Sweden’s defense minister has condemned Russian aircraft for violating the country’s airspace.
“The Russian violation of Swedish airspace is of course completely unacceptable,” Defense Minister Peter Hultqvist told news agency TT, according to Reuters.
“It will lead to a firm diplomatic response from Sweden. Swedish sovereignty and territory must always be respected,” he added.
Swedish JAS 39 Gripen jets were deployed after two Russian SU27 and two SU24 fighter jets entered the country’s airspace.

This is just trying to rattle nerves. If this were an actual hostile engagement, the Russians would be toast within minutes. https://t.co/TnfXgh6mB8
