🇸🇪 today announced the biggest military aid package to 🇺🇦 yet for approx. 1,2 billion USD. Apprx. 90 million USD will be allocated towards production of 🇺🇦 long-range missiles and drones. Sweden will also send military aid in the form of AT4:s to Moldova. (1/9) Image
From the Swedish armed forces stocks, Sweden will double the amount of donated combat boats 90 from 16 to 32, adding another 16 CB 90s in this package. The combat boats will also be aided with 23 weapons stations and 1 million 12,7 mm ammunition. (2/9)
Sweden will also send 146 trucks, 1500 TOWs, 200 AT4 with training equipment, infantry and CBRN equipment. The donations from the Swedish armed forces, from marine and army stocks, will amount to approx. 294 million USD and roughly 25% of the military aid package. (3/9)
Roughly 45% of the package, 534 million USD, will be used for new production from the defence industry to Ukraine's armed forces. This can be directed towards prioritized needs, such as artillery, long-range strike abilities and drones. A short delivery time is important. (4/9)
58 million USD will be allocated towards the education and training of Ukrainian soldiers in 2025. Sweden is already active within INTERFLEX (infantry), INTERCHARGE, (marine), NLETI, (mines) and EUMAM (soldier and medical training). (5/9)
71 million USD will go to repairs and maintenance of already Swedish-donated equipment. It will also be used for transport and security for logistics. The funds will also be used for services from the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and the Swedish Defence University. (6/9)
FOI will continue to support Ukraine in establishing a defence research institute in Ukraine but will also provide support regarding equipment and software. Furthermore, training in the field of mine clearance will take place. (7/9)
The Swedish Defence University will be tasked with carrying out a training program for students in Ukraine, which works as a high-level course on strategic decision-making at various levels of conflict. This also shows that Sweden's military support is expanding in scope. (8/9)
Approx. 250 million USD will be allocated towards different international funds. 178 million USD will be directed towards the Danish model, which aims to source funds for Ukraine's defence industrial base. This also builds sustainability and resilience within Ukraine. (9/9)

Sweden will soon contribute substantial funds to make Ukraine able to mass produce Ukrainian long-range missiles and long range drones. Presented the news with 🇺🇦 defence minister Rustem Umerov at Karlberg Castle today. (1/4) Image
This will be made possible through the Danish model. It aims to channel funds to the Ukrainian defence industry to make them able to build more indigenous weapon systems. This increases the industrial base in Ukraine and Europe. (2/4)
Sweden stands ready to cooperate with partner and allies to further develop and increase Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. Ukraine must have the tools available to defend itself. (3/4)

🇸🇪 government today decided to reject the applications of 13 offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, while granting one (Poseidon) on the Swedish west coast. The reaction time in the event of a missile attack could go from 2 minutes to 60 seconds with wind farms in the way. (1/4) Image
With war in close vicinity, Sweden finds itself in a serious security situation. Defence interests must carry significant weight when these kinds of decisions are made. We also have a special responsibility within NATO for security in the Baltic Sea. (2/4)
It is especially important for the Swedish Armed Forces to be able to operate at full capability in those areas of the Baltic Sea where applications now have been rejected. The proximity to the heavily militarized Kaliningrad area is also important in this context. (3/4)

Today we announce that the 🇸🇪government will increase the Swedish military budget next year by 13 billion SEK (+10%), bringing the total amount to 138 billion SEK. Sweden’s military budget will therefore reach 2,4% of GDP in 2025. (1/7) Image
In 2024 the military budget grew by 28%, and in 2025 it will grow an additional 10%. The security situation demands further increases and Sweden will answer to that task. It’s important that European allies inside NATO assume a larger responsibility for Europe’s security. (2/7)
Sweden will reach its requirement targets for officers (10k) and full-time/part-time active personnel (10k) in 2025 and is on course to conscript 8000 recruits next year. (3/7)

The government today presents a new military support package to Ukraine worth approx. 445 million USD. We continue to go from donation to the production of arms to Ukraine. With Sweden’s strong defence industrial base we are well equipped to undertake this transformation. (1/10) Image
Sweden will donate different capabilities in the land and sea domains. More RBS70, grenade launchers, ammunition, anti-tank mines and CBRN equipment will strengthen the Ukrainian ground forces. (2/10)
Sweden will also donate six additional Combat Boat 90 with the addition of some boat launching trolleys. We take note of Ukraine's increasing maritime capabilities in the Black Sea, alongside the corresponding reduction on Russia's side. (3/10)

Regeringen har beslutat om Sveriges första försvars- och säkerhetsstrategi för rymden. Den slår fast hur vi ska nyttja rymdbasen Esranges läge, vår industriella förmåga, innovationskraft och kompetens för att säkra våra försvars- och säkerhetsintressen i och genom rymden. (1/8)
Kriget i Ukraina har tydliggjort att rymden är en kritisk dimension i modern krigföring. Satellitkommunikation möjliggör kontakt med omvärlden och satellitbilder, drönare samt annan inhämtning med sensorer är tillgängliga till lägre kostnad och snabbare än tidigare. (2/8)
Det har gett upphov till termen ”transparent slagfält” där motståndarnas positioner och rörelser mycket snabbt blir kända och de snabbare kan bekämpas. (3/8)
