Nicușor Dan published the recording of the communications between the Spartan pilot and the Swiss. The Swiss Army has a different version of the mission of the F-18 planes that escorted the Spartan aircraft.

The President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, published on Thursday night the recording of the conversation between the pilots of the Spartan aircraft, which traveled to France, and the air traffic controller in Zurich, in which the decision to escort the Romanian aircraft is communicated. The conversation mentions that the gesture is a sign of gratitude from Switzerland for the help provided by Romania after the tragedy in Crans-Montana.

Journalist Patrick André de Hillerin announced on Thursday evening, in a Facebook post, that after the president's message upon returning from Paris, he requested an official reaction from the Swiss Army regarding the escort of the aircraft carrying Nicușor Dan.

"Dear Patrick André,"

"Your press request has been forwarded to the Press Office of the Army. I can provide you with the following information regarding your inquiry:"

"The Swiss Air Force uses 'live missions' to conduct random checks to ensure that the information provided in the diplomatic authorization request corresponds with the aircraft that is flying over (aircraft type, registration, route, etc.). After a brief check, the reaction patrol departs again. The Air Force conducts an average of approximately 200 'live missions' per year, including the flight you mentioned."
