Sweden in 2013 [View all]

This is a link to a short article about what Sweden went through. This happened in 2013. I looked this up because of the report that four Russian jets had entered their airspace east of Gotland Island very recently, like in the last 10 days. Sweden is not in NATO. Also, Germany sent protective forces to the Baltic Sea. So, I am just watching. If I were them, I'd NATO up in a hurry. The threat is there.

If you read it, you will notice the similarities to how Russia is operating even today. The size and type of aircraft he used then most likely will be used in this war. He has activated his air force with bombers that Ukraine can't reach. That tanker he sent over Sweden (or around Sweden) needs to be watched for (pardon my grammar).
