WASHINGTON - The Pentagon announced that it is postponing a nuclear missile test launch scheduled for this week to avoid any possible misunderstanding in light of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent decision to put his nuclear forces on higher alert. “We have total control of the situation.” We were in place to secure the territorial integrity and Swedish borders,” Edstrom said. Swedish fighter jets were scrambled and took photos of the Russian jets, the statement said. “This is unprofessional and irresponsible behavior from the Russian side.” “In light of the current situation we are very concerned about the incident,” Swedish Air Force chief Carl-Johan Edstrom said. The four aircraft - two SU-27 and two SU-24 fighters - flew briefly over Swedish airspace east of the island of Gotland, according to a statement from the Swedish Armed Forces. GOTLAND, Sweden - Sweden says four Russian fighter jets violated its airspace over the Baltic Sea on Wednesday.
