Swedish fighter jets were scrambled after a Russian bomber entered NATO airspace hours before world leaders gathered for a historic peace conference over Ukraine.

According to the report, a Russian SU-24 aircraft encroached into Swedish airspace over its strategic Baltic island, Gotland, on Friday, three months after the country became a Nato member.

Further, the Swedish Air Force first warned the Russian pilot over the radio, but the bomber did not deviate from its course, then two JAS-39 Gripen fighters were scrambled, which forced it to turn around, the Swedish Air Force said.

According to the report, the encounter was condemned by the Swedish leaders saying that this could lead to a sudden escalation between Russia and NATO.

It's not only happening in the movie an attack like that but in real. What will happen to the sudden attack of the Russian bomber? War may escalate soon, God forbid.

It's not good on the part of Russia . It may convert in to a war. I think Putin has some other plans.

Yes, what might just be war. They need to be reasonable about the decisions they want to adopt.

The sudden attack or the Russian bomber may cause something hard to imagine. Let's pray NATO remains diplomatic, but it was a crime. It's an attempted bombing NATO.

That might probably be their goal, they are eager to start a war the way I see it.

Violence loving people would always want to start a war even if it is not warranted. I hope they sometimes consider pesce

That bomber was Russian commissioned by Putin to disrupt the summit for peace and alliance for Ukraine. The war may soon escalate hoping not.
