  1. Seems like a bit of an over reaction - but on the other hand nothing wrong with training troops in say deployment etc.

  2.  @mrpotato4070  They can drive drones over Sweden? I guess you mean fly. Problem is that any such activity would be illegal and widely reported. So fake news. They may have flown drones / aircraft next to Sweden, which is totally legal. For example, US has at least 2 spy planes next to Russia every day flying next to country borders.

  3.  @juanmanuelc6644  It certainly would be reported through, no? LOL. It would be all over the news! But nope. Nothing. LOL!

  4.  @lG-gz9rl  Exposed? LOL. I don't even speak Russian (well, at least not well). I never been to Russia, but hope to visit one day, especially trans Siberian travel.

  5.  @jolez_4869  They cross into Air ID zone. Not over sovereign airspace.

  6.  @cheeseguy1327  So you are telling me that military drones managed to fly from Russia, towards Sweden, home of the Grippen fighter, fly over some protected area and then return to Russia unharassed? If yes, then maybe you should start learning Russian, you deserve it. On more serious note, these almost certainly were civilian drones. Like 99.99%. I know Sweden has enough tech to detect basic drone flying over it and either intercept it or shot it down. This is not Afghanistan, its somewhat well developed country. Also at such range military drones are not small, they are the size of a small aircraft, we would have pictures of such drones, if they flown low enough to be heard.

  7.  @cheeseguy1327  Somehow no one knows about that! You do know Baltics have air policing and any incursion would get reported. I think you are confused about AIZ vs. air space.

  8.  @cheeseguy1327  You have a single link from reliable source, like BBC, stating these were Russian drones or at least military drones? Any statement from the military? If they were indeed military drones why Swedish air force did not intercept them??? You are the one that reads BS fake news and does not use his own brain.

  9.  @NavidIsANoob  Obviously you cannot use your brain. I do know Sweden has modern air force. Modern systems. I also know no one ID these drones as military drones or Russian drones. Why would the military do nothing? Think about it for a second. Just use your brain. Turn it on.
