    About the treads vs wheels question on the Archer.
    The Archer is designed around a Volvo A30D dumper for the very purpose of traversing terrain that treaded vehicles can't.
    The Archer isn't meant to push through obstacles. It's meant to get to a firing area, release its salvo and get away.

      Tracks are better in all cases except for maintence costs and range. Wheels have nothing on tracked vehicles in terrain. And the archers tires are a problem because they didnt use the mining tires but the once you have on things going on farming fields. They break all the time

    Explanation of a Stirling engine:
    ruclips.net/video/OWrk3LE_CS0/видео.html
    The Swedish u-boats just burns fuel to create heat.
    There's no explosion event so less vibration and noise are created compared to a normal diesel engine.
    It's efficient onboard sea going vessels since the temperature gradient between the hot and cold side can be kept high due to the ease of cooling with sea water.

    "Quality over quantity", is perhaps the term you are looking for?
    Sweden (along with Finland when it was a part of Sweden) has been at war with Russia many times. Most of those battles were fought with the Swedes being outnumbered, like for example the Battle of Narva in 1700, where a Swedish force of about 10 000 beat the Russian army of 40 000.
    A numerically small, but deadly force, is preferred next to a huge and ineffective one.

The terrain capability is not as good as a tracked veichle, but very good. It is allso faster than a tracked veichle, and requires less maintainence compared to tracked solutions. You allways have to make compromises, and I believe that those are very reasonable.

The Swedish Armed Forces website also lists that they have at least 56,000 working for the military, not counting the conscript force. Sweden also has 300,000 active hunters who would also get drafted during wartime for some kind of service. Another interesting fact is that, because of the large number of patrol vessels, the Swedish Navy is bigger than the Russian Baltic Fleet, which he sort of mentions because only the German Navy has them outclassed in size.

  • @bjornflintberg3809
    @bjornflintberg3809 5 месяцев назад

    As for the stirling engine of the sub, this is what the company making them writes:
    In its simplest version, the Stirling engine is a closed system with an expansion cylinder and a compression cylinder filled with a working gas. The pistons of the cylinders are linked by a connecting rod. When the working gas in the expansion cylinder is heated, pressure increases. This depresses the piston and thus performs work. Part of the force is used to push the hot working gas from the expansion cylinder into the compression cylinder. Once its outward motion in the compression cylinder is arrested, the piston returns by the inertia of the connecting rod, and by the fact that the working gas is compressed at low temperatures. The gas is then forced back into the expansion cylinder. Overall, the expansion of the hot gas in the expansion cylinder does more work than is needed to compress the cold gas in the compression cylinder. This work can be used to drive an electrical alternator that is directly connected to the engine’s connecting rod.
    So basically, external heat from systems onboard heat the gas, powering the engine. The engine then refills the batteries on the boat (replacing the need for a diesel engine to do the same, which requires oxygen from the surface), and the batteries are recharged. It's basically a battery-charging engine driven by oxygen being heated and cooled and superfluous heat from that process turned into energy.

    The numbers about the Swedish military are not entirely correct, because from 2024, 8 thousand men and women will do their military service in Sweden and that number will then rise to 10,000 soldiers. Sweden will shortly increase its defense budget from 1.4% of Sweden's GDP to over 2%. Several decommissioned regiments will be reopened, including several special units. Although the Swedish military is getting bigger, the quality and skill will get better and better. Since those who snort at the smallness of the Swedish military have a lot of trouble on a mine, including the US. Navy Seals experienced bitterly already over 25 years ago. For one of the speical regiments that will be resurrected is the Lapland Ranger Regiment and has all its activities and specialty is mountain environment. Lapland Rangers skill and speed as US. As I said, Navy Seals had a bitter experience up in Northern Norway in the 90s. Lapland's Rangers had practice against the US. Navy Seals and 3 times the Navy Seals went on a beating and then the Navy Seals refused to meet the Lapland Ranger. Then you should know US. The Navy Seals are professional soldiers who have several years of work like that, while the Lapland Rangers were made up of regular conscripts who had only done 10 months of training out of a total of 18 months.
    The specialty of the Lapland Rangers is to strike quickly and disappear just as quickly before the enemies have time to react. This meant that the Navy Seals were beaten every time. Now this regiment plus other special forces will be resurrected.
    Then the Swedish defense will switch to new handguns, sniper weapons and submachine guns.
    Sweden has bought 321 armored vehicles from Finland, Sweden has previously bought the Patriot air defense system from the USA. As well as much more will happen within the Swedish military, so what is mentioned there is already old.

    I find it rather interesting where these people get their numbers. Except for the Strv122´s I think every single thing was wrong. Also the idea that the reintroduction of the conscription being small somehow negates the fact that there is still 17 years of the old massive conscription classes to draw upon. In case of war that number jumps to 30 years of ye old and slightly long in the tooth conscripts. If Sweden would go to war now there is a pool of 290 000 (more than double that in case of total war) conscripts to draw from. They would presently be armed with sticks and very old crap but that be changing fast.

    The engine is called ”Sterling” and is using heat instead of ”explosions” to drive the engine if it makes sense. I hope it makes sense. The fuel is still Diesel.

    Threads on the archer system would slow it down and also it would make it so heavy that u wouldent be able to drive it around to all places in sweden. Also they are built on the volvo truck chassi so easier and faster build to use the wheels. Our subs is the only today that has sunk a american carrier in wargames. US ended up borrowing the sub to be able to make counter messures. Our airforce also has won against f16, f18 in wargames. We are one of the countries with the best tech when it comes to millitary, the problem is that the youth today are curled wajny babies. When i grew up it was mandatory to do the army. Hopefully they will start with mandatory inlistments.

    More or less, every non-electric engine is based on "expansion and contracting" of gases, even a internal combustion engine so that's a clear nonsensical statement.
    However, the Swedish Gotland subs, uses Sterling engines, based on the temperature difference between super cooled and hot gases, making the engine extremely quit and vibration free, hence the "stealthiness" of the Gotland class subs plus the fact of it's hull coating, making it more or less invisible to sonars, both active and passive.
    Another advantage is that the Sterling engine in itself is completely air independent, hence its name "AIP", Air Independent Propulsion...

    I understood what u meant by a smaller force that is capable, against having a larger force that are not as capable. a larger force with bad training can be a living hell for other forces, they are a danger to better trained people, cause they do more misstakes. Western doctrine"nato doctrine" however has always focused on training, and not numbers. If we are to compare us with lets say Russia and China, they focus on alot of personel, but the training they got is not even close to our western counterparts, specially not when comparing to China

  • @noonesbother3759
    @noonesbother3759 5 месяцев назад

    Like commentator said - its symbolic rather than counting heads and units. Both Sweden and Finland knows their terrain where other NATO nations would be useless.
    Sweden really has advanced tech, more likely one of the many reasons Turkey tried to block them.
    On contrary - Sweden’s neighbour Finland has longest border with Russia in whole NATO alliance and have been through what history knows - The Winter War and prior to that were part of Russian Empire until independence in 1917.
    I think the main point here is - it’s good to have efficient military partner with advanced tech as looks like history don’t teach anyone a lesson and Russia is on exactly that path right now.
    Don’t think they will try to invade any NATO member country but it’s good to be safe than sorry.

    If I remember correctly the subs use a type of engine with a closed off piston that uses heat to compress and decompress the gas and move the piston back and forth in a big cylinder, the moving of the piston drives whatever is being used to move the sub, idk if that makes sense

    • @lindahl01
      @lindahl01 5 месяцев назад

      Correct. The other details that make them efficient is that in the sub enginges the piston is filled with helium, which expands a lot for small differences in temperature, and that they use liquid oxygen and refined diesel to make the heat. This means they dont have to take in air when submerged as long as they have lox left in the tanks.

    The submarines have sterling engines.
    When I was in the army during the ciold war our military was hughe.
    Every able bodied man of reasonably sound mind had to do military service as a conscripted soldier.
    In the beginning of the eighties when I was in the army) I believe that our army could field about 800 000 men.
    Including the navy and the airfore, perhaps it was up towards a million.
    I do not care how much better trained and equipped our current military is, a million strong military would beat them any day.
    To me, and I am sure to a verry large number of my country men, it was clear from the beginning that it was a complete disaster to disband the military after the cold war.
    Not only the military but also he civilian defence was dismanteled.
    In my mind this was pretty much treason.
    The finns were smarter than us.
    They kept their military as well as their civil defence.
    Just imagine if we had kept the size of our military at the cold war level and if we had given them modern equipment and training.
    But the cost was high.
    At the peak of the cold war I believe that we spent about 4,3% of our GDP on our military.
    How much we spent of our civil defence I do not know but we all had bomb shelters to go to and we knew where they were.

    That was the shortest presentation of the subs ever. You might need to check other videos about those. It’s not made for vast open oceans, it’s made for world most shallow sea, the Baltic. drive train is quite secret and it isn’t disclosed how long it can stay under. But as I understand it, they can use any burnable fuel together with chilled oxygen created from seawater, so I guess it could use same as spaceX starship, metalox but as sterlin engine. Very interesting and unique powerhouse. Very little vibrations and low heat signature make it truly super quiet, at the same time small enough to go undetected under shipping lanes in archipelagos. The new A26 has this but with deployment for divers and robotics.

    Hey, nice reaction. Glad to see your optimism regarding us joining. Still not 100% sure it's the right thing for us to do but it's done now so... Regarding the Archer system many had the same question when it was introduced. I served on the predecessor, the band canon. It was more or less the same gun mounted on a tank. I think that the choice came down to maintenance vs traversing capability and dumper wheels was god enough I guess, but that's speculation on my part. Many other things in the system has seen an upgrade compared to the old band canon. When it comes to the submarine propulsion system I think they are being a bit clumsy describing it the way they do. I'ts fitted with a Sterling engine. That's quiet mode. It also has diesel engines. The aircraft is called Gripen. Not Grippen, thats some kind of swinglish. Gripen means Griffon, so JAS Griffon is name of the plane in the game.

    Sweden's manpower issue is mainly due to changes to our military doctrine after the fall of the Soviet Union, where our politicians naively thought the days of potential war in Europe were over. This idea however has changed after the invasion of Ukraine, and the size of both Sweden's military manpower and budget are set to increase dramatically over the coming years.
    One should also remember that Sweden has a "total defense." Meaning every citizen is required to defend the nation if called upon.
