RUSSIAN jets have breached Swedish airspace as the world holds its breath following Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

According to reports, four fast-jets entered Swedish airspace rather than just entering the Air defence identification zone (ADIZ). DefenceGeek Twitter account tweeted: "Four #Russian fast-jets breached #Swedish Airspace today.
The jets, comprising 2x Su-27 'Flanker' and 2x Su-24 'Fencer' jets, actually entered Swedish airspace according to reports (rather than just entering the ADIZ)." 

Force Commander Johan Edstrom of the Swedish Armed Forces confirmed four Russian fighter aircraft violated Swedish airspace east of Gotland. 

He added: "This shows that our preparedness is good. 

"We were on-site to ensure territorial integrity and Sweden's borders. We have full control of the situation.
Two Russian SU 27s and two Russian SU 24s violated Swedish airspace.
The violation was short-lived and took place east of Gotland, across the sea. 

"In light of the current situation, we take the incident very seriously. 

"It is an unprofessional and irresponsible action on the part of Russia, says the air force chief." 

This violation comes following Putin's invasion of Ukraine but his attempts to capture the former Soviet country have so far been thwarted. 

However, this week an expert warned the Russian President will not stop at Ukraine.
