    I hear the Swedes have a whole lot more warfare tech that Ukraine will appreciate. Maybe not such a good trade by wannabe chessmaster pootin.

      Is say 80% of swedish really “Scandinavian” armed forces materials are built from the ground up for a very specific purpose (not the Danes, but add the Fins)

      To cause the maximum amount of harm in terms of $$$ and lives to the Russian armed forces should a war be unavoidable while minimizing the $$$ and loss of life on the Scandinavian side.

      The rest is for export strictly. Usually nasty stuff. Cluster bombs, rebranded Nato missiles etc.

      We have had 80 years of military theory and development figuring out specifically how to fight Russians. Talk to a finn about it. They’re entire conscription service is based on training to fight the Z should the need ever arise.

      Also sweden is the #1 weapons exporter per capita no?

      Nope, my bad it’s Isreal with Sweden @ # 2

      Don’t trust us when we talk about world peace and love lol.

      Sweden no longer exports cluster bombs since 2019!

      Hurra!
