Loud bangs were heard in connection with the operation, and the Air Force confirms to Expressen that their aircraft caused the sounds when they broke the sound barrier.
– It happens when you fly at supersonic speed. The incident root has two Jas 39 Gripen on standby and those were the planes that were used, says Louise Levin.
