the Swedish armed Forces warn in a new study for the continuation of Russian armaments in the coming years in parallel with the progressive reduction in the Swedish defence. The conclusions of the defence analysis of the security situation up to 2035 is divided into large parts of the secretary of defense.

the armed Forces calls for long-term decision that improves the ability to identify and manage the increasing complexity of threats against Sweden.
“Defence in its entirety, not just the armed forces, the future must relate to both scheduled and hybridkrigföring in Sweden’s neighbourhood,” says rear admiral Jonas Haggren in a press release.
In a so-called perspektivstudie published on the defence forces website summarized Sweden’s position in four points. States that Russia’s military capability in the Baltic sea region is expected to increase after 2020. At the same time reducing the Swedish defence forces do not receive increased resources.
The military environment around the Baltic sea is also expected to change the character in terms of possible attack nature and extent of the armed forces states that Sweden will inevitably be affected by an armed conflict in the area.
“the Coming year’s work will be important, therefore, to enable long-term planning, while we continue to work to strengthen our ability in the here and now,” says Jonas Haggren.
the armed forces study includes the period after 2025, and ends up in the conclusion that it needed the “long-term decision on a major change of the armed forces ‘abilities”.
There are “a review of the military grundförsäkringspremie required to risk-taking in the period after 2025 will remain reasonable”, is called it in the study.
Another reasons for the uncertainty is, according to the armed Forces, the trend towards a more “nationalistic and protectionist approach of many european countries”, which can change the perception of international cooperation including in the field of defence.
the Same thing applies to the uncertainty surrounding the united states as the guarantor of european security and the uncertainty over AMERICA’s future security line.
“in Summary, this means that the threats will be harder to identify, more complex to manage and that the threat is becoming more multifaceted. The armed forces ‘ abilities need to be developed to solve the addressed data in the future operationsmiljön.”
to reduce the risk during the period required changes and developed abilities: “This can not be achieved within the current designated economic framework.”
defense Minister Peter Hultqvist (S) parts for major parts to the analysis in the study.
– Sweden must increase its military capabilities, ” he says to TT and points to the increased investment in weapons systems and exercises.
” I see in front of me that the military förmågeökningen must continue in the next food.
the Next year added a försvarsberedning and for Peter Hultqvist is the armed forces ‘ study, “one of the many surfaces that one can have the benefit of”.
