Thank you Commander Martin Moore for actually calling it Kingdom of Sweden instead of just Sweden.
Very good video and it looks like everyone had a useful and interesting experience.
Who cares?
@@MegaBanneseeing so many of these ‘who cares’ comments lately…what’s your problem? Seriously? This person posted, so clearly they care. The 88 likes as of this post, shows others care too. If you don’t care then why comment? Also clearly you cared enough to post here..
@@filipdahlberg4420
Because i think it is a dumb thing to care about.
A symbol of autocracy, which is what we fight against.
@@MegaBanne think that then, and let me think what I want. Autocracy requires a dictator, a powerless king is not a dictator
@@filipdahlberg4420
It just symbolizes the autocracy, like with the fasces, Z, and other fascistic symbols.
From a current conscript's view at A8, Boden: It was fun to have you guys over :)
Varför försvarar ni inte landets gräns i söder istället för att hålla på med detta trams?

Excellent production - that’s what we need for the adverts
Great that you lads came for a visit! /SWE
Welcome to Sweden lads !!
👍 🥶 😂 💙💛 💪
It´s always a treat to interact with British troops. They are after all the best. ❤ from Sweden.
I didn't think people from the UK could handle snow! 😂
Great work lads, I hope you had good fun.
Haven't you been to the UK? Of course they can handle the snow....they used to have really harsh winters until fairly recently, 2010 was the last time that they had blizzards and people were snowed in. 😂
@kevnwarriner8819 I lived in Germany in the late 00's. Back then, London would get a few hours of snow & it would shut down the whole city. It happened a few times, apparently costing billions of £ each time. Each time I was sitting in my far snowier German city with no issues. So I was being somewhat facetious & only really referring to London. Lots of the UK is ofc fine with snow.
Great footage
The archer awesome bit of kit that one
Nice work!
Welcome guys, good job!
Great video, more like this pls!
Crazy wow amazing
Awesome!
Cool vid!!
I love how honest the interviews are. "not all went well but it's better then expected" is not what you uselly hear in propaganda
ok this video is awesome
Wow Very Cool
Getting ready this is the sort of advert we need , however that naval officer needs to go check on his nuclear weapons.
Was going to say the same thing stuff you like to see not can I cry and stop the battle cos I’ve got a splinter.
I like the Makita LXT light strapped to the loading arm 😀
Archer looks good. So can we buy another 300 of them?
I'm sure that can be arranged at a cost of 1.35 billion US$. But you might get some discount.
UK can't afford them and even if it could it wouldn't have the men to us them
I believe the Archer is an interim solution for the British forces. UK donated some of their AS-90 to Ukraine and Sweden sold 14 Archers to UK to provide an artillery platform until UK can manufacture/buy another option.
@@KamiKaZantA Archer is the best of its type in the world. Only thing is that it's expensive
@@Truthbomb918 In the top for sure, but that doesn't change the fact that the UK is looking for another solution in the long term.
Come back soon 🇬🇧🇸🇪
Absolutely 💎 diamond ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Armies, like foot teams, exercise and maneuvers as important and powerful as weapons
THE SWEDISH ARCHER IS A BAD ASS 🇸🇪🇸🇪
“In the UK you get a few minutes if you get cold, over here you get 5” 😂 Typical Ranger, solid.
Hope they wherent out training here in north of sweden when its been -30 to -40. Super freaking bad winter this winter. Coldest in 25 years actually.
1999 minus 47 Celsius in Luleå colder in Boden
so coldest in 24 years?@@rexcarolus5874
its nice equipment but in pitiful quantities
Quantity is an ordering issue...
Imagen other countries being this honest in propagada.
They are bussie training trainers and training Ukrainians. When the time is right ordening big and training big crews could be done fast. Growing the instructeurs and officers is the slow bit
Welcome to northen Scandinavia and Finland for exercise! Its typical "rangers"/"jägarsoldater" area of combat, becuse of the harsch climate!
Its not that better in the summer, very few roads and a lof of rivers, lakes, bogs and swamps!
Its why we developed CV 9040 and Archer, there gonna be that few, so a 40 mm canon on CV90, to outmatch any other IFV!
And for Archer.. go as fast as posible on smal gravel roads, to suport our rangers/Jägare.. shoot and scoot!
Soo, is Archer the best artillery system ever.. no I dont think so, its special, kinda high technology artillery system, that higher echelong military comand can use for best effect kinda like Himars! If one only need artillery rounds, its much cheaper then himars rockets!
We enjoy training with British and Swedish friends in the Swiss Army. Freedom for Europe!
Your welcome! /Sweden 😊
Get with the CV90 program lads! 😁
sweden sure does know how to make good weapons.
British army is the best in all seasons 💪
Wasn't too good in Northern Ireland, sucked in Iraq and got its ass handed to it in Afghanistan
Yall should have gotten the CV90 instead.

Welcome to Sweden :)
frozen Beard..? , said no soldier ever in the British Army
XD, but seriously, if your beard gets wet and it is colder than -25 (which happens every winter in northern Sweden), it starts to freeze REALLY fast. And it draws body heat from you, so you need to be aware and not be sloppy about drying it out. Also, exhaling air is moist (hence the smoke when it freezes), and that can pile up too in your beard and mustache. 😁👍
Ranger regiment. Pah! You could have brought back the Green Jackets or another great regiment. I'm surprised they aren't sponsored by McDonald's. Archer is a great system, Ajax we shall see. Its great to see Sweden producing great kit. Somewhat saddening that the UK which is a great nation with huge potential is endlessly let down by its useless leaders.
Green jackets turned into The Rifles which in turn is now 4 Ranger 😂
The Ranger capability far outweighs conventional forces. The lads in those units are doing things we could only wish we had done (Ex GJ/4R)
While I agree that it's probably inspired by the famed American 75th, I would like to remind you that Britain not only had Rangers prior (namely during the Early Colonial and Late Victorian periods) and that the term "Ranger" came from the English Army, as well as the fact there are several famous English or British Rangers (Connaught, Rodger's, Burke's, Queen's to mention a few).
The Ranger Reg is based of the Green Berets, to train and advise foreign troops.@@alexion2001
@@JP-tk8nx Yes, been there, done that. 1984-1985. Was hell.We operatede for weeks in tempratures around 40-50 minus celcius Check out Norrlands Dragoner K4 Arvidsjaur. The snow mobile ordonance oparated by there self 19 yers old at night and day in that cold.
Just here to see all the equipment the MOD & Government will scrap in a couple weeks.
Sweden 🇸🇪👍💪👊
Fanjunkare?
Graden över översergeant!
I brittiska armén ja. Båda dessa grader är så vitt jag vet tagna ur bruk i försvarsmakten men de kan ju ha blivit återinförda. Inget jag hört något om, men iaf. Fanjunkarna gick ju i graven sent 70-tal (kommer inte ihåg årtalet men jag minns att det dracks gravöl på Offmässen på Melsten och det hölls griftetal för kustartilleriets tappra Fanjunkare🫡🇸🇪
Onya Guys Sla😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Go HCR
02:26... his name... that's just showing off, no-one can pronounce that lol :)
curious what does Sweden get out of this they get to learn Ajax acher and so on but what do swedish get in this ??? hope we got paid very very very well for this
So what he’s saying is you have to be a green jacket. A thinking soldier . Be a good infantry soldier . Nothing special there. I don’t think he sold it lol
You guys need drastically better funding... It's horrible what this government is trying to get away with
more gear shops tanks trucks guns equipment lazsrs on boats come on buy buy buy
MoD still trying to pretend the £ billions wasted on Ajax was a good investment it appears.
I got 5 on it am i 6th☆☆☆
Jo they stole this from Warthunder
Just a casual ice hole jump? Not fully geared with the skis on? Come on Swedes! You're tougher than that!
Us (Finns) and Norwegians just looking at shaking our head's in shame. ;)
I’m not sure that blokes on snow shoes waddling around a woodblock will worry Vlad.
Vlad is standing knees to hip deep snow when lads in snow shoes runs around Vlad like they stand still
After seeing how Vlad has performed in Ukraine, I think Vlad may be a bit worried. The whole world has seen just how average the Russian military equipment and personnel actually are.
Good luck trying to walk in deep snow without snow shoes or skies.
more gear stop retiring gear give another inventory built sticks out stock piles a joke, more drone more lazsrs more tanks more troops left left more rite better accommodation for staff, dmstop downgrading them
These videos are so outdated. We’d all rather watch the video without the crappy music in the background and a bit more of the raw footage uninterrupted.
Lol so funny how they try to make this so intimidating when a $500 drone can destroy it lol
How about you shave your beard off then mate?
Beards do help in that cold, even though they get a bit frosty.
Why does he need to shave? What's the issue with a beard?
Its in our blood not to because of the cold
British Army, lol, what a f*cking joke...
Dear Army, can we please just have more of everything shown in the video. (Also, remove the woke) Thank you.
Where’s the woke in the video?
@@lasakau272 it’s not an in the video issue it’s an in the actual forces issue.
@@DRUMNERDdefine it
@@sunnex474 maybe not letting in white males for pilot roles that’s a good place to start. I should hope you’ve been following the news closely.
@@sunnex474 I'll give it a shot in this context without looking it up.
"The unnecessary inclusion or highlighting of fringe social, political, racial or economic beliefs, talking points or theories into a piece of media in which it is not in keeping with the overall tone or intended purpose of the work, especially when said beliefs, talking points or theories are presented as objective facts despite evidence or proof of the contrary."
Off the top of my head that sounds about right.
Oh no spooky spooky im sure russia are shook in their boots
Are you being serious or sarcastic?
ur mam@@AtheticalYT
@@experimentationchris Grow up
Where are all the people of colour and women? Oy vey!
Because, they dont do the hard jobs.
Do you mean in the Swedish or Brittish army? There is one soldier of colour among the Brittish. To become a "fältjägare" in the Swedish army is one of the hardest positions to quality due to the extreme physical demands, most males fails and extremly few women succeeds to become it. There are very few people of colour in Sweden who are interested to become soldiers.
Pointless exercise, pointless war.
How is training pointless? Ensuring we’re well prepared for war is the militaries job
Yes. So just let Russia do what it wants??@@The-PenitentMan
We need chaos in order for peace to regain its natural holding…
If you botthered to do some research, you'd know that the protagonists around the world are the USA and its NATO allies. In a report to congress, the US military had conducted 251 military incursions against other countries in 30 years, this did not include black ops. People like you need to stop with your bone inference that it is Russia that is bad. And please don't point the Ukraine invasion - that needn't have happened if the USA were not supporting a far right regime and NATO wasn't expanding @@barrymcmanmon9595
How are the Commonwealth Soldiers finding the cold?
Always the push ones leading pulling the strings not fighting sounds about right
