Sweden’s state and society have made a sharp turn in their defense policy following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

      It’s an island five hundred kilometers from the Russian border. That’s not really a safe place to put your aircraft in the drone age. Your supply ships will have to deal with some seababy type of naval drones and your airfield is vulnerable to all those shaed drones and rockets.

        On the other hand also the Russian aircraft and drones are only 500 km away, it work both ways.
