Norwegians and Sweedish are maybe the only armies and nighbours in the world that can play or joke with each others like brothers in arms. Just like this.
I think the video is hilarious. It is wonderful to see our two navies having fun with each other. Very few countries in the world are as close in language and culture as we Scandinavians. While yes it is true there may still be some resentment towards each other, it is time to get over that. We are, whether we admit it or not, the same people. Ha det bra!
You and your country are doing a lot of good stuff. I LOVE Norway :D It is the best country in Europe if you ask me. Keep up the good work :D Love from Sweden.
+bobbisixkiller Når skal dere huleboere slutte med den primitive stammementaliteten? Idioter hater for fordi de ikke har liv. Norge, Danmark, Island og Sverige sverige burde gått i union sammen siden vi deler samme kultur og samfunnsordning.
+planesrift thats fucking bull shit.. what rock have you been living under? u probably talking about the 1900 "war" between Norway and Sweden when there was a 1000 people on each side and then the commanders said that those who wanted leave could do so and then no man left the battlefield... and they did not even start to fight each other cause they looked at each other like brother witch we (Norwegians and Swedish) have done the last 2000 years as we basicly are the same people (vikings)
Glad there aren't many of your type here in Norway. I like the Swedes :) I love the humor in this video too, and the Norwegians would be just the sort of people to not be too self-important to laugh at this ;) I know I did!
@mrgeorgeallison I question the kpmg research. How did they measure? It’s in the end all about method. A study can give whatever results you want depending on factors. How correctly did the freelancer in NYT interpret this report? Houses in Oslo are very cheap compared to houses in London, but goods like beer is very expensive over here. People consume different baskets of goods in different countries.
Hi there, seems like someone slept in class :O Could you please provide me with a source for GB being a part of Scandinavia? I know that NO, SE and DK was the definition of Scandinavia, did GB join us this year? Thanks for sharing the vid btw :)
If for example Russia did this it would be a deadly provocation, and so called serious politicians that claim to be working for the best for everybody would escalate this to thermonuclear war instead of accepting it for what it is; a bunch of people having a bit of harmless fun that does not hurt anybody.
Naaah the most important reason they fall backwards is the mask cowering the eyes-face! by jumping feet first ore forwards it would fall off and or be filled with water.
Hi, here in Guatemala, the embassy of Sweden and Norway offers good scholarships, so I am planning to apply next year. I like ships and naval architecture, and I've heard good stuff about scandinavians ships, especially the Norwegian ones. Thanks for the answer, hope to visit your country soon sometime. :D
@borgunvaag The quality issues with the nansen class has been sorted out for a long time ago, and the facts behund the issue is the spanions didnt make the hull strong enough for artic conditions. So the ships had to be strenghten, and thats sorted out. At first they made some problems regarding this, but as i said, the problem is resolved. Its a shame though, that we didnt choose the norwegian built alternative, like before. But the navy wanted AEGIS, and it was cheaper than a norwegian alt.
I'm definitely for a Nordic union except we somehow need to have Swedish politicians stay out of things and preferably revert Sweden to a previous state. We could also invite Estonia and if needed all the Baltic states + Poland + Ukraine and then we'd finally get a bunch of sane people against the retarded Swedish politicians and more of a safety in political outcome there ;D Also no need for EU or NATO.
Norway is at 5th place in biggest navy , here im talking about Intustrial ships , ship building , offshore rigging and overall transport , the Military Marine is fairly large.
the norwegian marine has : 70 vessels, including 5 heavy frigates, 6 submarines, 14 patrol boats, 4 minesweepers, 4 minehunters, 1 mine detection vessel, 4 support vessels and 2 training vessels.
The people fighting in this comment section on which country is the best (Norway vs Sweden) They are all just complete fools and do not deserve to live in these 2 great nations. Sweden and Norway have high respect and brotherly love for eachother as shown in this video. Stop fighting over this complete bullshit as it is absolutely meaningless. Congratz btw you just missed the entire point of the video. I have always loved Norway as a Swede and will always do until the day i die. Same goes for Finland. Long live the north. -Current soldier in "Försvarsmakten" aka the Swedish military in Sweden. Happy times to yall.
@evilblades Som F16 har hatt i Norsk tjeneste? Isåfall sier det ikke så mye.. Jeg forutsetter også at Norge faktisk skal kjøpe nye jagerfly, og at det står mellom JSF og Svenske fly. Det er vel heller ikke uvanlig at nye høyteknologiske produkter har problemer i startfasen.
Neighbourly fun between two good friends (brothers). On a more serious note: Sweden really wimped out in WW2. They not only refused to fight. But they let the Germans pass through their country to attack Norway from several positions. That was not brotherly. Norwegians fought four their lives in WW2 and gave the Germans a good fight. Danes too chickened out and refused to fight for their country. I'm surprised this is forgotten... Wimps.
Maybe you should take a few history lessons before you start spouting untruths. Norway only fought because they were attacked and their country was defensible due to its mountainous terrain. Sweden was not attacked and Denmark is too flat to defend against a superior enemy. On the morning of the 9th of April 1940, the German invasion fleet was already in the Oslofjord. Not a single German soldier crossed Swedish territory during that invasion.
You clearly don´t know history, Sweden forced Norway in to a Union in 1814 and the Union dissolved in 1905 in peaceful negotiations, everyone know that Norway would not be able to win a war against Sweden in 1905. This is why the Nobel peace prize is handed out in Norway instead of Sweden because of the peaceful outcome.
Germany wanted to send troops through sweden during the invasion, but sweden refused. Neither weapons nor ammo crossed into norway before the surrender. After the surrender germany asked again, and sweden allowed these transfers. During the invasion, only food, medicine and civilian personnel were transported through sweden. There was one exception, where something like 10 soldiers posing as medics were transferred. They were unarmed. You should thank the germans and the swedes. They went to the trouble of sending military supplies and reinforcements through finland instead. Imagine that detour. The finnish gladly accepted german help since they were under attack by the soviet union at the time. Swedes also provided volounteer support to finland. Sweden was neutral during the war, and could not do much else without risking getting dragged into the war, and without sweden there would have been no safe haven for refugees. We are paying for that now. Thanks to the germans, you do not have nearly the same problems.
Sweden and Norway same people different countries. Norway was a part of Sweden tough, I like Norway beautiful county and rich as shit and a nice language. But will always be Swedens little brother. If Sweden would of recognized the value of Norway back then Sweden would of prosper. But back then Norway was a useless country that no one wanted lol. Swedish fail.
If it hadn't been for those damn unions Norway would have been the biggest country in Scandinavia :( We were just too few back then.. Did you know that 1/8 of todays Sweden actually belonged to Sweden but were given to Sweden by Denmark? :P And Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland and major sea areas of Denmark and Sweden actually belonged to Norway too? But we can't stay mad at our brothers. :)
***** We were given to Sweden by the other Europians from Denmark, Sweden never owned it, it was an union until Norway got their own king.. The real royal familie of Norway from the viking age were killed long before this.. And what made Norway independent was that they found themselves a king, so why would Norway thank Sweden?
@richter75 I apologise, I had ignored the ammunition aspect. Also may I ask, how on Earth is per capita important in this field? I have noticed many people from smaller nations use 'per capita' as their lower populations drive the value up. Largest arms exporter by capita is a meaningless title. Just like military spending per capita. Per capita is HEAVILY skewed by population. My point is just... "per capita Norway is the worlds largest arms exporter." is meaningless.
That article is so unserious. Yes, we bring our food to work just like we walk in the woods with rucksacks just for the walk; it’s all a part of the Norwegian culture.
1.37....the swedish soldier says: "shit that was close!!! I am sure thats under a half meter.". Norway and Sweden...brothers...but remember ...Sweden do not support Norway during the second world war..
And Norwegian military didnt help Finland during the cold war so dont act like you have a clean sheet when it comes to helping other brother nations in war. and + Norway stayed neutral untill they got attacked by the Germans, im sure that Norway would have done the same thing to Sweden if the nazis attacked Sweden instead of Norway.
Paul You obviously do not do your research, sorry snowflake but facts are more valued than feelings. Sweden cracked the German code (Radio code) and could listen to what they said, when talking about the invasion Sweden then warned Norway. They also had 3000 Volunteering Soldiers help fend against the Germans.
Large navis aren't a necessity for a country to function and have a high standard of living. For nordic, and quite frankly most european countries, NATO negates the need for large militaries due to the fact pretty much all aggression towards the alliance is deterred. For Norway and Sweden, a small navy is all that is required for border security, anything much larger would be a bit of a waste of resources.
@LundaGrabben3: You could never be sure of anything, but during studies of the bullet whole in his scull etc several historians have concluded he was shot by a cannon loaded with "Drue skudd"...dont know the english word, but the cannon was filled with evrything from spikes to bullets and so on, to make an old fashion shotgun. The distance would also be correct and so on. Hide in our fortresses? Sweden has several fortresses too, what do you think they were made for?
@Gillefull Actually Denmark was the first to do that. Norway, come from the trading rute along the western coastline of Norway, meaning the north way. At the end of the 800 century Harald Hårfagre started to consolidate the lands in western norway, or the north way. Several hundred years later, the land we today call Norway was consolidated.
Naval combat isn't either what it used to be, but I can assure you that Norway wouldn't be able to withstand attack from what would be considered potential enemies.
Actually, GB is a part of Scandinavia too. Just a small FYI ;) That aside; I love how Norway & Sweden always have this healthy competition and "fighting" over every little thing, it's almost a form of sibling rivalry. xD -Chuckles from Norway =3
Hi! =)Hello! I'm from Norway. Norwegian vessels are often smaller than the Swedish, as we have tougher sea along the coast of Norway. Norway and Sweden are allies, and partners much politically and militarily. When it comes to schools universities and colleges, so I do not actually know. =)
I'm not saying it would be a needed addition to the already existing export... but it sure would have been an nice addition... It's amazing how much more income you could get if you controlled almost the entire scandinavian shoreline.
@objectivepac Also, the King in Norway was not scared of the nobility as Kings could be in other countries, since in Norway the nobility did not have large fortresses with a big army. In Norway the only military they had was controlled by the king and was called: The laidangen. Which was basically farmers around Norway which have to (in war times) go out of their houses, get some weapons and fight for the king. When the black plague came and killed around the 50% or the norwegian population
@mx6dk And the reason for Norway owning the oilfields today is because of the international agreements countries have signed. Norway's borders were however much like it is today back when Norway was its own country before the kalmarunion, except the land between Norway and Sweden. Also Norway had many large islands around England and Iceland under them, also including Greenland, which the danes got after making Norway a province.
@mrgeorgeallison I think we are talking about personal disposable income. Lets say you have 80000$ in disposable income in the US. You have to spend a huge amount of this money on health insurance unlike in Norway where the government pays the insurance “thanks” to the high tax cap. So 80000$ here is not the same as 80000$ there that’s why it would be interesting to see how much the average Norwegian gets of different goods like those I mentioned in a earlier post or is that what dis inc shows?
Norway's military vessels may be of smaller size, but size does not matter nowadays like in ww2 and before. Norway's ships are extremely technically advanced fast and equipped with state of the art weaponry that can give a heavy punch. Basically made to defend Norwegian waters. Also a think some are stealth as well, giving a huge advantage in defending from invasions as we would rule the sea and can ambush anything trying to attack.
@richter75 I am not arguing about the paradox, just the use of per capita statistics to measure something like arms exports, there is no value in doing that as the per head figures are irrelevant overall.
I was born and raised in Sweden to Swedish parents with a Swedish heritage dating back as long as there has been a documentation of Swedish people. I NOW live in Canada cause I married a Canadian woman. So much for that little tantrum of yours. Sweden rules.
@objectivepac such as, help with financial problems or give advice and such. This was the only way they could get land or anything from the king. So the nobility in Norway were very poor compared to their counterparts in Europe. Which also did not help is that, in most of Norway they had farming issues. because of the mountains, they could not have vast fields of farms. It was only in east Norway which was flat enough for that, while the nobility in the other countries had more land to controll.
Sweden and finland have become the two strongest rivals in scandinavia. Its funny when you argue to someone at work or school about whos the best country at sports.
Norwegians and Sweedish are maybe the only armies and nighbours in the world that can play or joke with each others like brothers in arms. Just like this.
Dangerous but you're right.
+Sob Sa brother nations, we would never hurt each other in the modern days.
+Sob Sa Kinda same thing with all Scandinavian countries :D
I had so much pleasure with Fabodjentan, I love my neighbours
wheres laeffy
There are no better neighbors than the Norwegian. Love from Sweden
NZ's pretty good too...
This really just shows how much we are like siblings. We wouldn't ever kill eachother but we sure would use a watergun.
Brotherly love

Nest after Sweden 😊of course
Call in NATO! Sweden has clearly fired upon Norwegian NATO soldiers with water cannons! Time to blow some dust from the Super Soakers and respond.
its the other way around mate
nope the swedes are the ones using the water hose, this is filmed from a swedish navy ship.
I can't remember writing that :/
dont comment when you are drunk :)
lol
Real cool vid. Served with the Swedes for a week while i was in the Norwegian bataljon in South Lebanon, nice guys with pro attitude. Thumbs up.
Some swedish and norwegian people hate each other... I don't know why. I am norwegian, and I think Sweden is fucking amazing. Vikings ftw!
Vikings are from Norweigan too -.-
Huh? Wtf are you saying
Uhm what
I agree i am from norway but i like sweden, they way better prices snd candy XD
Im a half danish-half norwegian, I know these are the same actually :P I just want to say that jeg elsker kære Sverige også!

😂🥰
it wasnt like this like a hundred years ago. they used to hate each others.
planesrift when they used to hate each other?
+YONIF97 MADE IN ISRAEL We still hate the Swedes!

Det är väldigt roligt att se dessa sällsynta ögonblick med humor i allvaret som flottan gör!!:)
Lite skoj då och då, kul! (Y)
Greetings to Norway from your big brother. We love you.
🇳🇴❤️🇸🇪
You mean big sister, don't you?
Hahaha, Love from Scotland :)
i love norway
Norge och Sverige
we are brothers practicly, Love and butter from sweden!!
You know, I've always thought that if so many different nations didn't waste time hating each other, we'd play a lot better games...
love how friendly we are to each other =D
Hahaha Marine drive-by !
That was crazy close :O
It took me almost half an hour to find this video again🤣 hallå från Skåne🇸🇪 undrar vad danskarna hade tyckt om samma sak hände dom?😅
I just want to say that i am swedish and I love Norway, we are like brothers sure we fight sometimes but we still love eachother!
@StLucifer85 yeah? And the jas 39 gripen kills the killing machine. Which one is the better killer?
Good vid, nice to see them having a laugh
Glad there aren't many of your type here in Norway. I like the Swedes :) I love the humor in this video too, and the Norwegians would be just the sort of people to not be too self-important to laugh at this ;) I know I did!
I love this! True fun scandinavian love to eachother.
@mrgeorgeallison I question the kpmg research. How did they measure? It’s in the end all about method. A study can give whatever results you want depending on factors.

Maybe it was a race? in that case Norway FTW
@Sonny0612 du kan väl iallafall lära dig satsmeningar och vart man sätter punkt?
how is that passing boat norwegian. it say's UN on the front of it?
I was expecting a mooning
LMAO THAT WAS A TYPICAL ACT FROM THE SWEDES
Nickfan korven the Swedes are filming it was Norway driving close 👊👍
@MrYockwar i dont see UN when do you see it?
Great to se them have fun together ;) / from Sweden.
If for example Russia did this it would be a deadly provocation, and so called serious politicians that claim to be working for the best for everybody would escalate this to thermonuclear war instead of accepting it for what it is; a bunch of people having a bit of harmless fun that does not hurt anybody.
Why do scuba divers always fall backwards out of boats?
It's because if they fell forwards, they'd still be in the boat.
Naaah the most important reason they fall backwards is the mask cowering the eyes-face!
by jumping feet first ore forwards it would fall off and or be filled with water.
Hi, here in Guatemala, the embassy of Sweden and Norway offers good scholarships, so I am planning to apply next year. I like ships and naval architecture, and I've heard good stuff about scandinavians ships, especially the Norwegian ones. Thanks for the answer, hope to visit your country soon sometime. :D
@borgunvaag The quality issues with the nansen class has been sorted out for a long time ago, and the facts behund the issue is the spanions didnt make the hull strong enough for artic conditions. So the ships had to be strenghten, and thats sorted out. At first they made some problems regarding this, but as i said, the problem is resolved. Its a shame though, that we didnt choose the norwegian built alternative, like before. But the navy wanted AEGIS, and it was cheaper than a norwegian alt.
Love you sweden. Lets unite
fredrik2k3k no
I'm definitely for a Nordic union except we somehow need to have Swedish politicians stay out of things and preferably revert Sweden to a previous state. We could also invite Estonia and if needed all the Baltic states + Poland + Ukraine and then we'd finally get a bunch of sane people against the retarded Swedish politicians and more of a safety in political outcome there ;D
Also no need for EU or NATO.
@ haha true
The swedes are the best neighbours ever!
Norway is at 5th place in biggest navy , here im talking about Intustrial ships , ship building , offshore rigging and overall transport , the Military Marine is fairly large.

Are you quarrelling?
Please do not fight. (>_
Brothers will always quarrel - it's just good fun.
skip to 1:06 -_-
what is it in Sweeden that norway wants?
@qaiex It's numbers up to a point, you can't expect to take on a large modern navy with a few small warships, tactics can only do so much you know.

Stupid question, but why where they in Lebanon?
I don't know can't tell how are Norway and Sweden different besides their governments and country names?
Depends on what you mean by potential enemies ofc.

@LundaGrabben3: You could never be sure of anything, but during studies of the bullet whole in his scull etc several historians have concluded he was shot by a cannon loaded with "Drue skudd"...dont know the english word, but the cannon was filled with evrything from spikes to bullets and so on, to make an old fashion shotgun.

Hi! =)Hello! I'm from Norway.
Norwegian vessels are often smaller than the Swedish, as we have tougher sea along the coast of Norway. Norway and Sweden are allies, and partners much politically and militarily.
When it comes to schools universities and colleges, so I do not actually know. =)
I'm not saying it would be a needed addition to the already existing export... but it sure would have been an nice addition...
It's amazing how much more income you could get if you controlled almost the entire scandinavian shoreline.
That was some good steering!
Haha. Jeeez, that was close :D
@objectivepac Also, the King in Norway was not scared of the nobility as Kings could be in other countries, since in Norway the nobility did not have large fortresses with a big army.

of course!
Norway's military vessels may be of smaller size, but size does not matter nowadays like in ww2 and before. Norway's ships are extremely technically advanced fast and equipped with state of the art weaponry that can give a heavy punch. Basically made to defend Norwegian waters. Also a think some are stealth as well, giving a huge advantage in defending from invasions as we would rule the sea and can ambush anything trying to attack.
hehe gøy! godt å ha dere som storebror! Hilsen en jeger fra Norge
I wish most country's in the world would have have the same brother love
@jpastuch correction, just visit Norway and you will get everything those other contrys have to offer just with no bad sides
@richter75 I also feel I should point out the SIPRI figures are more up to date and comprehensive than the 2005 UN figures.
Also a BB would basically be just a bigger and slower target for the Norwegian navy, so I don't see the problem.
hahaha...jævlig bra video :) Fy faen så nærme de var, 1 meter?
@richter75 I am not arguing about the paradox, just the use of per capita statistics to measure something like arms exports, there is no value in doing that as the per head figures are irrelevant overall.
What about finland..?
I don't want you to leave, you're the only good guys around here :(
Can Holland Join?
Top Navy "fly by"?
I was born and raised in Sweden to Swedish parents with a Swedish heritage dating back as long as there has been a documentation of Swedish people.
I NOW live in Canada cause I married a Canadian woman. So much for that little tantrum of yours.
Sweden rules.
@objectivepac such as, help with financial problems or give advice and such. This was the only way they could get land or anything from the king. So the nobility in Norway were very poor compared to their counterparts in Europe. Which also did not help is that, in most of Norway they had farming issues. because of the mountains, they could not have vast fields of farms. It was only in east Norway which was flat enough for that, while the nobility in the other countries had more land to controll.
Sweden and finland have become the two strongest rivals in scandinavia. Its funny when you argue to someone at work or school about whos the best country at sports.
@StLucifer85 The boxer is probably the better? Doesnt change the fact that the JAS is better than the MIG
