I got raided by their bigger brother unit, The National Task force, based on a false tip / missunderstanding.
I would rather shelter in place as mortars land than go through that again. They did not storm my apartment, they slipped in quietly at 4-5 AM and then woke me up with 3 people getting onto my bed and one slamming a ballistic shield into my midsection so i couldnt move and the others shining strobe lights into my eyes and laser sights, with their barrels inches from my face and another 8 or so members piling in shouting aiming strobe lights at me...
I was on the floor and cuffed before i even knew if i was awake or dreaming,or that these were police or anything.
So effective,i suppose, but unfortunate for me. Recieved an apology later that day and a drive home + a short debriefing from someone to evaluate my mental state after the trauma of it all.
And thats my little side-story,sorry!
That's insane! So crazy to hear. Glad they tried making up for it I guess haha
btw i was no little guy. Ex military with Jaeger training, previously counter special forces with military police jägare (now MP UND/SÄK?) Tasked with tracking and eliminating enemy,likely russian,enemy SF units. More than 12 years of wrestling,muay thai,boxing, long range hiking in the swedish northern mountain ranges, swimming,hitting the gym.. 105kg/235+lbs yet they had me in under two seconds naked,cuffed,in absolute fear and under control on the floor. And i never heard the 10-15 operators even enter my home or bedroom or take up positions and assault me with strobes lasers ballistic shield and loud yelling despite all their gear and boots and what not.
@@CombatArmsChannel just happy they went in quiet rather than blow my door and trash my small apartment with a bunch of 9 bangers throwing everything to hell lol. Got my computer and stuff back too immediately as they realized even before my interrogation (took 3 hours in a cell before they had the detective ready to talk) and by then she knew they had the wrong person for the wrong reason,explained it and that i was not facing charges and would be recieving my personal affects shortly along with things confiscated for evidence of the now known to be non-existant crime, and then driven home and "debriefed".
I have but one complaint. Someone made a misstake,filed a false charge. I asked to file a counter claim of filing a fasle charge and an officer denied to take that report. In sweden officers by law have to take any report wether they think its a crime or not,worth it or not, only a prosecutor then decides wether to initiate an investigation.
So i never got to know how this all could happen and for 6 months sirens gave me panic attacks and i would block all entries to my home so i would hear sound if someone came,couldnt sleep..woke up sweating.
I thought if it could happen once it can happen again and i dont even get to know why&how it happened or who initiated it..
I am just fine now though. :) Thanks!
Holy shit, that's insane! Worse than a nightmare. I've seen those guys up close twice and they don't come across as people you wanna mess around with. First time I saw them was on a lunch restaurant close to their training camp, second time they entered my neighbours ground level apartment through every window and door at the same time, since he was the prime suspect of a murder that got some media attention ("SVT-Kvinnan").

So, let´s get a few things clear. Some people here don´t know what they´re talking about, so I´m going to set the record straight: Up untill 2015, there used to be one national task force for counter terrorism duties based in Stockholm, and three regional SWAT teams in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö (the one in the video, and my home town). In 2015, the Police Authority became one single agency without county borders. Along with this came the new "nationellt insatskoncept" (NIK), in English; National Intervention Concept. The three regional units became "reinforced", meaning they do this full time, have bigger budgets and train more. Several other SWAT units were stood up around the country. The difference here is that they do regular policing first and act as an intervention unit when called upon.
On a national level is the National Task Force (NI), which is the equivelant to the FBI HRT, the German GSG9, etc. They frequently train with the military SF-unit SOG in case any kind of terrorist or hostage crisis happens that is too big for the NI to handle on their own.

We keep hearing small reports about Sweden and certain cities. Rapes, shootings and people throwing grenades in certain areas / regions. Can you say if this is rumour or is Sweden actually the Rape capital of Europe now?
He wasn't saying jelly, he was saying yellow with a swedish accent. lol
😅😅😅
Nope Yellow its English, we say Gul. Pronounce that "smarty pants"
Dear @@sveneriksson4405, since you seem to suffer from impaired communication skills, I have decided that I will help you interpret the original comment.
The original commenter is trying to reach out with the information that the Swedish accent of the English language can sometimes be hard to understand. He was, therefore, clarifying that the person in the video was, in fact saying yellow, not jelly.
What you on the other hand stated, is that the original commenter is wrong whilst providing us with a statement, which although correct, has no relevance to the original comment. And then you proceed to call the original commenter a "smarty pants".
So, dear @Sven Eriksson, next time, please read the fucking comment before you decide to "correct" the person who is in fact much more correct than you are.
Sincerely, everyone.

This older weapon is a weapon that was the best in both the First and Second World Wars. That's why it's an old weapon, but the function is there. For example, you use a knife that is old but still fulfills its function, even though it is 100 years older.
I’ve had the ”privelege” of being transported in a van once and it was a no nonsense environmemt. Super professional people and the expected beating didn’t happen. Huge props to swedish police in general.
I'm retired, but: Just want to add one (1) thing. Swedish police have a university degree. Once, by my fault, I was stopped. As usual, they were friendly and made me admit, (good questioning technique) that I drove so fast that I should lose my driver's license. I admitted (no one except me and the kids in the car were in danger). The police looked me in the eye and made me understand my "stupidity". The police let me blow the alcohol test and let me go. How fast did I drive? Well, 110 kmh where it was 50! But, as the police said- "I do not judge you by your own statement (I admitted, told the cop). I must be able to prove. Slow down and have a good day, think of your children. I was ashamed.
I used to work for Aimpoint doing research and developing new gear. It's cool to see this. We did a lot of collaborations with the army spec ops and spec ops police.
That's awesome!
Both "Piketen" and "Nationella insatsstyrkan" (National task force) has moved on to the LWRC M6 and has opted to discontinue the mp5 because of criminals increased use of body armour.
You nailed the accent when saying Piket Enhet, I was caught off guard bcs you had the classic Skåne accent (where this is filmed btw)
🙌
Most swedes would consider Skåne accent a bad thing though(this is a swedish inside joke for all you easily triggered people).

That was another cool video! I didn't know police officers in Sweden use Sig Sauer P226 as their sidearm! Here in Finland the police had Glock 17s for a long time but they are being phased out. Now all new police recruits get issued a Walther P99Q
The Swedish military has Glock. But the Swedish Police is looking for a new std pistol. So we'll see what they choose. ☺
The Police version of the AK5 was called CGA5P basically a AK5D with only single shots, the modifications made for the Police made it very unreliable. The AK5C-D is not unreliable.
Also the "Piketen" is more of a SWAT unit and the Special unit is called NI ( Nationella Insatsstyrkan/ National Task Force ) though a lot of the police officers in "Piketen" are also within the NI.
Regarding the Shotguns it varies, they used to have the same as in the military and we have both Mossberg and Remington / Remington 11-87/ Model 870 but also Beretta 686/ Mossberg 590 ( we used it in the Coastal Rangers for a short while ) in the late 80's we had Franchi SPAS-12 for testing and used it for a short while in a few units.
Thought they would show the tactical vehicle as well.
Nice video, seen it before but was nice to see again.
Yeah, CGA5P was much earlier than AK5C/D - it inspired them, but the C/D versions are a much more complete package with much better reliability.
Sexy! ”The gun not the guy!” 🤣
😅
I spend fair amount time in Malmo visiting my Ex Army buddy Andrej (I'll send him a link to this video) Saw some of these guys arrest a guy in Malmo train station with the shields. . Was as efficient job as you'll ever see!
Living in Sweden, I really appriciate this video. Nice to see that our cops have firepower. The will need it....
Yup! Too bad they get shit every time they actually use them :/
Aimpoint is made in Malmo, where this piket unit operates. That’s what he meant with “”service is always available and close”.
Haha! Piketen. We call it "Slaktarn - the Butcher" in Gothenburg. 😂😂😂
Baseboll-ligan 👍🏻
Thank´s for this nice channel! The Swedish "Rikspolisstyrelsen" dicided that it was to expensive to have both Piketen and National Task Force trained to use the sniper rifle PSG90.
One of their motivations was that they had not fired a single shot while holding the weapon in their arsenal. Makes no sence to me.
PSG90 is used by the Swedish military, so if the need ever occur for the Swedish police i’m sure they would have no problem asking for a little help.
@@Icenheart77 sorry man, there is a law prohibiting military actions on civilians... Has to do with the shots in Ådalen 1931, were the military fired upon strykning workers...
There are two main types of Tactical Teams in Swedish Law Enforcement: The R.R.T.F (Reinforced Regional Task Force) is a local unit stationed in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. (F.R.I or Förstärkt Regional Insatsstyrka) in Swedish) and the NTF, or National Task Force. They are deployed around the whole country and are often used by Federal Agencies.

On the "bangs" I think he said "yellow". I'm a Swede and sometimes I do hear people pronounce it more like "jellow".
Went back, and I think he literally say "...it's yellow marked." And it's in the position of the yellow area in the case.
So no fancy jell-throwning flashbangs, however fun that did sound. ;)
😅😅😅 I was very curious to see a jello flashbang in action
And they do the opposite too: jungle becomes yungel.
Yea that's what I heard too "yellow marked nine banger"
@@Tapio86 And viking becomes wiking.
@@Bravilor Which is funny, as we swedes do say "viking", like "vee-king". So we have the V and not the W sound in the same word. Ah well, I even hear US people say "sword" with the actual W pronounced sometimes, so...yeah, I guess we all have our things. ;)
Only time I've seen one of these units for real is a couple of years ago when I went to a rock festival and there had been a suspected terror attack (drove a truck up a street with pedestrians in Stockholm) so they had extra protection, like sharp shooters near the entrance (up high) and a couple of heavily armed police along the road leading to the entrance area where you could drive up the road (they changed that layout somewhat the next year). Not sure if it was piketen or the national unit but for me it was the weapons, gear, clothing/armor and sunglasses (yes, I'm serious) that gave them away :p Anyway, having those two at the midpoint of that road made me feel very safe as nobody would be able to accelerate up that road without being dispatched quickly...
I love that guy.
Wasn't gel but yellow marking for one of the flashbangs. They put tape on them to distinguish them from eachother.
You can see "them" in the terrisattack in Stockholm... 2017...(video)
The bigger SWAT truck is in the background ^^ 17:57
The ak5 is a D model.. think the police should know that.. barrel was way to short for it to function properly..
The AK5c is a good rifle. I don't know why it gets such a bad rep. I've used it in my 9 months of military training in the army and its main negative really is the weight. It sure is one of the heaviest weapons in its class - but therefore also very solidly built. I've had a couple stoppages with it during my time but that was mainly in the beginning when you're not familiar with it. Once you learn when and why you get a stoppage, you learn how to avoid that. Since then it's always been very reliable for me.
It is Sweden so it will not get hot unless perhapes a few days in July so the equipment is fine.
On local level its the piketen(swat) & national level its the nationella insatsstyrkan(national task force, swat). Great video👍
You should check out the Swedish special police force “insatsstyrkan” they are the most elite police force in Sweden, and are trained along side the Swedish special forces for anti terrorism
When I first read the title I thought it says ' Reaction to Swedish Pikeman '
Piketen is swat and NI (nationella insatsstyrkan) is anti terror
Look up the "insatsstyrkan" it's basically a more badass version of the piketen
These people are called insatsstyrka. "Förstärkt regional insatsstyrka" is the official name of piketen. You are probably thinking about "nationella insatsstyrkan", which are tier-one.
Then there's SOG, which is pretty secret but even more badass
@@loidsemus6783 SOG is military, not police. I am not sure what you mean by "more badass", both units are tier-one but one is military and the other is police. They both probably have a similar level of selection and training, just concentrated on different fields.
Osvath97 SOG is a military special forces unit and is much more secret than NI. I doubt the selection is as hard as the SOG, you can essentially not apply to become SOG, you get picked.
@@AntiKiwieCS On what grounds do you doubt that? I know of tier-one police units with seriously hard selections. SOG and NI are meant to be interchangable in some roles.
And you can apply to become SOG. During some years during the 1990s you had to be picked to join its predecessor, SSG (also due to SSG's existence being for many years a secret). But modern SOG you can apply to.
The reason they don't have the TRG 308 is because it costs a lot of money to keep it useable (ammo, range time, workhours spent on the range and so forth). In bit more than four years time, Piketen never even had to take it out of the box for anything but training. Not having to fire a single shoot, the brass could have lived with, but there was not a single incident where it was remotely considered useful enough to have a guy take the rifle into position just in case. Hence, it was considered a waste of money to keep it in the arsenal.
Hey that is not our swedish version off S.W.A.T swedish swat is called (national task force) piketen are lightly armed compared to that unit
That TRG is a nice Finnish product with a nice hitting caliber😎
It is no wonder that the Police in Malmö put Aimpoint's sights on their weapons. Where Aimpoint started in the mid 70's and is only 1/2 mile from where Malmö police had their horses. When I was there a few times at that time, they started talking about starting an attempt to export the sights to the US and there was some government organization that was interested in buying from them, I did not remember which organization it was.
AK4 with scope, 2 km head shot.....my time in the army 88-89 had the AK5 aswell
Interesting how you want an explanation for why that was removed feom the load out when he literally says five seconds earlier that in the trial-period of four years they didn’t need ro use it even once
Just some information. I think piketen isnt a thing anymore. Instead we have FRI (förstärkt regional insatsstyrka) RI (Regional insatsstyrka) and NI (Nationella insatsstyrkan) :)
React to finnish special operation police Karhu (Bear)
Probably hard subject to gather information in English
Nothing to see....
Are you sure you don't mean Karhu (Beer)? /s
The gear in this video is old, now days most units use Lwrc rifles and ballistic vests from nfm group in Norway.
The only one who has downvoted this clip is the government of China (2020-07-11)
I have yo say I was a little surprised about this video too! Police in Finland would never showcase their unmarked raid vehicles and their weapons that openly. I think for a good reason.
mike smith swedes dont think that far sadly.. and their country going to shit is the proof.. im swedish, and i encounter total idiocy on a daily basis
@@Tombombadillo999 this is the special task force, its not like they are gonna pull you over for routine checks.

The swedish military AK5C is a great rifle. It´s very durable, very reliable. The reason they´re looking to replace is more and more is because of the ammo. The nato standard is 5.56 but can´t penetrate bodyarmor. At least not the ones we´re expected to face. Hence the many militaries have started to look into 7.62 which or some middle sized cartridge (6.8 or something like that) shot from a high velocity rifle.
The AK5C is just fine in the military anyway, one of the most reliable systems imo.
At the moment the only police unit in sweden that have sniper rifles is Nationella insatsstyrkan, NI ( National Task Force) is the best unit swedish police have. They are the unit above Reinforced Regional Task Force, the new name from 2015 of Piketen .
The best Swedish police unit is the one that arrives in proper time when you require their help and they have the correct competence required to solve your troubles.
Did some alcoholic a-hole crash your party and you're too afraid to get rid of him yourself? The normal officers are perfect.
Are you being held hostage by an international gang of terrorists? Might want to send a text-message to the NI. " :-( halp, plz."
I love that the american guy is so american and the swedish guy is so swedish haha
My hometown police, and yes there has been some trouble here
Hey dude! 🙂 Your channel is the first one I actually subscribed to so I’m always checking in your new releases. 👍
Would like to provide some additional information that I think you should be aware of though... the “Piketen” is a branch of the Swedish police that is pretty big, in the sense that there are plenty of those guys, all over the country. They’re *definitely* very competent dudes but they’re “Tier 2” ‘cause there’s actually a smaller Tier 1 division within the Swedish police called “Nationella Insatsstyrkan” (“NI”) which I’d translate to the “Police National Task Force”.
Public information about those guys is, much like SOG, scarce but it’s safe to say that they’re the best of the best from the Swedish police. Unless I’m misinformed, which I don’t think I am, you *usually* don’t apply but rather handpicked and offered an opportunity to join if you’re proven worthy.
If you want, you could look into those guys. One decent vid I found after a quick search is this one;
ruclips.net/video/pyYbgBP_0n8/видео.html
Also, here are two URL’s depicting the respective uniform insignia worn by Piketen and NI respectively;

The police here in Sweden is in a severe need of a budget raise thus why they probably removed that sniper rifle
The equipment and weapons at their disposal now are far more superior to what it ever has been.
What they need is manpower and proper time for training.
Tobi-Navu yes and less sosse idioter that destroy the place for honest citizens
Btw they have replaced the G36 with the LWRC
You have tea in the background so that makes you british.
As previously mentioned, there is a national task force too. Nationella Insatsstyrkan, they respond nationwide to any serious matters that require a little more force than other police can provide. As for the AK5 being unreliable, well, if you didn’t clean it properly it’d have ejection issues with the casings. Other than that, very nice gun to shoot.
Gotta say that when they come out in full body armour they definitely look "cool" - they look like human tanks 🤣
17:20 he said yellow, but he confused the j y sound, pretty common in swedish accents
Not only pretty common but extremely common I would say, since j and y are pronounced the same basically in Swedish, so we don't differentiate that much in English either.
@@carpetclimber4027 ye but it usually goes the other way, like jeens becomes yeens and so on.
The thing about the sniper rifles. The factor here is how much they are needed and the training that needs to be had each year with this specialist weapon to make it an viable option. Training that can be used for the myriad of other tasks they normally preform. There are other units that have that kind of time to specialize in sniping. If there ever is a kind of situation where a long range shot have to be preformed, they will certainly be there.
We have two special operation police units in Sweden: Piketen (FRI) and the second is Nationella instatstyrkan (NI)!
They didn't show the armoured truck.... there was alot more to show, I guess they wanted it secret.
Yeah but if you look in the background you can se that they are using old v70s, this video is probably 10 years old and they probably didn’t have it yet

Soon lots of your Swedish fans will flock here informing you that Piketen changed name 2015 to Reinforced regional task force (well like me now :O).
Forgot to tell why the swedish police have the equipment they have. The police has a board of politicians named "ethical board of the police authority" (or something like that in english). They decide what is ok as equipment and not. Usually its what look "ok" out of PR-perspective. Thats the reason Swedish police does not have water cannons or rubber bullets. Im just examplifying.
Andersson is a classic swedish name
You know Police and Military have different end game. :)
You really should check out “nationella insatsstyrkan”
It’s not “gel” he’s saying. He’s just saying yellow but in a Swedish accent.
This unit is freakin secretive as a for a police force
This was interesting. I live in sweden but always thought the Piket Polis were primarily for riot control. We have something else called the National Insatsstyrkan which are our elite SWAT teams. Now im wondering when the different units are used?
There are basically three levels. "Regionala insatsstyrkorna", the regional SWAT teams that are scattered about Sweden; "Förstärkta regionala insatsstyrkorna" ("piketen"), the more advanced and better trained full-time SWAT teams in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö; and Nationella Insatstyrkan, which is the national resource more on par with military special forces in terms of full-time training, equipment and resources.
Riot control is handled by regular police and those specialising in SPT (Särskild Polistaktik - polisen.se/om-polisen/polisens-arbete/sarskild-polistaktik-spt/).
Penny...Penny...Penny..It´s Sheldon!
Too bad about the Sako TRG. I would have expected those kinds of units to have snipers but I guess their targets are not out in the open.
I honestly don't think they face many situations where it's actually necessary. Even the most despicable criminals know the gig is up if these guys show up. It's much about show of force, secondly acting with such force if the comprehension level is less than sufficient
CGA5P is first generation of AK5A and also first generation AK5D from my understanding with a screw to prevent fullauto unless wartime when it can be removed. So mayby something with the screw creating the problem they experience.And even the army had problem with AK5D first generation too, which was fixed in the next generation of the variant of AK5D that the army still use. About AK5C-D being phased out is long in the future, and not near. SInce FMV(Swedish Armed Forces Materiel Administration) is still looking for a new rifle also waiting to see what standard of ammo NATO is gonna choose to replace 556 with. Regarding banger as some already said he is just saying yellow in swenglish way, and yellow bangs 9 time and 1 banger in the old classic M84 stun grenade only one I dont know anything about is the 2 bang with blue color code. They have even phased out G36c for the Reinforced Regional Task Force (the new name for Piketen except for them based in Stockholm to distinguish them for The National Task Force which is the elite team of all Reinforced Regional Task Force and operate everywhere they are need.) to the LWRC M6 IC.
Solid info, thanks for that🤙
Se have an even better ct called nationella insatsstyrkan (national taskforce) but its unclear what equipment they exactly have
Swedish police are moving from sig p226 to glock
Sako is for snipers, it can take u from half mile away... used in many police forces and army over the globe - i don't get their bosses thoughts???
its politicians, not the bosses that are actually in the police.
he has a kerzekagt shirt :)
the AK5 worked superfine for me during ten months mostly during harsh winter climate. you just got to keep it clean as soon as you can after a firefight.
Aimpoint is a Swedish company, the factory is in Malmo, the same place there this piket unit is based.
You should watch USA vs Sweden recruitment ads.
Yeah this is our SWAT, we have a group called NI or National taskforce in English, they are like the us FBI HRT i guess.
I know a guy that got raided by Piketen due to false terrorism attack the next day. We watching his cameras a few days later. They freaking came tru the window on the 8th floor! We both were 100% sure they locked picked the door but they are crazy
Good to see Swedes using SAKO....as much to their 'chagrin' as it may be.....its the best.
Piketen are exactly like a swat team.

I might just be making wild assumptions. But the technique they described with the riot shields, charging them, pushing them with the shields. That reminded me of the old Viking Tactics involving shields. Vikings could use the thick metal part of their shield as improvised ram to slam into people, sort of like police do today. And then there was the ancient formation known as the Shield Wall, which was also used in the Boar Snout Charge Formation during the Viking Age. A line of vikings with wooden shields link them together, the largest of them stand in the center. They charged forward, still linked, and when they impact the opponents' shield wall, the large viking pushes the other side's shields aside to make an opening. It is rather fascinating that so many medieval tactics are still used today, though some not are just disturbing that they are still used.
Hey, if the tactic works, then just modernize it haha
04:10 I agree, if there are equipment that better suit their needs.... but in the 4 year trial period they never used it once. Hence: they don't need it. The problem, I think (and I'm not a libtard, just a guy trying to look sober at stuff) is that when you have an arsenal of equipment that leans toward the more heavy duty stuff.... somebody one day might decide "hey, we have this big effing gun here that we never use... today I feel like using it"... also, criminals tend to up their armament as police up theirs...
Having said that, I do think that a PROPER sniper rifle should be on the equipment list, but since they never use it, maybe all you need is a handful of people trained and authorized to use it. We don't need the arms race that "certain other countries" has experienced the last 40-45 years...
Awesome video, as usual :)
Quite fun. Sweden can do what you need be done, a dubble calible you needed!
I'm sure they have good reasons to have the equipment they have. And I'm quite sure their snipers have the best equipment for the job. Bullshit try to say that "bureaucrats fault". I'm quite sure they also have exceptions. And the reasoning that they want to limit the amount of weapons to train will result in better training in the weapons they are training in.
In Sweden the cops don't even go to some parts of malmö, Stockholm or Gothenburg because they probably won't make it back. The cops aren't trained enough to fight them and they don't have enough equipment for it i would say they have 3 maybe 4 of those vans and our politicians won't give them enough money to keep Sweden safe.
Luckily these guys arent needed that often. Not as much gun violence here so cops dont need to be as armed but its still good to be prepared
Really???? Alot of people would probably disagree with you when you say not alot of gun violence in sweden....
@@Sanyogo Ye? Its way less than the US, less than Ukraine and Russia, less than Norway.
Saying Sweden has a lot of gun violence is a blatant lie perpetuated by right wing media in a way to influence the immigration polices EVEN THOUGH the ones causing shit are second generation immigrants and not newly arrived Syrians or whatever
The real name off them is F.R.I
Next time please react to piketen in action and piketen documentary! Btw good video
The Swedish Polis dont Weigh 300 pounds like the American Polis so the Armour is no problem
Piketen/Förstärkt regional insatsstyrka is a swat team they can work ct but we have another one call NI Nationella Insatsstyrkan they usually work more ct and both those units are slowly changing over to mp5 lwrc m6s and soon hopefully glock
By the way, you might enjoy Lads' Army / Bad Lads' Army - four seasons of shows where young guys got to try out a facsimile of 1950s national service for a month. The first season was volunteers in general, the following three were "bad lads" who'd been in trouble one way or another. Sgt Rae and the corporals were a particular highlight.
