Planes have been hit by bomb threats all over Europe. According to a Danish expert, the arrow points towards Russia.
According to Panu Moilanen of the University of Jyväkylä, the large number of bomb threats alone indicates that this is not a coincidence.
Threatening to bomb aircraft is a cheap way to create chaos in Europe and something we should take seriously, says Markus Göransson, a lecturer at the Swedish National Defence University and an expert on Russian warfare. “I am concerned about the steady escalation,” he says.

The bomb threats targeting European airline flights in recent days appear to be a coordinated operation and possibly hybrid influence. This is the assessment of Panu Moilanen, a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Information Technology at the University of Jyväskylä. The article Bomb threats targeting flights are based on a coordinated operation, according to an expert, was first published on SSS.fi.
The threats come as European officials accuse Russia and Iran of what they describe as 'hybrid attacks' and sabotage.
