Two Russian fighter jets of the type Su-24, should have crossed the Swedish territorial waters south of Öland at noon on Wednesday, according to Expressen.

The plan must have lifted from Kaliningrad, flown at the Polish coast when the east of Bornholm turned north and flew at low altitude against Oland.

The plan must have turned eastwards, leaving Swedish airspace after a Swedish Gripen aircraft marked presence.

Armed Forces would not comment on the incident until an analysis has been made, writes Erik Lagersten, communications director, in a written comment:

"Only when the analysis is finished with a secure observed events, and the exact circumstances understood, making the Armed Forces decision on further management within and outside the Agency."

Swedish territory has been violated several times this year. On 18 July this year, violated an American reconnaissance aircraft Swedish airspace, after the international airspace chased away by Russian aircraft.

On June 20 violated two Polish plane Swedish airspace. According to Carl Bildt was probably by mistake.

Last year there were two confirmed violations. One occurred on the 28th October when five Russian planes, including two bombers conducted attacks exercises against Sweden, Poland and the Baltic states in two hours. Two Swedish Gripen fighters were sent up to mark attendance.

Early on Good Friday 2013 was practicing Russian planes near Sweden. Swedish Gripens stayed on the ground, which was criticized.

Memories of the 80s submarine hunts is so strong that it takes is a new alarm to bring them to life.

Especially when combined with a recent Russian aggression against Sweden and abroad.

So even if the evidence for what it is that Swedish military hunts in the Stockholm archipelago is as yet shrouded in mystery so do not put an end to the speculation.



It's only a month ago that two Russian fighter jets violated airspace south of the Swedish island of Öland. In addition, a number of other incidents in which Russia behaved aggressively clearly occur in international airspace.

Therefore, it is natural to suspect that even Russia is behind the vomit of Swedish territorial waters.

Just as was done in the air, the Russian military will test the Swedish defense preparedness under the waterline. It can also be a way to show that you are back as a military superpower and does not shy away from confrontation.
They simply want to scare Sweden. An indirect "advice" that we'd better not become members of NATO.



Since the armed forces are so extremely secretive about what kind of evidence you have for foreign submarine operations, you can not judge the quality of evidence.
If there are pictures or film the periscope or the like, it may be a witness who saw something and interpreted it incorrectly.

Of course there is also the possibility that it is a NATO submarine. Some evidence suggested that even American submarines violated Swedish waters during the 80th century.

1981 occurred one of the most spectacular violations as Sweden or any other country has ever experienced.
A Russian submarine in Whisky Class with the designation U-137 ran aground in the Karlskrona archipelago.
Large parts of the submarine were above the water, which had the world's press to revel in headlines like "Whisky on the rocks".

The Russians tried to explain away the incident with the captain navigated wrong.



During the same period there was a large number of other violations in the Stockholm archipelago. On several occasions brought the defense depth charges against suspected submarines.
Via hydrophone listening beat experts concluded that it was about Soviet spacecraft. But one spot identification were never going to do.

Sweden protested yet powerful and the Russo-Swedish relations ended up in the freezer.

Violations sat too deep in the Swedish soul. Many people were scared and wondered over the Soviet motives.

This and the fact that Russia reappears much more like the Soviet era is probably behind the defense reacted so hard and fast on the new data. It's obvious that you take them seriously.



But it is still worth pointing out that even in the 80s there were a number of sightings of submarines which in hindsight turned out to be mink and more.

Since the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the Soviet Union has no known violations occurred. Sweden has meanwhile equipped down its coastal defense in line with other cutbacks in defense.



It is obvious that today we live in an old-school reality where a new cold war is underway between Russia and the West. Russia gearing up sharply in all areas.

The Farské NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg was in his comments sure to point to the NATO pledge that an attack on one country is an attack on all.

A thinly disguised warning to Russia of its limits.
