Yesterday, June 14, the Russian military aircraft Su-24 violated the airspace of Sweden in the east of Gotland. It happened after Ukraine has concluded a security agreement with Sweden at the end of May. The aircraft did not respond to the Swedish Military Aviation Service Radio aircraft, forcing Swedish fighters to take it.
Jonas Wikman, commander of the Swedish Air Force, said: "We have followed the events and took the necessary measures in time. Such actions of Russia are unacceptable and indicate a lack of respect for our territorial integrity."
This incident has become the second incident in the last few years, when Russian aircraft have disrupted Sweden's airspace. The first case occurred in 2022, when two Su-27 and two Su-24s were also illegally defeated into the Swedish airspace near the Gotland Island.
