Visiting Ukraine for the 4th time since the full scale invasion. 🇺🇦 Defence minister @Denys_Shmyhal and I have now signed an agreement on the production of defence materiel by 🇸🇪 and 🇺🇦 companies in Sweden. We are aiming to increase our defence industrial output. (1/5) Image
Ukraine will share and provide technology for its factories in Sweden and defence materiel co-produced in Sweden will be exported to Ukraine. Co-produced equipment can also be procured for the Swedish Armed Forces. (2/5) Image
This letter of intent will be followed by further discussions between Sweden and Ukraine on how we can deepen defence industrial cooperation. We can learn a lot from each other and this agreement aims to make use of that possibility. (3/5) Image
Ukraine already supplies almost half of its battlefield needs through its own defence industry: a major move toward self-reliance in wartime production. This agreement can strengthen that resilience even more. (4/5) Image
In summary, this agreement will strengthen Sweden’s, Ukraine’s and Europe’s defence industrial base. It can boost Swedish rearmament and meet the needs of Ukraine's armed forces. (5/5) Image

Regeringen har tagit beslut om att stärka & snabba på uppbyggnaden av Försvarsmaktens drönarskydd. Vi ska investera över 5 miljarder i fler antidrönarsystem & i en ökad tillgänglighet av Gripensystemet. Leveranstider förkortas med 8 år från slutleveranser 2036 till 2028. (1/4) Image

Över 3,5 miljarder investeras i en ökad antidrönarförmåga mellan 2026-2028. Det handlar bland annat om vapen för att skjuta ner drönare, jaktdrönare till våra flygbaser & störningssensorer för både soldater och fordon. Det kommer avsevärt stärka vår försvarsförmåga. (2/4)
Över 1,5 miljarder investeras även i
stridsflygförmågan. Vi kommer köpa in fler reservdelar, uppdragsutrustning och materiel för att kunna operera vid flyg- och vägbaser. Det stärker Gripens tillgänglighet och uthållighet i fred, kris och krig. (3/4)

🇸🇪🇺🇦Today Sweden presented UA support package 20, worth $836 million. It contains among other things, 18 new Archer systems, an extension of Sweden's long-term military aid to Ukraine with $3.6 billion yearly 2026-2027, and $900 million in yearly civil funding 2026-2028. (1/6)
We will procure 18 new Archer systems & more 155mm ammunition worth $327 million. This brings Ukraine´s total Archer inventory up to 44 systems. When I visited the UA company using Archer last month, they confirmed the effectiveness against Russian targets and attacks. (2/6)
At the marine domain we will procure materiel worth $190 million. Among other things mobile costal radar systems, new marine support vessels with grenade launches & unmanned systems. The 32 donated Combat boat 90 will get additional sensors, weapons systems and radars. (3/6)

Three and a half years into Russia’s full-scale invasion, Europe is still not ready for major war. We are stronger than in 2022, but the illusion that peace is natural has been shattered. Rearmament is underway, yet the pace must increase to match the threat we face. (1/5) Image
Sweden’s NATO membership marks a historic shift. For the first time in 300 years, Swedish forces are deployed on the Eastern & Southern Baltic shores together with allies, from the Arctic to the Baltics. Northern Europe is now one single strategic space under NATO planning. (2/5)
But readiness is not just about troops on the ground. Russia, supported by China, Iran and North Korea, is outproducing us in tanks, missiles and drones. To adapt, Europe must innovate faster, increase production and break the cost curve of defence materiel. (3/5)

En ny obemannad mini-ubåt utvecklas genom forcerad anskaffning för att snabbt stärka vår marina förmåga. Det är mycket positivt. FMV och Saab tar nu fram Large Uncrewed Undersea Vehicle som ska bli en viktig del i skyddet av Sverige och vårt närområde under ytan. (1/3) Image
LUUV kan autonomt övervaka, upptäcka och avvisa hot i Östersjön. Genom att ta över uppdrag frigörs våra bemannade ubåtar för mer avancerade uppgifter. På sikt finns möjlighet att beväpna systemet med minor och torpeder vilket ytterligare höjer effekten. (2/3)
En demonstrator väntas vara klar 2026. Projektet visar hur Sverige genom samarbete mellan industri, myndigheter och akademi kan utveckla teknik i framkant. Att processen sker snabbt är avgörande nu när vi behöver öka vår militära förmåga. (3/3)

🇺🇦🇸🇪Today, Sweden presented its largest military support package to Ukraine to date, valued at almost $1.6 billion. The package includes, among other things, support for Ukraine’s air defence, artillery, satellite communications, and maritime capacity. (1/6) Image
The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has mapped the market’s ability to produce defence materiel with short delivery times of about 0-24 months. Sweden will in this package procure new equipment from the defence industry for about $912 million. (2/6)
Much of the international military support is goes through multilateral initiatives, coalitions within the Ukraine Defence Contact Group, and purchases from Ukrainian defence industries for donations. Sweden will donate about $465 million to these funds and initiatives. (3/6)

🇸🇪🇺🇦 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)
