The information provided by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the interception of the Swedish military aircraft does not correspond to reality.

This morning, the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published the news that a Swedish military reconnaissance aircraft was intercepted in the skies over the Baltic Sea. As evidence, the video was presented, but experts revealed a lot of inconsistencies and caught the Ministry of Defense in mounting the video.

"The crew of the Russian fighter approached a safe distance to the air object, identified it as a reconnaissance aircraft" Gulf Stream "of the Swedish Air Force, which flew without a transponder on", - the Ministry of Defense reported on its official page.

Nevertheless, experts studied data from publicly available resources and found that the reconnaissance aircraft of the Swedish Air Force actually flew near the Russian borders, but the approach to the coast of the Kaliningrad region was at least 80 kilometers. Moreover, the information provided by the “ADS-B Exchange” resource indicates the fact that the military aircraft was flying with the transponder turned on - the signal about the position of the aircraft was transmitted with a difference of several minutes, which indicates another mismatch with the data presented by the Ministry of Defense.

As for the video, the assembly elements are also revealed, in particular, the Su-27 fighter carries out the takeoff, while the Su-24 fighter-bomber comes to land, and in the summer time.
