. It was not where and when it would have been.”
” I can only conclude that we have violated someone else’s territory, but we’ve flown in international airspace. There is no reason to express any criticism against Sweden, said defense minister Peter Hultqvist (S) TT on Thursday about the alleged incident.”
