Sweden however treated everyone identically, NATO aircraft would be chased off with the same reaction as Warsaw Pact ones.
There was another side to this, of course. Sweden used the same neutrality to get away with things such as acting as a gunrunner, even when it was against Swedish law. The Swedish authorities turned a blind eye to their arms companies export weapons to anyone and everyone, including blacklisted nations. Even state-owned companies were doing it, and the 'neutrality' was a complete farce.
So their fierce protection of neutrality was also about business...
