Finland, Sweden conduct first joint intercept of Russian jets over Gulf of Finland

Finland and Sweden conducted their first joint intercept of Russian aircraft over the Gulf of Finland in September, following a June 12 incident where Sweden scrambled Gripens twice in one day to intercept Russian Su-24 and Su-34 jets near Swedish airspace. This marks a new level of Nordic air-policing cooperation post-NATO accession, signaling increased deterrence posture against Russian military activity in the Baltic region.
