Russia simulated attack of FRA, Stockholm with Backfires

Post by hammarö »

The Swedish Air Force made official today the mission of the Russian simulated attack the 22 April 2013 (also on this side). The mission was to attack FRA, Lovön, Stockholm. Lovön is an island in Stockholm. The Swedish FRA is the same as the US NSA.

Snowdon has newly informed the close connections between FRA and NSA. The FRA tap the Russian tele lines of the highest priority political connextions. The Russian energy companies are involved in the packet. The subsea cables are also tapped. All materials are send to the NSA. NSA and SRA are class 1 partners together with the UK (GHSQ). (the same sources Aftonbladet, Expressen and SVD).

And Sweden did not send a QRA fighter JAS 39 Gripen (they work only 8 to 5?). NATO planes took over QRA from Baltic, and followed the Russian planes (danes).

On the same little island is the king of of Sweden living on his castle Drottningholm (it looks like a tale), one kilometre from FRA.

The Russian packet (six planes according sources) consisted of Tu-22M3 Backfire (2), Su-27 Flanker(3) and A-50M Mainstay.
Russian new A-50M Mainstay – performed jamming of Swedish radar. (www.signalspaning.se/). In the files is a replay of the sound wave (Ljudfil ). Red 41. On the files is also replay of several of the Tu-22M3 and Su-27.
The bases of the planes can be Petrozavodsk air base (Su-27) or Lipetsk air base, Ivanovo air base (A-50M) and Shaykovka air base (Tu-22M3).

Map of the operation area.

www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article16643927.ab

Text translated:
1. Två russian Tu-22M3 supported by four Su-27. Jamming by a further A-50M.

2. Instead of usual flight in the middle of Baltic heading Kaliningrad the planes turn against island Sandön.

3. kl 02.00 on island Sandön start the operation. The russian bombers head Stockholm and southern Sweden (operations centre).

4. The close swedish air force bases is F7 Såtenäs and F17 Ronneby, but no Gripen fighters are ready.

5. NATO start two QRA from Siaullai in Latvia and shadows the Russians.

6. The Russian planes returns the same way.

What I find worrying is that no Gripen's were scrambled. Doesn't the Swedish airforce maintain a QRA?

Sweden have 8-17 QRA, around 9 hours a day. No saturday or sunday. Officially Försvarsmakten say nothing on question.

I am shure it change back. Or made something together with the other northern countries Finland, Norway and Denmark, or even a solution with NATO.

It could be a secret solution today.
