Three Swiss Air Force F/A 18 jets 'escort' the State plane out of their airspace

ONE of Vladimir Putin’s official Presidential planes was chased through Swiss skies by fighter jets sparking more tension between Russia and the rest of Europe.

A shocked passenger on board the state plane, carrying a delegation of officials and journalists, took pictures showing the Swiss Air Force F/A 18 jets fighters flying by their side.

Andrey Kolesnikov, editor-in-chief of the magazine Russian Pioneer, wrote on Facebook: “We’re flying above Switzerland.

“At some point, the plane with the delegation and the journalists is being blocked from three sides by three fighter jets.”

Kolesnikov said the aircraft were so near he could see the faces of the Swiss pilots.

As fears mounted the Peru-bound plane would be forced to make an emergency landing, the Swiss jets pulled away as they reached the border.

A growing military presence in Eastern Europe, its alliance with Syria’s President Bashar Al-Assad and boasts about nuclear capabilities has put much of the continent on high-alert over Russia.

Moscow has now sought an explanation from the Swiss government over the mid-air incident involving the government airliner en route to the APEC summit.

"(We) have expressed surprise and asked for explanations from Switzerland over the incident with the Russian government plane in the sky of the Confederation," Russia's embassy in Switzerland wrote.
