A Russian cargo plane flew over Finland. He flew from Moscow to Murmansk, but in the White Sea he changed direction to the German city of Leipzig, according to Yle.
According to the Flightradar24M online service, in Finland the flight route ran from Suomussalmi to Turku, and the Jyväskylä military unit in Tikkakoski, where the Air Force headquarters and the Defense Intelligence Agency are located, as well as the Hall military airport in Jämsä, were located near the route. The liner flew at a normal cruising altitude, which averaged 8.5 km.
The media, citing experts, notes that the unusual choice of route may be associated with verification or reconnaissance. “It was either a show of force or a reconnaissance mission. It is assumed that the flight is associated with a tense situation in Europe, ”said military experts quoted by the media. They believe that in this way the Russians “tested the reaction of the Finnish authorities to the situation when they requested a route along which strategic objects are located.” “Russia wanted to do such a trick that we, as they say, would make our hair stand on end,” the experts noted.
In their opinion, Russia may be interested in both the situation of the Finnish air bases and the exercises of the ground forces.
According to the portal, we are talking about a Boeing 747-8HVF cargo aircraft, which belongs to AirBridgeCargo, which is based in Moscow.
