A large Russian cargo plane took a lengthy, unexpected, and unexplained route over central and southern Finland on Saturday night, passing over Finland’s Air Force headquarters and a military intelligence unit.

Having Russia for a neighbor has got to be the worst.
😐
Is nothing to see.
Is normal Russian flight plan.
Go back to work.
Doing shit like this is only gonna push Finland and Sweden closer to NATO, surely Russia can’t win a war against all of Europe and the US?
Russia: our plane was stationary and Findland moved under us. We will not tolerate these aggressive actions.
Map is wrong. Is no Finland. Just West Russia.
Pilot had the map upside down
“That’s a good idea, Sasha. We can update the ground images and the elint and put the fear in them at the same time. Saves time and jet fuel. Yeah, I forgive you for the drone thing…”
Little Vlad must be feeling extra short today.
Tables turned, Russia would have shot that mf down

SIGINT flight.
Or, being Russia, a “you and what army?” gesture.
Probably tracking the radar signatures and locations of stations
Russia has been fucking with finno-Scandian countries for years with submarines.
Finland dropped depth charges at them cuz the Finns do not fuck around.
Sweden used the radio to tell them to fuck off.
Putin and his russia are a threat to everyone
there have been suspicious drones spotted in sweden around a nuclear plant and another location over the past few days.
The Russians are playing the intimidation game which i think will backfire spectacularly.
>[Finland’s] Air Force confirmed that a Russian cargo plane flew over Finland on Saturday evening in accordance with an *approved* flight plan.
Okay… Moving on with my day.
It was trying to deliver a message to Finland. “Join NATO, now!”
Guys, I’m beginning to suspect Russia might be up to something…
Why is YLE considered a questionable source?
Feels like Russia has been pushy towards Finland before. Can’t put my finger on it though.
Russia is like the neighborhood bully that rides by your house everyday yelling out “pussy”
How is Yle, essentially the Finnish BBC, a “questionable source”?
YLE.fi is a questionable source now?

Putin at work, yet again. His first thought is, “What the fuck are they going to do about it? Absolutely nothing, that what!” Putin does whatever the fuck he wants. Period. It was a slap in the face to Finland and NATO. Just another dry run in a series of escalations. 😳
How is [yle.fi](https://yle.fi) a questionable source, wtf? Literally the national news agency in Finland.
Hey so, sincere question, why isn’t the EU sanctioning Russia in a meaningful way for horseshit like this?
Obviously no one wants to escalate things into a proper war, but this level of passivity as Russia builds up forces on the Ukranian border after having annexed the Crimean Peninsula not even a decade earlier brings to mind Nazi Appeasement.
I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you.
