The plane took off from the Swedish Air Force base in Linkoping at about 9:00 a.m. Moscow time, entered Finnish airspace and began circling along the Russian border near the Republic of Karelia and the Murmansk Region.

In recent years, the Russian Federation has noted the unprecedented activity of NATO near the western borders. The alliance is expanding its initiatives and calls it "deterring Russian aggression." The Russian authorities have repeatedly expressed concern about the buildup of the bloc's forces in Europe.
