– The plane looked like ours and it flashed like ours. When I went through our flights, we had one between Visby and Bromma just then, says pilot Daniel Hägg on Swedish ambulance flight to SVT.

– I checked flightradar24 and just at that time we flew over Saltsjöbaden, he continues .

Instead of checking with the Swedish air traffic control or looking at the public information about the route on Flighradar24, Expressen speculated that it could be a “Russian drone” that photographed “protected objects” or mapped “a reserve water source with protected area. and six water reservoirs “located in the area.

” The drone has a wingspan of 3-4 meters, according to Expressen's information “, the evening newspaper wrote.

Expressen has not published any correction.
