🇸🇪🇺🇦 Sweden can today present an artillery package worth approx. 300 million USD to Ukraine through package 18. Sweden will procure and donate 18 additional archer artillery systems and 5 ARTHUR (artillery hunting radar) systems to Ukraine. (1/5) Image
Sweden has previously donated 8 Archer systems to Ukraine. They are appreciated by 🇺🇦 and have done a good job at the front in delivering damage to the Russian occupiers. With a combination of speed, precision and mobility, Archers are a formidable weapon in Ukraine. (2/5)
The five ARTHUR systems will help detect artillery shells and calculate their place of origin. This will provide the position to friendly systems for counter battery fire. The Arthur system has previously been donated to Ukraine by Sweden and the United Kingdom. (3/5)
Open sources suggest that Russia has lost over 437 towed artillery pieces, 869 self-propelled systems, and 451 multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS). This Swedish artillery package will hopefully boost those numbers further. (4/5)
Sweden will also enter the artillery coalition to coordinate and supply Ukraine's defence forces with modern artillery systems, ammunition, and training. The long-term goal is to strengthen Ukraine's artillery capability and increase interoperability with NATO. (5/5)

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)
