Russian jet ‘chased US spy plane into Swedish airspace’
[Tens de ter uma conta e sessão iniciada para poderes visualizar esta imagem]By IAN ALLEN | intelNews.org
An American spy plane was forced to enter Swedish airspace without permission in order to avoid a potentially serious encounter with a Russian military jet, which tried to intercept it in international airspace. Swedish news agency Svenska Dagbladet said on Monday that the incident happened on July 18, one day after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over Ukraine. According to Swedish sources, the US plane was an RC-135 Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft, which had been flying in international airspace on an eavesdropping mission, collecting signals intelligence on Russian military positions. All of a sudden, however, the American pilot noticed that Russian land-based military radars had begun to track the plane. Eventually, the Russians “locked” their radar on the US plane, which is usually interpreted as a step before firing at the aircraft. Such a move is not illegal, but is described by experts as “highly unusual”, especially when involving unarmed aircraft flying in international airspace. Shortly afterwards, the Russian Air Force sent “at least one” fighter jet toward the US aircraft in an apparent effort to intercept it. Swedish officials were later told by their US counterparts that the American pilot became seriously concerned that his aircraft might get fired upon, so he decided to abort his mission as soon as he could. He therefore ended up flying the plane over Sweden’s airspace without approval from Swedish air controllers. It is believed that the US plane may have crossed into other nations’ airspace, also without permission. Stephan Persson Tyrling, director of air operations at Sweden’s National Defense College, told Svenska Dagbladet that “Russia may have felt provoked” and embarked on an interception operation in order to “tell the US that they flew too close to their airspace or interfered with their [military] exercises”.

[size=31]Japan Marks Hiroshima Bombing Amid New Defense Debate[/size]
Japan commemorated the sixty-ninth anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima on Wednesday, with tens of thousands gathering for peace ceremonies (AP). Mayor Kazumi Matsui gave a speech that called on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government to bridge differences between nuclear states in the quest for global disarmament, although he refrained from directly mentioning the issue of Japan'scollective self-defense (JapanTimes). The anniversary comes as the country remains divided over Abe's controversial cabinet decision to reinterpret the constitution (AFP), allowing the country's military to defend foreign countries and play a greater role overseas. The 1945 Hiroshima bombing killed around 140,000 people, prompting Japan's surrender in World War II.
Analysis
"With his sights set on reinterpreting Japan's postwar constitution, Abe has run intoconsiderable domestic resistance. But the changes in Japanese politics run deeper than party rivalry and legislative contention," writes Sheila Smith for CFR.
"In short, the Japanese public appears anxious about separating from the past, but equally convinced of the need to prepare for the future. The debates over amendments to as many as 15 existing bills in the fall and winter will hinge on how well Abe portrays his policies in the latter affirmative context," write Michael Green and Jeffrey W. Hornung for The Diplomat.
"After all, the new interpretation of the peace clause became possible only because so few Japanese people remember what the last war was like. It is hard to see how such forgetfulness will contribute to peace and security," writes Norihiro Kato for the New York Times.
