The government protested that two Russian aircraft of the type Su-24 Wednesday violated Swedish airspace. Now confirms Foreign Minister Carl Bildt to a violation south of Karlskrona last year also was a Russian Su-24, writes expressen.se.
The violation was published by the Armed Forces in August last year, but none were identified.
Philip Simon, press officer at the Armed Forces, states that such is up to the government.
It must be done in consultation with the Cabinet Office and the Foreign Ministry, says Simon said.
He said that the violation occurred on 14 June of last year. A Su-24, whose movement was followed by the Swedish air force, began to swing before it came in over the Swedish border, but during the turn came the plane into Swedish territory.
Armed Forces still see it as more of an accident.
It was a clumsy pilot. It believes we still – even with what happened last Wednesday in mind, says Simon.
