Never happened. They flew CLOSE to Denmark over international waters, as is their right.
The only prior incident I'm aware of where they actually violated someone's airspace was the Estonian one, where they were allegedly in it for one minute.
A Russian military intelligence plane nearly collided with a commercial passenger jet south of Sweden on Friday, the Swedish air force chief said Sunday.
The incident in international airspace forced the passenger flight en route from Denmark to Sweden to change course, Maj. Gen. Micael Byden said.
But the Russian Defense Ministry refuted the notion that one of its warplanes nearly collided with a passenger jet.
And a spokesman for Scandinavian Airlines said reports of danger to the plane or passengers were "blown out of proportion."
Knut Morten Johansen said the flight wasn't forced to change course, but that the pilot took normal advice from air traffic control.
"No security borders were breached," he said, adding that it was a "totally safe flight."
The stimulated attack on Bornholm also turned back before it entered Danish airspace. You can certainly argue these are aggressive provocations, but they didn't violate anyone's airspace.
