I'm surprised you haven't heard of Archer. It is the best self-propelled howitzer in the world.
Don’t forget the archer paired with Excalibur 🤤
I've heard of the Archer as being the best SPG in the world, yet ignored by other countries until its first deployment in Ukraine. The results speak for itself!
And bought by GB
I remember seeing those on TV for the first time and wondering why we had the old p.o.s towed artillery haha. As Marines we were used to getting second hand gear but the Archer is leaps and bounds ahead in technology. I was impressed and a little pissed at our own government LOL. It was like "why aren't we buying these or at least building something similar?" In Iraq in 03 when our Motor T trucks got hit, some of our artillery got left behind initially. Keep in mind it was the invasion, so we were constantly moving the 1st month.
@@TheMeanmarine13no ex-Army Paladin howitzers?
i am swedish 57 years and we are like at least 600 000 who did mandatory service and we are grumpy gen x 😂
Sweden have lots of 35+ people who have done mandatory service, I will die for Sweden staying Sweden.
Archer is one the best Howitzer ever made. It's like a sniper gun on steroids!
Even GB have them.
YEaaahhh :D
SOG was founded 2011 as a new unit in swedish military. They have operated in Afghanistan and other countries side by side with US rangers, Navy Seals and UK SAS to name few units. Fun fact, in the SAS: Who Dares Wins was a swedish femail competitor that was a former Swedish SOG member.
The gripen has such a unique sound when it flies past you. The turbine whine is so cool.
Had 2 of them go past my house a year or so ago. Was standing near a window when this incredible loud sound reverberated through the entire neighborhood. Managed to see them make a sharp turn and head toward the coast at very high speed. Was most likely on their way to intercept Russian jets. Read about an operation done by the Swedish Airforce later, in the paper, that coincided with the date of my sighting, so most likely was that sortie.
I remember thinking "Yeah boys, go get 'em" as the planes flew off.
It is the exact same sound as a northern swede makes when saying "yes"
@@vicolin6126 I remember one of them landing on the wrong road some years back and turning on the afterburners to get back up in the air quickly, apparently killed a whole henhouse on a nearby farm doing so!
Swedish special forces are called S.O.G ( Special Operations Group ) We have a small military but we have good gear xD And yes look up the Archer and CV90 if you got the time :D
Thank you for your service !
Glad you have the gear, you can ship them to us in Finland (and Baltic brothers south of us) if/when things get ugly.
Lets get this straight ok, Sweden dont have an army worth calling army... They are so filled up by Hbtq and rainbows and snowflakes so no one takes them serious...
@@ilari90 Sorry for late answere but hell yea brother, just say when you need it and we will do the rest😎 We can trade, you get some gear from us and we get a few men / women out your reserve cuz we need it🤣 Stay frosty Finland🤪
Not only did they invade Ukraine, they flew nuke bombers over our territorial airspace, what the hell did they expect... 🇸🇪
Flew bombers over your head but i don't know what you expect when you're sending weapons to fuel a war that's killing thousands of my Slavic bretherin you people are oblivious to the fact that NATO pushed into Ukraine and worried the Ruski's which if you sat your a$$ down you'd not have caused but of course you people had to ruin the peace now then what are we left with? Ukranian SBU agents cought doing a massacre 2 months after the Bucha massacre in the same place,Ukranians being beaten in the street thanks to that puppet Zelensky and being thrown into the front after having been kidnapped off the street on their way to work and of course can't forget the infamous Boris Johnson telling them to refuse a peace deal that could have ended the war 2 years ago.
Believe what your govt wants you to believe in and be the sheep while they're the wolves
They didnt invade Ukraine. They came on behalf of the citizens of donbass who were being slaughtered by natos proxywar.
@@Oregon123someone needs to get out of Putins leash! 😂
@@Oregon123 how is it bloodthirsty?
Ruzzia invaded a sovereign country, murders thousands of civilians (on top of the military defenders), destroys Ukraine infrastructure and so on..
Yeah, mm the bloodthirsty one.. Today's Darwin awards go to you Sir!
It was a Swedish sub that "sunk" a US Carrier (with photos) a couple uf times
What's up homie, Swede here! Our "Amphibious Corps" is indeed 'marines' equivalent - we have USMC and Royal Marines here training with them fairly often and most video of the training is archipelago or beach landings with the CB90's! Regarding video recommendations there was recently a longer video released called "Låset i norr - I 19 och Norrbottensbrigaden" that has English CC available on it! It's a well-produced video that usually gets a fair amount if clicks! :) Cheers!
I was just one a military training with the homeguards (adds up to 47% of the Swedish military power, not mentioned in this video). And amphibious came to the same Island as we were located on. They had been on boats for 9 hours and then entered the Island, starting their practice. So yes, they are very quick between the seas and the land and operate on both places.
Important to mention that if the war comes, everyone in the Swedish society has to contribute in one way or another. They'll put you in a role they'll see fit, and you can't avoid this duty. It's part of our total defense and social contract with the government. So we could most likely call up way more soldiers(it takes time to train tho) and people in different positions if the war came.
And let us not forget the National Guard wich nowdays basically consist of semi active reservists instead of old men willing to defend their homes.
Though mostly we won't be called up as soldier, as a untrained soldier is not very useful. But we'll contribute whatever ways our competence allows.
Me, as a nurse, my War Placement is in the hospital, so not a big change for me there
Honestly it's very impressive how far Sweden have independent Capabilities to fill their own equipment and have Capabilities to supply their neighbor if needed.
In a all out war with the Russians they will lose the production game very quickly and that's something we have to acknowledge.
No nock to Sweden, great country and military none the less, but its not independently. Given their agreement with the US we are oblidged to give them our higher end gear and supplies. Statistically most of the gear they are currently listed as using is from Lockheed and Northrop with headwear from Rytheon, all of which sell 1000% solely to the US military. The defense cooperation agreement allows them to use of this gear and equipment. 13.6b in gear and 25b in weaponry was the deal which weve given already 80$% of that deal hence their rapid improvements in military hardware within the last decade with no increase in GOP to show how they can afford over 10b in gear out of the blue. Again, nothing against the great swed's but their rapid military growth is 100% the result in their agreement with the US to share US military hardware for Swedens political favor in the future, smart trade tbh.
@@devinjenkins4752 Nae, we have a great collaboration with the US, it´s a give-and-take situation. most of our (Swedish) weapons (Carl Gustav, CV90, CB90, Stridsvagn 122, RBS70, RBS15, Red Dots, Submarines, Corvettes, Guns (Bofors), Radars (Ericson), and so on are 100% Swedish Design........you buy weapons from us and we buy from you. Don´t make it like you are a big part of our creativity when you are not!
@@devinjenkins4752 what the hell are you on about? you are pulling this out your ass.
I live in sweden and we are just now rapidly bothe get more soldiers and more of everything to reach the 2 percent goal for NATO
The Archer is damn cool, I think you'd have fun looking at it
When I did my military service, everybody needed to do it. We could put a 900K military force. It was clear who the enemy was. I can still until this day identify a Soviet T72 and T80 tank. When the Soviet collapsed, we change from a defending from Soviet attacks to having a smaller force that can help UN in for example Afghanistan and Mali. Now we are rearming. I would say the threat is bigger now than then. I recommend the videos called "if war came" it is in Swedish but have subtitles. ruclips.net/video/4mXC7UMmwrw/видео.html
This is about Swedish readiness during the cold war. I would also recommend "If war comes" ruclips.net/video/Y80utl-RkHg/видео.html This is looking in to the future. Both are of documentary style and released by Swedish joint forces.
No worries, it is not of the propaganda join the armed forces style. It is actually very good and professionally produced.
Sweden dont have big army but they have a law thats called totalförsvarsplikten and states that evry person in sweden between 16 and 70 need to help the military
Do a video on the archer, its an amazing piece of artillery. Sweden has quite the tradition when it comes to artillery in general. (Goes back to making old-school cannons for wooden ships thanks to good swedish iron) Also the Subs are really cool, tend to mess with the US when they have trained together.
When Sweden went down to Mali to “clean up the bad guys”or when they accidentally saved even French foreign legionnaires (interesting topic btw, they’ve got a lot of Russians.)
Tell us more about how they saved french foreign legionnaires! That sounds interesting.
@@kristofferhellstrom I just heard about it, apparently it was a few hostages, among them the two they looked for so they just helped everyone out, even got medals from the FFL.
Should be pre-2013, back when I was just a wee lad fresh into basic 😂
@@kristofferhellstrom and the FFL is interesting from multiple aspects, both social and history as well as current activities (although those won't be easy to hear about i suppose).
To me there's an interesting aspect considering current events as there's a ton of Russians and most likely some Ukrainians as well serving side by side
Archer can fire three projectiles and be about to switch positions before the first projectile hits the target. You should definitely look at these weapon platforms
It can also make it so all three projectiles hit at the exact same time. This both fucks up for the enemy trying to track where it came from and when they find you, you're not there anymore.
If you are interested in the Swedish army, do check out - and react to - the 'Jägarsoldat' series. A very well made production from the Armed Forces, following some conscripts from day 1 to the last day. Highly recommended!
If you you go for that, bear in mind that the first 6 episodes lack English subtitles, but I know that there are people out there that can translate if you reach out.
Nice reaction!
Love the video. im new sub.
And also you should really check out the swedish submarines Gotlandclass.
The sunk the largest carriers of the USA in wargames multiple times and were never caught.
Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪
You should check out the Swedish Combat Boat 90. It sounds like it would be your area of expertise, its main job is to move troops to and from shore.
We are a small country population wise so we decided to work towards hi-tech equipment instead of manpower. So our army is fairly small but they are well trained and equipped with state of the art equipment. The Gripen is a good example, as well as the Archer
Don't forget that Sweden also have a home Guard of 22300 people.
The RUclips channel FTD Facts has a decent video on the Swedish Special Forces (Särskilda Operationsgruppen).The amphibious troops that this video mentions are what some countries call Marines and other call Naval Infantry.
The Archer is badass...best out there right now in my opinion.
There are a couple of videos on youtube about särskilda operationsgruppen(the swedish special forces), but most of the information regarding training, missions they've done and so on are classified.
It is actually pretty fun to go to wikipedia and read:
"Size: Classified
Commander: Classified
Acting Commander: Classified
Support Commander(dunno if that is correct translation into english. The paper guy officer): Classified. " Everything is classified. :P As it should be.
According to wikipedia they have done missions in Kosovo, Chad, Afghanistan, Syria, against islamic groups in Mali and Niger; and the kabul 2021 evacuation.
To put to the Swedish Marines into perspective for you its like the SBS, high physical profile on soldiers. They are called Kystjägare, Coastal hunters
The Archer can fire 5 shots before the first lands. All hitting the target just a few seconds apart. First shot can stay in air for almost a minute.
The Swedish word for special force marine soldiers is "Attackdykare".
as of 2024 we have 8000 conscript every year. 26/4 an important date when the defense committee with its final report, hopefully they will come to the conclusion that we will be much bigger in the future!
Those numbers are not accurate. It’s closer to 100.000 if you count the home guard and the numbers are increasing.
I would love to see you react to a video about our Archer system.
Yes we have marines, sweden have the most islands in the world over 250.000
You won't find much about our special units, but google SOG and perhaps you can find some information.
SOG = Special operation Groupe like Navy Seal and SAS
NOT TO FORGET 775.000 WEAPEN LICENS IN SWEDEN, THAT OWN 2 MILLION 200.000 THOUSAND WEAPEN TOGETHER.
But it’s also the combination with geography and Finland that does it, the two brotherly countries having had long established co-operations. Finland with a really strong army and artillery force, Sweden with it’s navy, air force and highly qualified quick response capabilities. Backed by Nato and particularly Norway in the arctics, they together really will lock down Russian aggression in the north.
Also Gotland locking down the Baltic region and making it easier to reinforce the Baltic states.
Pretty sure we have about 500 CV90's in Sweden, might be wrong though.
Anyway, yes, Sweden technically uses the Leopard 2 tank, but we have our own purpose-built variant of it called the "Stridsvagn 122", literally translates to "Combat Wagon 122". It is a modified Leopard 2 A5 with additional armor and better internal systems than the default German tanks. The Strv 122-tanks were also built in Sweden. So, I would call our tank more of a cousin to the default Leopard 2.
We donated 10 of them to Ukraine, and they praise it as the best version of the Leopard 2 they have gotten, which just warms the heart :)
Yes we have Marines
Yes we do have Marines
Thanks for another good video! Yeah, do look in to the archer self propelled artillary, also the Gotland class Submarine, the Stridsfordon 90 (CV90 in English) fighting armoured personell carrier, the Stridsvagn 122 (probably the the world's best main battle tank), and finally the Visby class Corvette! They are all pretty darn good! ;-)
Here is the Gotland class submarine: ruclips.net/video/C6A3Tq48pU8/видео.html

The Archer is a sniper haubitz on wheels.
It seems to me you could do with a few catch phrases or key quotes such as the fat electrician (such quotes as “quack bang out”) you seem to say “…without me waffling over it…” a lot (I may be saying this wrong as I’m American) so maybe a line of “waffling over it” merch would do well. I myself would buy such merch
The Archer is basically the M777 but self propelled and I’d say it’s the best out. I wish the U.S. would buy some of them to go along with the M119 Paladin.
Sweden also has developed a lot of weapons that is used across western countries. Carl Gustav, AT-4, NLAW, Bofors 40mm auto cannon, Archer and I’m sure there is more or was more.
The Archer is well worth checking out. As is the "Special Operations Group" if I understand correctly is referring to the Jaegers, or the 'Jägarbataljon' in Swedish.
I would suggest this video for the Jaegers: ruclips.net/video/A8ximzNYg8k/видео.html
Aren't our "kustjägare" some kind of marines? :)
Somewhere between SAS/SBS/Seals/etc and Marines/Royal Marines
Marines no but ”Kustjägare ” like navy seals. “Norrlands dragoner ” Artic Rangers.
We have amphibious soldiers that are the equals of the marines? Amfibieregementena? Kustjägarna is more like Coastal Rangers?
Archer is one the best Howitzer ever made.
Look it up if you got the time.

This, this man has not heard of the Archer? xD Damn...
Have you heard of the S-tank? Or the the various Carl Gustafs(not, not the humans)? Or the SAAB J35? The Visby Corvette? Only some of the best military weapons/vehicles that exist. :P Anyways, keep up the gr8 work m8.
You need to look into:
Archer
S-tank
SAAB J35 Draken(The Dragon, or the Kite I guess but I think they were thinking Dragon ;P)
The Visby Corette
We do not talk about the special operations group, because... they're special.
Sweden could still have remained neutral. In fact, once Finland was in NATO, Sweden could have chosen to sit out and probably still benefit the full support of NATO. Since Sweden falling to a hostile force would be very detrimental to NATO security. But, we also promised Finland to join with them, so I guess we should. =)
UK has recently bought the Archer from Sweden. I believe 24 of them.
8 have also been donated to Ukraine.
You can find a lot of info about the Archer in RUclips.
FINLAND: 25,000 active military personnel......870,000 reservists
I dunno much about these things but I remember finland thinking about gripens or f-35s. Gripen seemed to be the better option considering our dictrine is mostly hardly taxing guerilla warfare type of defense. And gripens dont need big airbases, they can land get airborne from roads, even gravel roads are good enough. So imagine these planes sitting in forest roads waiting for their job and then returning back to the forests. But i guess all the tech and stealth stuff was more important + intergration with nato so f35 it is
As far as polar forces, im dead sure these guys are top notch in winter warfair. Thou US forces in Alaska might have a say. lol
Suprised that you didn't know of the Archer. Probably the best SP Howitzer in the world and it is made by us Swedes.
You need troops and gear!
Check out the submarine and jas 39 gripen E.
They are the most impressive ones i guess 🤔
The reason they didn’t talk about spec ops group is there’s very little known about it
Rect to Sandboxx breakdown of Gripen E . He dose a realy good job.
Sweden doesn't want you to know more about the special operations group I think

God luck finding out anything bout swedish SOG their Hedquarters is the only thing I found out bout em and I live in sweden... A friend of mine had one of em come over to the baraks when he was doing the Military service and the SOG op had hidden face and fake name, and he was there recruiting folks to join em.
EDIT: also the SOG motto is Frammåt i Natten (forward in the Night)
I'm pretty sure Sweden sold a bunch of Archers to the UK.
Suggest to look at SOG....Special Operation Group...
Highley trained soldiers, perhaps one of the best in the world...
and a couple of mil old guys trained for war
The defense cooperation agreement Sweden made with the US give it a range of high end gear other nations couldnt get from the US. With that contract comes a nice trade with out military contracted companies like Lockheed and Northrop designed gear and weaponry. Its 1 of only 2 countries with that contract with the US. Anytime the US develops anything you can be sure Sweden will have free range with it so essentially they have the top 90% of gear the US has (outside of a select few top secret weapons like the laser, satellite destroyer, etc). So by that degree Sweden's tech is on par with the US outside of those select few things.
ARCHER is also a British system sold to Sweden and Norway so its not really their system to brag about either unfortunately, that pride goes to the British engineers as its 90% off the BAE-AB 145 system. I love Sweden but 90% of their equipment is not their equipment lol. They rely HEAVILY on the US and British for their equipment. Great military, but given without assistance from other countries they wouldnt stand a chance on the world stage, id say they still have some ways to go to be a feared powerhouse. If someone else can turn the lights off, you dont own the house.
@@devinjenkins4752 Archer is a Swedsh developed & built system, & has now also been bought by the UK. The fact that BAE bought the company that created Archer, doesn't change the fact that it is Swedish.. Similar with many other systems.. Sweden & it's defence industry has a long history of creating & building great military gear, which is why so much Swedish gear is used by many NATO countries, including the US, which like the UK has a history of teaming up with Swedish defenseindusty & expertise when creating new weapon systems, see for exemple Excalibur (Bofors) & NLAW..🧐
@@leifiseland1218 Its literally built off the Abbot 2.3 AS90 systems made by the UK lol. Adding 10% to a system means nothing as a whole. Not only is it built off UK systems its owned by UK so its 10000% a UK system.
Also theres nothing currently used by top 4 countries made by Swedens military outside of minor equipment hense the $7m sales to UK and $23m to US. We spend 34m on scopes, you really think were buying something special with 23m? 7m? They arent selling top of the line equipment. WW1/2 sure their equipment was top notch best in the world. Today they are literally just a subsidiary to US tech and one of the few countries allowed use and free range to use that tech to make whatever they want. Those free range items are the ones you speak of and arent high end. Statistically Sweden gets 13b in gear and equipment while only producing 230m in tech worth selling. Their spec ops literally uses Rytheon gear lmao, why would they use gear produced by a US company if theirs is so good? You are overexaggerating their military might. But yes their Archer system is a UK system none the less. Add a body kit to a car it doesnt change the maker of the car.
@@devinjenkins4752 Built off the Abbot 2.3 AS 90??..🤪😂😂 You are quite clueless, aten't you?.. How about you do some reaserch?.. But then again, I guess for some, ignorance is bliss.. 😂😂 No point in discussing with the likes of you.. 🧐
UK is also the founder of Ikea! But sold the idea, to a swed …….
Sure Sweden has marines. So does Finland. It's been pointed out as a specific asset they bring. And the Swedish and Finnish marines train jointly already. Which is helped by the Finnish marines, "Nylands Brigad", is made up of people from the Swedish speaking minority in Finland. Sweden currently has two regiments of marines, "Amphib" 1 and 2, with Amphib 2 a fairly recent addition and being built up as we speak.
So Sweden and Finland have about 1500 marines each, for a combined force of some 3000. That might not sound like a lot, but it's to be compared to the British Royal Marines, which currently has some 5500+ men. The French and Italians have about 3000+ marines each. The Germans have 1500 in the Seebatallion (only since 2014, and they seem mostly defensive, not tasked with taking and holding beaches). So by comparison NATO just added the equivalent of one of the major European nations in marines capability in the Baltic.
I added some information in your video about the paratroopers that painted their faces and had Mohawks, it's about the real life solder depicted in Band of Brothers, check it out.
You shoud look up the series of the Swedish hunter soldier training. I have seen many other military based youtube channels reakt to them, and they got eng subs, but really dont know how. Look it up, its worth it :) First episode: ruclips.net/video/Mp9sRxfIY_I/видео.html
You say Navy and Marines. Sweden says Navy and Amphibious (together these two are the Marine, in swedish terminology)
The US Navy owns 11 of the world's 43 active aircraft carriers (all of the world's super carriers)-- and that doesn't count its nearly two dozen flat-decked amphibious ships that might well be considered carriers in their own right.
Ok? What has that anything to do with this video?
I mean, if we had a 260 ish million people like the us. Assuming as big a % wants to be in the military. We would have 600k soldiers. Sweden only has a population of about 10 million
yes we have marines
The submarines are so good the US paid for one too go to California to play hide and seek with the US navy for two years.
Well, the highly trained and successful Western (NATO) units are prominently featured everywhere. Especially where there is no real resistance. They were prominently featured in Afghanistan, at the Kabul airport, weren't they? They were masterful refugees. The Finnish and Swedish joining was a great idea, it contributes about 80,000 people to the strength of NATO. Yes, and with a border of 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) to defend. I would like to point out that, meanwhile, the Russian army has been strengthened by half a million people. Are we more secure? After all, these countries owed their development to neutrality, for a few years, and the end of prosperity, because they entered the Western alliance. This was the worst response to the possible Russian threat, because they became openly anti-Russian. Just as the Swiss banking system will also feel that it has given up its neutrality, because in the future, many people will no longer consider Swiss banks completely safe. , while other areas, such as the Cayman Islands, will become more popular. In vain, you have to pay for stupidity.
I gotta ask something have you played socom us navy seals ps2
If not you should give a try
Or og ghost recon ps2 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 1 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Island Thunder ps2 I like because it’s cool you it’s a story mode and you have six man in mission if you’re guy get injured he could go on the next mission but he will still be injured each mission you do you get points each soldier gets points to level up and they get ranks each mission they do but the sad part is that if they died they won’t come back and replace him with a rookie soldier
I think pc has ghost recon og version I never played on pc I play on ps2 if you do play it I heard pc better
Sweden has two marine Regiment's which each has one marine battalion one outside Stockholm and one in Gothenburg.
Sweden has two brigades which is increasing to 4 brigades. The army is undergoing a major expansion right now which is expected to continue as the next defence white paper is due this fall.
Sweden could mobilize 850.000 men in the 1980's but during the 90's and early 00's that was cut massivley.
well most of those men still lives, they might got on the older side but I wouldn't discount them if a war broke out and we needed people holding defense lines.

Russia has had a hate boner for Finland ever since they thoroughly kicked their arses during the Winter War, the majority of international diplomacy between the two has since been something along the lines of Russia uncomfortably leaning FAR too far over Finland's shoulder while simultaneously promising that they're the best of buddies.
There's a reason why there's major roads (perfect for military convoys, for example) going all the way from the Russian border straight to the capital of Helsinki.
Hmm... The issues between Russia & Finland (& by extension Sweden) goes way further back than the Winter War... Finland used to be the eastern part of Sweden for almost 700 years, & the conflicts go back to nation forming years.. Historically, they could be described as each other's arch-nemesis.. Things have just cooled down a bit after 1. the Great Nordic war, & 2 the Cold War.. Now, with the Muscovites attacking Ukraine, showing they are returning to their old expansionist "traditions", Finland & Sweden joined NATO in preparation for what is coming.. This allows them to continue rebuilding their old historical bonds, as well as getting additional strength through NATO.. Further, this opens the possibility of further integration with the other Nordic nations, approaching something similar to the old Kalmar Union, that ended in 1523.. Potentially, this is a "the North unites" scenario in the making, depending on how far it develops, & if so, would result in a rather significant "player".. From a Muscovite perspective, this is really bad news..🧐
Aim-260, ARRW, HAWC, HACM, HALO, SIAW, LRASM are missiles you should check out.
And of course Meteor
From finnish army sergeant reservist here...both of my grandfahthers fought against soviets in 1939-1944...like stalin said "Quantity has a quality all it's own"...never ever underestimate the russians and their gear
That used to be true but with today's technology sending wave after wave doesn't work when the other side can just comfortably take them out from a distance. Their gear is... third rate at best.
We have five of this subs not 4!!! and also patriot systems, and iris t and the Archer is probably the best in its class
No matter how much quality you have, 14000 won't do shit tho
LOL UK bought many archer howitzers are u sure ur a marine?
As of the latest information available, the Swedish Armed Forces comprise a significant number of personnel and equipment. The active military personnel total 24,400, with an additional 11,400 military reserves. The Home Guard, known as "Hemvärnet" in Swedish, consists of 21,500 members. Furthermore, Sweden incorporates 5,200 conscripts annually into the reserves, a number that is set to increase to 8,000 conscripts yearly by 2024. So the Swedish military growns very quickly and the Swedish defence industry is very big.
To begin with swedens Military units have just been for defense and to be fair we dont need Nato to defend us from russia since we are so specialised in our own terrain. and thats alot of ground, forrest, lakes and no roads to cover. also russia needs to invade from finland and thats a whole lot of another task. then you have calulater the distanse from where you are entering sweden. in the north.... then you only got like a distance from copenhagen to paris of absolutely nothing but nothingness and some thundra to take over and also have swedens military defense with kind of the most up to date tecnology to fight of at the same time.
as a swede and former Mil i dont agree with joining nato, or any of the us agressive politics. the peace treaty should have been signed instead. but some english roadman stopped it
Archers are the shit
I like Britts, friendly folks. Once I was on my way to a party in France, but I woke up in the bed of an ugly redhead woman in Ramsgate... I might have had a little to much to drink, the boy where gone with my car, last thing I remember is driving over the bridge to Denmark... 😁😇🇸🇪
Bro i just wanted to tell you that if you are planning to read bhagvat gita, consider reading Bhagavad Gita as it is by srila Prabhupada ❤❤
Yeah! Look into the Archer. You have them in the UK army.
Russia lost a million men trying to take Finland. Finland used guerilla tactics and lost 60 000.
Since then we know the life of a russian soldier is not worth anything to its commander.
You have to look at a video of the archer system it's so good! xD
I'm just curious, what the hell are you talking about? Let's look at some numbers. About 150,000 Russian soldiers attacked Ukraine, the Ukrainian army of roughly 200-250,000 people. They took 20% of the country in one week, Western aid started, as much military support as the Ukrainian 50-year budget of the armed forces. One and a half times more than Russia's annual military budget, in 2022 Russian military expenditures are estimated to have increased by 9.2% to about 86.4 billion dollars. This corresponded to 4.1% of Russia's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022, compared to 3.7% in 2021. Now, after 2 years, the entire West has run out of tools and ammunition, and the Ukrainian front is collapsing. What good was the whole??? Apart from the fact that 7-800,000 Slavs died, most of them Ukrainians, they destroyed an entire country, Western arms factories received enough orders for 5-10 years. Congratulations to your former prime minister, Jonson, for preventing the cease-fire negotiated in Istanbul. So the Donbas it did not become an autonomous Ukrainian territory, instead 2 other oblasts were included in Russia, and as things look, at least another 4 will meet this fate. Maybe if more English, American, French, German, Polish, and other nationalities mass-murdering psychopaths had gone to fight in a war that was independent of them and not part of them, the situation would have been different. The only good thing is that the majority died. It's not a pity for them.
we do have amphibious troops, we have something called amfibieregementet (the amphibious regiment) that works almost exclusively at sea, usually around the Stockholm archipelago
Yeah that channel is AI also it's not very good for AI.
The Meteor has 200km range and is throtleable because it uses a ramjet it's the best air to air missile in the world.
204 Gripens where built but the A/B versions have all been retired or converted into C/D versions, the A/B version was also a much simpler aircraft then the C/D to keep cost down and it lacked a lot of features like an internal ECM suite.
Sweden has 96 Gripen C/D and all export customers use the C/D except Brazil which uses the E/F version, Sweden has 60 Gripen E on order.
OMG.. sorry but, have you been living under a rock...?? Take a look at the Artcher.... you realy need to!!!
definitely look into the Archer, it's probably the best self-propelled howitzers available right now
I think the thing that tipped the scale was seeing how NATO members were staying out of Ukraine to avoid having a Russia-NATO conflict. The Swedish defense was in practice designed to withstand an attack for long enough for help to arrive from other countries, but Ukraine showed the problem in help crossing the NATO/non-NATO divide.
