Russian Su-27 scared off Swedish spy plane that appeared near Russian borders

A military reconnaissance aircraft of the Swedish Air Force, conducting a reconnaissance operation near the Russian borders, flew almost close to the airspace of the Russian Federation, in this connection, the Russian Aerospace Forces urgently raised a Su-27 fighter into the sky, after which the Swedes frankly regretted the provocation they themselves had created. Moreover, an American military reconnaissance aircraft was also found in the same area, which also had to change course.

“On September 27, Russian airspace control devices over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea detected two air targets approaching the state border of the Russian Federation. To identify air targets and prevent violation of the state border of the Russian Federation, a Su-XNUMX fighter was taken into the air from the air defense forces of the Baltic Fleet ", - reported in the National Center for Defense Management of the Russian Federation.

It is reported that the Russian fighter, through sufficiently powerful pressure, managed to force the aircraft of the Swedish Air Force and the US Air Force to change course and move away from the Russian borders, and if earlier the fighters of the Russian Aerospace Forces rose into the sky solely for identification, then, apparently, now Russia has begun act more harshly and decisively, suppressing any threats to violate the state border and created dangerous provocations.
