Was Sweden almost under attack? A group of Russian aircraft, including two strategic bombers, which can carry nuclear weapons, practiced night attacks on the Baltic coast to the most important objects in the Swedish defense. Why it did not cause any reaction of Sweden? It was Holy Saturday. The pilots had a day off, there was no aircraft ready to take off, saying the military. NATO has sent only two Danish F-16 in order to observed the practice and marked their presence. Swedes should always have a prepared combat aircraft in the event of similar incidents. However, Major-General Anders Silwer of command of the armed forces admitted that in Sweden there is no constantly prepared air units.

No Swedish QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) was taken at this time.

It was brought to my attention that this incident occurred on the night of Mar. 29, 2013, when Russian military aircraft simulated a large-scale bomb run on Sweden. The episode got much media attention among the Swedish media outlets on Apr. 22, when more details about the simulated attack surfaced. According to the Svenska Dagbladet, after midnight on Mar. 29 (Good Friday), the Swedish radars detected six fast planes coming from the east, originating from the St. Petersburg area and over flying the Gulf of Finland. The route the aircraft were flying was far from being suspect: Russian bombers periodically fly across the Baltic Sea to reach the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, located between Lithuania and Poland. However, on Mar. 29, the two Tu-22M3 Backfire heavy bombers, capable to carry cruise missiles and nuclear weapons, and their four Su-27 Flanker fighter jets escort got dangerously close to the Swedish airspace and, at 2 AM local time, they skirted Gotland island, some 30-40 kilometers off the Swedish territorial waters.After they carried out their mock attacks (on targets in the Stockholm area and Southern Sweden, according to Swedish military sources who talked to Svenska Dagbladet) they turned back and returned towards Russia.
