Summary

Headline: Russian military bombers mass over Baltic Sea, prompt response from Sweden and Denmark

Short Summary: A significant deployment of Russian strategic bombers and combat aircraft occurred over the Baltic Sea on March 9, 2024, leading to monitoring and responses from Swedish and Danish forces.

Description

On March 9th, 2024, an unusually large number of Russian military aircraft, including strategic bombers, were observed flying in the Baltic Sea region, particularly near Swedish and Danish airspace. The patterns suggest deliberate signaling or probing of NATO/Nordic response measures.

Evidence

Quotes

In the early hours of March 9th, 2024, a total of 9 Russian military aircraft, incl. Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers, as well as Su-35 fighter jets, entered the Baltic Sea region from mainland Russia.

The scale and type of aircraft involved is highly unusual.

Several Twitter OSINT accounts were tracking this sortie.

SweAF (Swedish Air Force) appear to be up in force, orbiting near Gotland.

The entire Baltic Sea region must have been on the highest possible readiness.

At around 10:00 CET, the Russian bombers turned around and headed back east.
