1952, Swedish military aircraft provoked the Soviet Union, and MIG 15 fighter plane took off decisively and shot it down on the spot.

1952, a Soviet MIG-15 fighter destroyed a transport plane from Sweden, killing all eight crew members on board, and the plane crashed into the seabed together. At the moment, the world caused an uproar, and long guns and short guns rushed to the Soviet Union. At that time, during the Cold War, the Soviet Union was constantly stared at by western countries. At this time, it is obviously unwise to attack a permanently neutral country. The Soviet Union reacted aggressively to this incident, and the spy plane had to be shot down. What did the Swedish plane do? How did the Soviet Union conclude that the Swedish transport plane was a spy?

Why is it irrational to use force against Sweden? Let's first understand the specific rights of a permanent neutral country, one of which is that no country can wage war against it. The Soviet Union raided the Swedish transport plane with its own fighter planes. If there is no justifiable reason, it is suspected of waging war. However, Sweden has never been a white rabbit, more like a fox in a false and kind coat. Some people say that neutrality is a mask worn by Sweden to cover up the perfect score on the face of making war money.

Although Sweden remained neutral during World War I and World War II, it did not participate in the war. However, I have not been idle in diplomacy. The machinery of the military factory runs all night, and the weapons and equipment produced are sold not only to the Axis countries, but also to the Allies. You can say anything as long as you pay. Sweden will also assess the situation. At that time, Germany dominated the European continent, so he not only provided weapons, but also provided timber and iron ore resources, allowing German planes to fly over Sweden and "plot" the country appropriately. Sweden can now become a military power, largely thanks to World War I and World War II.

According to the data, Sweden helped Germany transport 2 1.4 million Nazi soldiers and 654,380+0,000 wagons to the front. It can be said that Germany committed heinous crimes during World War II, including Sweden's "credit". He regarded all the good guys and bad guys as chess pieces. After the end of World War II, Sweden saw the German dying and started have it both ways again, and was soon labeled as Britain and the United States. Not only did it continue to provide military products, but it also used its neutral position to spy on Soviet intelligence and act as a pawn of Britain and the United States.

Of course, this "old fox" in Sweden will not work for Britain and the United States in vain. After all, no one is born to work hard. At this point, Britain and the United States have long come up with countermeasures, sent eight DC-3 transport planes to the Swedish Air Force, and installed various advanced electronic equipment on the plane. Two of the transport planes were sent to Westeros, Sweden, where the AN/APR-9 radar just developed by the United States was installed. You know, this new equipment doesn't even have a few planes installed in the United States, which shows the importance of Sweden in its mind. Since then, these two surface transport planes and the real reconnaissance plane DC-3 have started their "spy" career.

It is worth mentioning that these two transport planes in Sweden were named "Fujin" and "Uni" respectively. At this point, there seems to be nothing wrong, but it is actually a bit ironic. "Fujin" and "Wuni" are the names of two crows in Nordic mythology. Their duty is to collect information from all over the world for Odin, the king of the gods. It's hard not to make people think. Britain and the United States are actually metaphorically saying that Sweden, like these two crows, is working for the "master" behind it.

I don't know if Sweden understands it, but it has benefited from it and began to collect intelligence for Britain and the United States wholeheartedly. In the past few years, two Swedish transport planes have appeared on the Soviet border from time to time under the guise of transportation, collecting Soviet radar signals and military deployment on the Baltic coast aboveboard and then transmitting them to the United States.

The frequency of Swedish transport planes is so high that the Soviet Union will naturally notice that no one's transport planes have been hovering at other people's doors. However, Swedish planes are too cautious. As soon as it reached the Soviet border, it stopped moving and never really entered Soviet airspace. Moreover, when they were collecting intelligence, there was no fighter escort around them, so they acted boldly and made people unable to grasp the handle. So even if the Soviet Union had doubts and there was no direct evidence to prove it, it never found the opportunity to deal with this matter. However, with the passage of time, the Soviet high-level officials were a little restless, and every time the strategic deployment was tepid, it was explored by the United States. So the Soviet side began to investigate and kept staring at its own airspace.

Perhaps even God could not see the past, and the Soviet Union quickly seized a rare opportunity. 1952 June 13, Sweden's "Fujin" transport plane was launched again, carrying eight crew members and starting the 27th reconnaissance mission.

At first, everything went so smoothly that the pilots noticed a rare picture. When Fujin flew to the middle of the Baltic Sea, he suddenly found that the Soviet navy was carrying out large-scale military exercises, even the latest Soviet cruiser was among them. You know, before the United States and the Soviet Union "strive for hegemony on the moon" and then "strive for hegemony" in technology, once one side develops a new weapon, it will be a big news and a big challenge. The new Soviet cruiser is also equipped with the most mysterious radar system in the Soviet Union. If Sweden gets this information, it will be a great achievement.

This is not only an opportunity for Sweden to show its strength, but also an opportunity to gain some benefits from the United States. As a result, the "Fujin" transport plane did not just wander around the border of Soviet airspace as usual, but unconsciously approached the Soviet navy, which was conducting military exercises, without realizing that the danger was quietly coming on its head.

Soon, the "Fujin" transport plane flew above the Soviet cruiser, successfully captured the electronic signal, and took a large number of live photos, ready to send to the United States. As we all know, a MIG-15 fighter plane was dispatched from the Soviet Union's Qom Air Force Base long before their action, and it followed their ass early, waiting for an opportunity. Since it was delivered to your doorstep, it is no wonder that the Soviet Union was heartless.

1 1: 25, the "Fujin" transport plane seems to have forgotten that it is facing a powerful Soviet Union, and even stepped up preparations to approach Soviet warships to obtain more information. The Soviet side completely concluded that the Swedish plane that had been wandering in its own airspace had been stealing their information and immediately roared. The unbearable MIG-15 began to output powerful firepower. It is said that in just four minutes, MiG-15 fired 120 bullets with a 23mm machine gun and 27 shells with a 37mm machine gun. After the 127 shell was fired, the Swedish transport plane, which had not yet reacted, was riddled with holes, and the fuselage burst into flames, falling into the sea together with the eight crew members in the cabin. Maybe these eight people didn't expect to die, but the usual intelligence gathering behavior in their hearts would actually make them lose their lives by surprise.

It is said that the transport plane sent a distress signal to the Swedish Air Force Base at the last minute. But when the base tried to get in touch, there was no response. After many unsuccessful contacts, Sweden quickly dispatched a 15 reconnaissance plane and seven warships to search the waters near the signal. But looking for planes and people in the sea is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and nothing was found that day.

Fortunately, they persisted. Two days later, they found the lifeboat of the "Fujin" transport plane and found that it was covered with bullet holes left by the Soviet MIG-15 fighter plane. Sweden knew that the Soviet Union had discovered their reconnaissance operation, and this hidden reconnaissance plane was shot down by the Soviet Union.

Sweden suffered a dull loss, which is natural. After all, they broke the rules first, and they had to put up with it. However, he may refuse to admit that he conducted military reconnaissance on the Soviet Union with the support of the big boss behind him. They insisted that the "Fujin" transport plane was conducting a communication system drill in the air over Godland Island, but it was accidentally struck by lightning, causing the fuel tank to explode and crash. Sudan was caught on the spot, so naturally it won't believe this statement. In the face of international public opinion, Swedish planes are always bitten to spy on information and violate Soviet airspace.

Both sides hold their own words, but facts are facts, and Sweden's explanation is self-deception anyway. After that, Sweden stopped quibbling and planned to deal with it coldly. But before that, they sent a plane to continue searching for the wreckage in the sea where the "Fujin" transport plane crashed. It is understood that on June 16, a Swedish seaplane appeared in Soviet waters and was chased by two Soviet MIG-15, only to gain something. But the Soviet Union didn't intend to kill him this time, but teased him like a cat and mouse, and shot the plane six times in turn before shooting it down on the sea. Finally, the Swedish pilot floated at sea for about an hour and was rescued by a passing German merchant ship.

Sweden was defeated by the Soviet Union again, and because of its own indefensible situation, it could only choose to submit to humiliation and pretend as if nothing had happened. This unilateral "abuse" at sea has come to an end. Sweden, which has seen the Soviet Union, still has to find a way to repair its relations with the Soviet Union. It seems that it really doesn't want to repeat the past. I have to say that Sweden in have it both ways is really strong. Even in the center of the storm, he can save himself to the maximum extent.

However, the biggest headache for Sweden at this time should be that so many reconnaissance operations have not been discovered by the Soviet Union before. How did you get caught red-handed or even followed this time? Even if they wander too many times, how does the Soviet Union know that the transport plane is actually a spy plane?

In fact, their own family sold their own family, and the Soviet Union just gave some money. It was Stig Winnes Thom, a Swedish Air Force colonel and diplomat, who leaked the news. He was targeted by the Soviet Union long ago. 1948 When he was in Moscow, he was recruited as a spy by the Soviet Union, and then provided military secrets to the Soviet intelligence agencies for 15 years.

At the beginning of the Swedish reconnaissance incident, the Soviet Union proposed to Stig that he wanted to know all the contents of Swedish reconnaissance of the Soviet Union and was willing to pay 600,000 Swedish kronor in exchange for information. Stig may not be able to resist the temptation of money, or he may like the pleasure of being a spy and tell all the information to the Soviet Union. This is a drama in which the Soviet Union waits for him and destroys "Fujin".

Although Sweden chose to ease relations with the Soviet Union, it did not forget to look for the missing Fujin transport plane and eight crew members. Before they found the wreckage, there was an international saying that the "Fujin" transport plane was not destroyed, but forced to land in the Soviet Union, and the surviving crew members were sent to concentration camps in Siberia. This statement is not elegant, and the appearance of the wreckage of the "Fujin" transport plane broke this absurd statement.

In June 2003, I don't know if it was time, or the Swedish authorities didn't let the search and rescue team find it. A private shipwreck investigation team successfully found the wreckage of DC-3 aircraft 55 kilometers east of Gotland Island. The families of the victims who had been waiting for many years immediately asked the Swedish high-level officials to send someone to salvage the plane. Because the weather at sea is unpredictable, bad weather occurs from time to time. Coupled with the limited level of salvage technology at that time, this kind of salvage work was intermittent and took a lot of effort. Finally, the whole plane finally came to light and was sent to the Muska naval base near Stockholm.

Unfortunately, among the eight crew members killed, only four bodies were found, and the whereabouts of the other four were unknown. At this time, 5 1 year has passed since the incident occurred, and the Soviet Union has also disintegrated. Sweden finally admitted that "Fujin" transport plane was a reconnaissance plane, specializing in reconnaissance and photographing Soviet military activities in the Baltic Sea coastal areas. It seems that only those who have done bad things will tell the truth when the threat does not exist.

The shooting down of the Swedish reconnaissance plane by the Soviet Union came to an end, and it should be that the Swedish spy Stig played an important turning point in this matter. If he hadn't leaked the secret, the Soviet Union might not be able to solve the trouble in a short time. I have to say, Stig's life is also wonderful. Did anyone ask him if he regretted being a spy? Stig's attitude is very firm, saying that even if life could be repeated, he would never choose another way of life. Then why on earth did he go to spy?

In Stig's autobiography From the beginning to the end: A spy's memory, Stig argued that he chose to provide information to the Soviet Union in order to promote world peace, maintain the balance of world military forces, make the Soviet Union and the United States evenly matched, and avoid or transfer the war crisis. And he will become a spy at first, not only because his pride and conceit are hit, but also because he wants to follow his friendship with the Russian diplomatic corps.

However, his remarks were quickly overturned, and the Swedish side showed the so-called real reasons in subsequent research reports. It is said that this research report was written during Stig's detention, but it is doubtful whether they induced Stig to say it, or whether Swedish high-level officials made it up when they saw that Stig could no longer convey information to the outside world. We don't know the real truth. According to the report, Stig agreed to be a Soviet spy because the Soviets knew that he had been a spy for Germany during World War II. If Stig refuses to be a Soviet spy, then the Soviet side will announce his experience to the outside world.

In fact, this reason is a bit convincing. After all, Stig was not very important in Sweden at that time. If this story is exposed, he may even lose his job. On the balance, working for the Soviet Union not only pays well, but also feels valued, which is also a good choice. Whatever the reason, in short, from 1948, Stig began his spy career and provided the Soviet Union with a large number of Swedish defense secrets, such as missile launch plans and air defense control systems. It is said that Stig's leak brought tens of millions of Swedish kronor to the Swedish military.

Although Stig hides the identity of the spy deeply, there are many immoral things to do, and there will always be a flaw. The Swedish secret police have been eyeing him for a long time. Unfortunately, Stig's work is rigorous, and the police have never found enough evidence to arrest him. Many things happen. Swedish police disguised as maids broke into Stig's home and successfully found many confidential documents and photos in the attic.

Not long after, Stig was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, due to good performance, Stig was released from prison at the age of 68. Maybe God punished his life. Stig's family died before him, and his last few years were lonely and peaceful. So what do you think, if our country is on the side of the Soviet Union, how will we deal with such actions as Sweden?
