This only seems achievable with conscription across Europe & a wholehearted commitment by the US. Or... if Ukraine becomes a NATO member. But that won't happen. And even if it did, the capability requirements might grow.

Sweden had 29 brigades in the 1980's in the late 90's it still had 16 brigades, today it has just increased the number to 4. Don't be surprised if Sweden answers the call for more brigades, the problem so far is a lack of younger officers and NCO's to man and train these units. A fifth brigade was struck from the most recent defence white paper because of that very problem. I think Sweden will want three divisions in the long term if possible and if trump manages to push for 3,5% GDP spending on defence that's enough. Traditionally Sweden has been divided in three areas north central and south and a division in each of those areas would make a lot of sense, though the northern division might be struck as Swedish brigades are slated to join under a Finnish division. As of today 1-2 Brigades are promised to Finland for that purpose.

I am a Finn and I must say that this presentation is quite well done. I do not agree with the Finnish naval forces information; truth is Finnish naval forces are crappy. Russia knows the weakness of Finnish naval forces and that's why bad things happen / will happen in nearby future in the Baltic Sea. Finland has tremendeous expertise on landwarfare but in marine engagement we rely on seamines and bunch of missile boats

Jeffrey Sachs kertoo askel askeleelta kuinka Nato/EU laajeni itään Venäjän toiveista, pyynnöistä ja vastustuksesta piittaamatta! Tämä oli suunniteltu jo ennen v. 1992 Brezinskyn kaudella alkaen mm. Latvian, Liettuan, Eestin, Tsekin, Romanian liittämisellä Natoon ja lopulta myös Ukrainan. Kaikki siis huolimatta lupauksistaan Gorbatsoville, Jeltsinille sekä Putinille olla laajentumatta! Tarina on todella karmiva ja osoittaa USAn holtitonta piittaamattomuutta ja uskoa omaan ylivoimaansa ja oikeuteensa mm. järjestää ja rahoittaa mm. Maidanin vallankaappaus ja siten Ukrainan sisällissota v. 2014 ja edelleen venäläisten alueiden pommittaminen. Vasta sitten Venäjä toimi ja alkoi turvata länsirajaansa ja estää Naton ydinaseet rajoillaan sekä mm. Naton laivastotukikohdan tulon Krimille. Tässä on hyvin selkeä ja yksinkertainen tekstitys englanniksi, joten yksinkertaiset ja sivistymättömät lapsiministerimme sekä myös idiootit ja sotahullut kenraalimme sen saattavat ymmärtää, heille kaikille tämän tulisi olla pakollinen oppitunti! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJCxmGabfpJ1n7csi=NVBbq5NFFYP8582O

The wartime structure and composition is not open source, but just for a thought experiment: using the NATO definition of 2000-5000 men per brigade would mean 56-140 brigades. If we assume that 2/3 of the force is logistics and support, then just the fighting brigades would still be 18-46. Add to this also some 12 000 Border Guards.

All infantry and jaeger battalions have organic heavy mortar companies and jaeger companies are themselves equipped with light mortar teams. In older force organization charts battalions were supported by anti-tank platoons equipped with wire guided ATGMs for long to medium range anti-tank defence and heavy recoilless rifles as well as heavy disposable AT weapons for medium to short range effect. Additionally jaeger companies are themselves equipped with loads of disposable AT weapons for self defence. There have been changes to the force organization and armament and in training use wire guided and unguided weapons have since given way to more advanced ATGMs such as the Spike family of missiles as well as NLAW for short range defence.

The 250 AIM-120 C8 have already been delivered Sweden has also ordered an unknown number of Meteor missiles so the air force is building up its stocks of air to air missiles. The targeting pod is the latest Litening 5 from Israel, this pod has allready been ordered and i think delivered for the Gripen E, this new order was for the Gripen C/D which is getting an unplanned MLU because of the deteriorating security situation. Sweden has 96 Gripen C/D in service and when the Gripen E is being delivered Gripen D will be released for use as the advanced trainer so that is a new Gripen squadron being activated that could be used in case of war. Also the F16 wing in Uppsala which lack squadrons is expected to get 1-2 squadrons of gripens as the Gripen E deliveries increases the number of fighters in the air force. No decision is taken on that but it's mentioned in the future planning expected in the next defence decision. The Supreme commander has also mentioned that he wants rocket artillery for at least a battalion, the current frontrunner is the Israeli Puls system, this battalion would be on the division level. We are going to four brigades now but it's expected the new regiments in northern Sweden will be getting more units today they train five infantry battalions in arctic warfare, don't be surprised if these get tasked with forming 1-2 Arctic brigades in the coming years, the discussions have been about 1 Arctic brigade to support the 19th mechanized Arctic brigade in Finland. As it currently stands the 19th mechanized is expected to operate in Finland under Finnish command in case of war because Finland for reasons that are all to obvious concentrates it's defence in the populated south. i must commend you though you have very few errors in the video you just missed a few things but that's easy to do.

A vehicle like the SISU GTP(will be called TGB24 in Sweden) would be nice for them, but might get a bit expensive if one wants it as the standard vehicle for the whole organisation, with that being said, 260 of these have been ordered by Sweden and Finland for various purposes, e.g Air defense(in Sweden probably Saabs RBS 70 NG, but thats just a guess, could be another system as well, RBS 70 NG will be mounted on BV410 to btw), so it would make sense in some ways.

More AA is also being procured for the amphibious forces; 10 KRR's, and some other MSHORAD for instance. Together with Finland, they're getting 260 4x4 GTP APC's. They also recently added a third Global Eye to the two previously ordered. The somewhat secretive orders for new CV9035s are estimated based on other orders to total 90-100 vehicles, of which half will be donated by Denmark and Sweden to Ukraine. A noteworthy mention might be the staggered roll out of a new rifle system with various variants and calibers for all uniformed personnel. This is outside of this video's scope, but they're also investing in tripling their 155 MM shell production with EU support. Finally, it should be noted that Sweden, in addition to its military defense also invests in its reactivated civilian defense and resilience systems, which in light of Russia's war of colonial conquest in Ukraine more nations should do. The sums are fairly modest so far and include everything from restoring bomb shelters to increasing the storage of essential goods in the private sector. The role-model here obviously being Finland.

During 1994 to 2006, the Social Democrats were a minority government, although they proposed disarmament, a majority of the Riksdag voted for it

Ooh, the NH-90 helicopter project...what a mess that became. Aquired after years of procurement, ordered in the beginning of 2000 and delivered 23 years later, developed in 21 different models depending on ordering countries etc, was of course a huge delay and disappointment, coupled with rampant costs, and the search for a replacement model began many years before delivery. The servicelife of it is therefore looking to be very short.

It's a shame we don't have any air defense to speak of. Especially considering how important that have been shown to be in Ukraine. But maybe the plan is to use the air force and navy for intercepting missiles and drones?

Well Sweden has a lot of RBS70 and RBS90. Sweden also have Patriot, IrisT, Bamse and a lot of 40mm Bofors guns.

The Air force can help however, the navy has no current anti air capability

You guys have Patriot, IRIS-T SLS and RBS-70 plus fighter jets. That is quite good.

Takk for en svært god og informativ video! Ps: det hadde vert intressant å se en oppsummering av det hele det nordiske forsvaret totalt. Altså: Norge, Sverige, Danmark og Finnland. Ville det samlet vert den største militærmakt i Europa?

@filipforza8133 3 ай бұрын

No, it would not be one of the largest. But one of the best, maybe ;)

@perdanielsorenby9368 3 ай бұрын

Fully agree with you here

Agreed, now that all of the Nordics are under the same NATO JFC in Norfolk, there should be plenty of opportunity to combine the militaries of the 4 (5, with Iceland) nations. However, this is an ongoing process and the defense plans aren't made public.
