where were the Danish and/or Swedish military?

Our military where only watching the event and responded only by informing the civil planes about the invisible danger.

Usually Russian planes without transponders escorted by a Danish F16. However these drones are a new thread. They are simply cheeper so the Russians can use them more often. And they have.

After this event 3 Danish F16 have been stationed in Estonia to ease response and help secure the borders of Baltic countries. And the Swedish parlement have also decided to spend money on something air defense related.
