What Does Sweden Bring to NATO?

Surprisingly, it's quite a bit

Despite being a peaceful nation with a relatively small population, Sweden boasts a robust arms industry, manufacturing weapons like the AT-4, Carl Gustav, and Bofors 40.

This is largely due to Sweden's historical position between Finland and Norway during the Cold War, necessitating a strong defense capability. By maintaining their own arms production, Sweden ensures self-reliance in defense, as demonstrated by their contributions to international missions like KFOR in Kosovo and training efforts in Iraq. Joining NATO, Sweden brings a well-equipped military, including a strong army, air force, and navy, as well as a unique Total Defense policy that emphasizes preparedness for conflict. The video also showcases various Swedish military patches, highlighting different units and their contributions. Viewers are encouraged to send patches if they're from Sweden.
