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)
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)
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) 
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)
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)
Today, we have presented a proposal to parliament that Sweden should send up to 8 JAS Gripen to protect the airspace over NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU). They would act in a NATO air defence mission to protect mil and civ support to Ukraine. (2/5)
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)
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)
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)
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 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)
ASC 890 will provide 🇺🇦 with a new capability against both airborne and maritime targets. 🇺🇦 capability to identify targets at long range will be strengthened. They will act as a force multiplier with the introduction of F-16. AMRAAMs will also be donated. (2/6)
Sweden will also donate a substantial amount of HAWK air defence system components and ammunition. The value of the components and ammunition if purchased would be several hundred million euros. (2/7)
