Why is Sweden "likely get it's own F35-Fleet in the near future", when 39 Gripen excels over it in air to air combat, when Gripen is much cheaper and when Gripen is designed to counter Russia, when Gripen is made for the Nordic environment, and when it can land and take off at normal roads? Because they export so many Gripen that they will buy the American one? Finland and Norway already have F35 and are apart of the same air defense. So that Sweden won't continue to fill their role with JAS 39 Gripen doesn't make any sense.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the Military Industrial Complex here in America tries to get Sweden to buy some, just because our MIC is what REALLY runs things over here, and they are as greedy as hell itself.
Well, I could see the use of a small number of F-35 B VTOL planes. The mix of stealth and (when stealth isn't as important) a larger armament load a few could be useful.
But the problem is that American planes are mainly made to fit the American military doctrine which differs a lot from the Swedish military doctrine. Swedish planes not only needs to be able to land on highways, they also need to be quickly refueled and re-armed there and require as little service as possible.
So i don't see the Gripen getting replaced by the F-35, the way a Gripen attacks a target on the ground is different and require more experienced pilots (Swedish pilots stay in average 3 times as long as American pilots in the service before switching jobs to commercial flying, which makes them very capable but also a lot harder to replace).
Sweden have used foreign planes before but most of the planes have been Swedish produced since the late 30s and I don't think that will change. I do expect SAAB to start working on a more advanced plane somewhere in the next 10 years though.
To be honest would I rather have 20 F-22 then F-35 myself, while it can't land anywhere besides a large air base, the way it operates would fit better with how Swedish pilots use their planes. Sadly, US ain't selling any of those to anyone.
Another alternative would to buy a few KAI KF-21 Boramae from South Korea once they get into service, they seem on par with the F-22 with better electronics and would make a nice air superiority fighter. There is something to say about having a few specific planes for certain things, Gripen is still a bit of a Jack of all trades so it can be used for anything but at times a pure air superiority plane like the F-22 or the KF-21 are pretty nice to have.
The big Swedish investment from US seem to be HIMARs at the moment, not F-35.
@@michaelj.beglinjr.2804 Yes I would be surprised if they didnt try to presure Sweden into buying them xD
@@butterfliesandmoths The only pressure would be from a military perspective of wanting everyone to be reading from the same hymn sheet for practical reasons, in reality, Sweden can still do whatever it believes is best for itself. It could just as well say "thanks but no thanks, but we will work with you on the successor to the f-35", no one is coming to beat them with a stick until they buy American
Thank you for that analysis professor😂😂😂

If memory serves, Sweden took part in military exercises a few years back and their sub was able to sneak up on a Nimitz-class carrier.
It was the USS Ronald Reagan with the usual screen of destroyers and cruisers. The Gotland-class sub made multiple attack-runs but was never detected. This was in 2005.

And they cooperate with Finland. Trouble for Putin, indeed.
Sweden and Finland joining NATO are both fantastic additions, especially since their historic neutrality has forced them to stay far more prepared for conflict than many NATO member states. Too many member states have gotten complacent and compromised their ability to effectively defend themselves, let alone support their allies. Underestimating the enemies of NATO will cost us dearly. Better to be overwhelmingly prepared to defend, than be dragged into another war of attrition.
Don’t trust turkey or Hungary
True that, there's no "I" in team, but at more than one in selfish dictatorship. somehting that NATO has been infected by. No room for traitors in NATO, all for one and one for all or f off!
The video has good parts, but the part about the JAS 39 Gripen ("Griffin") is not one of them. First, Sweden has many more Gripens than what the video claims. Second, Sweden has no desire to replace the Gripen with the F35 since the Gripen is considered a superior platform. Third, the Gripen is built to be upgraded, so there there is no serious discussion about another platform either. What we do need is more of them, and with drone siblings.
Yes, Gripen is a part of the airdefence. Think of it as a piece of a puzzle. Any other fighterjets does not fit in the Swedish specialized airforce. And do multiply the production of Gripen, it's very popular these days.
Calling JAS 39 Gripen superior to the F 35 might be a bit over the top. Norway had a fair fight between the two planes, and the F35 came out on top. So superior it is not, for Norway at least. Maybe for Sweden it is.
Video has it's issues, true, but calling Grippen superior to F-35 is ... a bit dumb.
quanta voglia ha la Svezia di fare guerra alla Russia che non le ha mai fatto nulla?
Veramente gli svedesi hanno voglia di morire per niente?
Chi tira i fili di questa assurda russofobia sta a Londra e Washington, non a Stoccolma
@@hyp77 The difference between F35 and Gripen is that Gripen is built to confront Russian airplanes, F35 is built to confront all airplanes. And buying a fighter in 2024 is more then just the hardware, there is a lot of other things that is included or excluded.
SAAB's Viggen, Draken, and Grippen were/are badass and extremely capable aircraft in their time. We are lucky to have Sweden now in our military alliance. Fun fact: Kelly Johnson, designer of the Lockheed SR-71 and U-2, is of Swedish descent.
Correction, Sweden is not looking at F35 fighter! JAS39F follwed by a new fighter developer by SAAB.

Sweden and Finland are both modern, well developed countries, thoroughly aware of their security position in relation to Russia. They are now more secure than before and Russia's potential to threaten the three Baltic states is now greatly diminished. Yes, quantitatively Russia dominates but that in itself does not win wars as Ukraine skillfully shows.
UA can’t take back its land. Which was its condition for victory. UA has lost
Born in Denmark I am PISSED OFF that the country has not already ordered 10 Gotland submarines for its defense. Bornholm is the second most strategic island in the Baltic Sea and close to Kaliningrad. It should have been done already.

This was really informative for me. I didn't know about Sweden's strong and advanced submarine force. The Baltic is truly NATO's lake now and effectively negates Kaliningrad, one of only a few Russian military warm water ports. Welcome to NATO, Sweden! Thanks, Putin! You're doing a fantastic job of recruiting NATO members, keep up the good work!
Not only did Putin push two of the most russia-friendly western nations into NATO, but Russia is also the very reason why Sweden now has the most powerful subs in the Baltic sea and the strongest airforce in northern Europe: R has systematically violated Swedens territory, and the more they did so the more S strengthend it’s military. Russian logic in a nutshell…
@@holmavik6756 I just looked at the map of Sweden and noticed the Swedish island of Gotland located in the middle of the Baltic Sea. What a great strategic military location for Sweden and NATO.
@@holmavik6756I don't know what you are smoking. Finland and Sweden are about as russia friendly as israel is islamist friendly. These countries have not been neutral because they like russia. The reason was Finland was FORCED by Russia to stay neutral on terms set by Finland losing the continuation war with Russia at the end of WW2. Sweden decided to stay neutral as an act of solidarity with Finland. If Sweden would have joined NATO, it would have been likely that the USSR would have pressured or even by force broken Finland's independence. Make no mistake, both finns and swedes absolutely detest russia.
@@MattyOfPassion ok, Russia friendly” was perhaps a poorly chosen phrase
Sweden does not have only 30 Gripens. I believe the real number is 96 currently but with plans to increase this number. There are also no plans to get any F35s.
Russia PRETENDS it's a Naval power - but the Russian Navy hasn't won a battle since 1853. 🤣
The art of war changed. And this war wasn't about ships. The Ukraine (or better the camouflage of Ukraine) could just sink that ships due to western intelligence (where drones and planes flew over the sea without being shot down in a regular base) and western people who developed the plans and programm the system of storm shadows/drones (without fear being striked) and executed them. So Russia took the risk not to expand the war for a few ships.
FACTS
@felippe464 Russia has it, where it is needed to be. Why extend over the whole country - with a lot of intelligence from the west out there? Why endanger own piilots or modern systems for not relevant parts. Russians moving step by step and take the air supremacy step by step.
@@seufer12 FACT: Russia CAN'T expand the war. They can ONLY advance by sending in Meat Waves - Sacrificing THOUSANDS of soldiers for a few square meters..... (in FINE Russian Tradition) even though the Ukrainians are running out of ammo.

@@pagiboneWhy would they? They joined NATO for protection, meaning they are better prepared to defend than attack.
Correction Swedens next fighter jet will be 5th Gneration not 6th Gen also Sweden does not classify the Grippen or any of its aircraft by 'generation' which is just a daft American thing anyway.
Fun fact, it was Swedish Vikings that created what is now Russia and Ukraine. They came there for plunder and trade but ended up setting up a administration and ruling it for a long time.
Seems the Swedish and Finnish opinion wasn’t so much about article 5, but about the statement against Putin who doesn’t recognize a sovereign country’s, like Ukraine, right to self determination.
Where do you get your numbers from? Sweden got more than 100 gripen
Highly doubt Sweden will buy any F-35's. Saab is in all aspects integral part of the Swedish Defence, we will not spend money keeping a second fighter. There was and i guess still is the possibility that Gripen E is the last swedish made fighter, altough very recently was announced a project to look into a potential new fighter made by Saab. Also, considering we now surrounded by nations with F-35's it would make more sense to not put all eggs in one basket, innovation on the top level is hard but so far we fairing rather well, so why stop now?
My thoughts on Sweden joining NATO are going to be looked at as possibly self serving but who cares?! My family (Sundkvist) came from Sweden in 1910 and we still have family living in Sweden today! I am happy to see Sweden join NATO as they are a lot stronger and more prepared than most people think. This is a benefit to Sweden and NATO, when Putin stuck his finger to the world and tried to bully his way into stopping Ukraine from joining NATO he should have did more research into how NATO works and what happened after the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact collapsed. Literally every country in the old Warsaw Pact and a few old Soviet republics are now in NATO and his actions caused 2 countries who long remained neutral to join NATO as well. With the failure of the Russian army to take over Ukraine and the end of Putin’s war soon to be at hand one thing will happen, Ukraine will join NATO and as it looks you might even find Moldova and Belarus following that route. The problem in all this is that Putin is clinging to his desire to recreate the Soviet Union, but he should have done better management of his Army to know if they were capable of taking Ukraine in 3 weeks as he proclaimed in February 2022. I see something else happening possibly this year. When the Russian people and families find out the true death toll of estimated 450,000 Russian soldiers and that their children may never come home, there will be another Russian revolution causing Putin to be removed from power. Maybe this is why Alexei Navalny was killed in his IK-3 prison. Many of Putin’s rivals have met with suspicious deaths in the past few years, but there is no way he will escape-e the wrath of parents of those 450,000 dead Russian soldiers in a war Putin said would last 3 weeks and NO Russian soldier would be hurt.
Unfortunately we STILL do not spend anything near what we would need to considering we have all but dismantled our defence the last 20-25 years (hence not like Finland who were-again-smarter than us)
We should probably spend somewhere like 4% of GDP for a decade to rebuild our forces (time we might not have).Unfortunately our politicians prefer to spend money on other things which I think will turn out to be yet another massive mistake

Swedens defence budget is 2.2%/GDP but is probably increasing to 2.5% in the next defence policy decision in March 24'.
The Swedish subs managed to fake destroy a US aircraft carrier in some war games, which was very impressive. As an American I would never sell our NATO allies short in their capabilities. Everybody is bring some thing to the NATO table, and we are stronger together than apart. Different viewpoints and thought processes are needed for fluid and changing situations in the world, in order to not become stagnate and stuck to "this is what worked in the past, so this is what we will keep doing in the future", just like what the Russian MOD is doing in Ukraine.
Indeed, finding the best fit for the job first by judgement and then by trial and error, the diversity meaning you'll be more likely to have the right tool for the job rather than 'close enough', which leads to fewer casualties and faster operations... very much unlike Russia, and the addition of Finland and Sweden to the ranks with their own solutions makes it even more diverse.
if you actually had been paying attention Russia has learned a lot from the conflict in Ukraine and its the American Empire and its european vassal states which has not learned anything.
We keep sending stuff thats getting blown up and destroyed... And what do we do when they fail? We double down and send even more, hoping for a different result...
Gli USA sono bravissimi a fare le guerre con le vite degli altri...purtroppo lo schifo che fanno sta facendo aprire gli occhi a sempre più persone.
Its realy not impressive. Any time we do war games our troops are under orders to operate in a crippled status using rules and scenarios which put us on the back foot. The idea being to use each and every war game as a worst case training scenario. So, basically, every loss we ever have in those has never been "They overcame the US at it's best!" No, they overcame us while we're not allowed to use half of our normal shit.

Very well explained. Thanks,
Me as a former swedish person, Think that sweden should stay neutral
Can I ask those people who are in NATO countries. How do you feel about the people of Russia and, in principle, about Russia in general? And what do you live for Russia? And do you think Russia will be able to give a worthy rebuff to NATO if it attacks Russia, but I hope that this will never happen. [I myself am asking from Russia just for the sake of interest, I have nothing against the lives of NATO countries]
As Sweden is now a NATO country I guess I can answer. From Swedens perspective Russia has always been our ancestral enemy. Historically both countries attacked each other now and then but during the last 300 years or so it has mainly being Russia who attacked us. In principle we dont really mind most of the russian people but your country is constantly threatening its neighbours and now are openly invading independent democratic nations so yeah we dont like that at all. Also if you read up a bit on what NATO is then you will see that NATO is a defensive alliance that would only respond (as an alliance) to attacks initiated on its member states. NATO would never attack anyone first.

Kaliningrad has lost thousands in Ukraine
Great video :)
With 160 modern Gripen fighters Swedens airforce is top notch 👍🏻
Sweden is in a Strategic location in the Baltic sea, making it possible to blockade Russia from entering or leaving the Baltic sea. That was a big win for NATO when Sweden decided to join NATO. That would essentially leave Kalingrad stranded and cut off.
Königsberg (kaliningrad) tbh is should have been returned to Germany how the putin can keep it???
Finland/Sweden joining NATO is terrible news for putler since it locks in his enclave kaliningrad and russia has earlier tried itself on Finland that came at a high cost for the russians!
Germany is a social construct. The big loser of both world wars is in no position to demand anything
The Swedish-Norwegian war of 1814 was last war for Sweden but it can be worth noting it was part of the Napoleonic wars. Denmark had to give up Norway for supporting Napoleon, and was compensated with Western Pomerania. In order to screw the Swedes the Danish sent its crown prince to be elected king of Norway and get it back that way. This triggered the Swedes to invade Norway to stop the Danish which succeeded but the Norwegians also got self rule and its own constitution (Western Pomerania was later then taken over by Prussia which gave Denmark another area in Germany and monetary compensation to Sweden).
Europe does have a very convoluted and deep history, which is what way too many people over here, especially our politicians, keep forgetting.
Sweden and the US waged the Berbery war on Libya and Algeria between 1801 and continued for 20 years but at the end it was low intensity conflict so it’s a some what discussion on what swedens las war really was. Though the war on Libya and Algeria not talked about and very unknown.
@@erikempire318 It is an interesting conflict but Sweden did only participate 1800-1802, although the conflict was on to 1815, but 1815 is also when the Napoleonic wars ended. However yes, you can argue which one of these was the last war for Sweden.

Russia has always been the arch enemy of Sweden. However, the benefit of joining NATO is still depending that all nations of the alliance contribute and collaborate. Some weak spots are still around and the most troublesome is perhaps US that have issues on political level currently.

It does not change much. Finland and Sweden were de facto in NATO longer than Poland and other such countries. Just look at NATO/USA invasions, in many of those these two countries participated. It is no secret if Finland or Sweden were attacked by Russia before, NATO will intervene, after all NATO is very selective, as seen in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and on some degree in Ukraine. On the other hand it was inert in case of Cyprus and Armenia. So then joining NATO is just a formality.
Both Sweden and Finland have already since 2017 been full members of the North European JEF alliance (the Joint Expeditionary Force) whose members are "able and willing to act" without others (eg. non-JEF NATO members).

Sweden mil contractors aren't as dirty as US UK (CCP, RusFed) and they get double the bang for the buck, hence, 1% in Swede mil budget is as good as 2% in Anglo/American mil industry
I don't like Swedish submarines, they come in cardboard boxes, you have to assemble them yourself and the instructions are unclear at times :D
Sweden is not that likely joining the f35 program... The Gripen is specialized for operating in our nature and does not require the big infrastructure that the f35 does.... Also the F35 program seems to have big issues, only 29% of the planes manufactured seems to be fully capable..
The list of military powers (16.15) has a glaring mistake. The sixteenth is showing the New Zealand flag. New Zealand does not have an air force. Most likely they meant to show the Australian flag. This is a common mistake.
Their low level off spending comes from being Efficient unlike the US F-35 Program
You used the New Zealand flag to represent Australia in your Global Firepower index.
There is one slight flaw I’m looking at now that I have a map of Russia on my other app…
Russia could just, hypothetically, maneuver ABOVE the NATO Lake via the Arctic seas, or potentially trek through or above The Arctic itself.
That is potential strategy, but trying to move through Arctic would put Russia on direct confrontation with US, since they can access Arctic aswell via sea route.
I could only imagine if the stuff from that one game generation zero was in swedens army, theyd be pretty deadly

Nerd alert! And a bit of a nitpick but sweden has 120 tanks of the model strv122. Not 122 tanks. A small difference but still. It's a tank built on the leopard A2 chassis but with a bofors (swedish) 120 mm gun.
Although im not sure if the number of 120 is adjusted for the tanks sent to Ukraine, but im sure somebody else knows
finland is like 99% more prepared for conflict
After the invasion. Everyone can see that Russia is a paper Bear!
So now everyone dares to join NATO 😂
Thanks!
Russia threatening NATO is like a housecat threatening a tiger.
Kaliningrad is not an enclave of Russia. It is an exclave of the Russian Federation.
Tomato, tomato...
A distinction without a difference. 😊
