"We can confirm that it was a French aircraft and now we have to investigate the details of this," Jesper Tengroth a press officer for the Swedish military told The Local on Monday.
His comments followed earlier allegations in Sweden's Expressen newspaper that a Russian plane was "a couple of kilometres on the wrong side of the border" but "quickly turned eastward" when a Swedish Jas Gripen plane approached.
