Recently came to my attention that last week, Russian authorities disclosed in their newspapers that they have recently been carrying out escorted Tu-22M Backfire flights over the Baltic Sea.

As far as I know, the last flight was 4 Backfires, escorted by Su-27's, carried out fairly close to Swedish territorial waters.

They were supposedly met by Swedish fighters. No mention of this in the Swedish press.
