Finske, svenske og NATO-kampfly identificerer en stor russisk militær formation over Den Finske Bugt

Den 24. september 2026 opfangede fly fra NATO's og de nordiske landes Quick Reaction Alert en forholdsvis stor russisk formation, der rejste gennem internationalt luftrum fra Kaliningrad mod det russiske fastland. Litauens forsvarsministerium identificerer formationen som tre MiG-31, en Tu-134, en Su-30SM og tre Su-30M2, altså otte fly i alt. Ingen havde indsendt flyveplan, og alle havde deres transpondere om bord slukket; kun Tu-134 opretholdt radiokommunikation med den regionale flyvekontrol. Finske F/A-18 Hornet og svenske JAS 39 Gripen deltog i identifikationen over Den Finske Bugt, hvilket markerer den første fælles operationelle identifikationsmission for det finske og svenske luftvåben. De svenske væbnede styrker bekræftede uafhængigt, at den russiske formation omfattede et Tu-134-transportfly, MiG-31-jagerfly og Su-30-jagerfly, og at den forblev i internationalt luftrum.

On 24 September 2026, NATO and Nordic Quick Reaction Alert aircraft intercepted a comparatively large Russian formation travelling through international airspace from Kaliningrad toward mainland Russia. Lithuania’s Ministry of National Defence identifies the formation as three MiG-31s, one Tu-134, one Su-30SM and three Su-30M2 aircraft, or eight aircraft in total. None had pre-filed flight plans and all had their onboard transponders switched off; only the Tu-134 maintained radio communication with regional air-traffic control. Finnish F/A-18 Hornets and Swedish JAS 39 Gripens participated in the identification over the Gulf of Finland, marking the first joint operational identification mission by the Finnish and Swedish air forces. The Swedish Armed Forces independently confirmed that the Russian formation included a Tu-134 transport aircraft, MiG-31 fighters and Su-30 fighters and that it remained in international airspace.
