Sweden has moved closer to joining the NATO alliance after the US Senate overwhelmingly approved its bid on August 3. With Sweden’s membership, NATO is set to gain an advantage over Russia as it will get access to Stockholm’s superior and high-tech military. Sweden has a laudable military industrial base that has produced weapons systems that are popular on the export market. For NATO, Sweden is a huge boost as the Nordic country can build impressive submarines that can take on any navy. The future deployment of Sweden's more advanced Blekinge submarine in the Baltic Sea is expected to complicate Russian anti-submarine warfare.

    Great technology and super stealth. A great investment in the security of the Swedish people.........and the world. Thanks, for all the dedication and hard work Sweden!!
  • As a German, I am ashamed of my government and of about 38% of Germans who reject arms deliveries to the Ukraine or only deliver shamefully small quantities as an alibi, so to speak. Spain wanted to give 50 Leopard 2 to the Ukraine. Chancellor Scholz did not allow it. Many Ukrainians are dying in this war for democracy and freedom, also for the Germans.
  • Theres the reason why Putin's Russia have fears Sweden Submarine as such Sweden Diesel Sub GOTLAND Class because it is already tested . Now Blikieng Class Diesel Sub

    You know CRUX? If you just said the person's name instead of..."expert", "analysts" and "industry leaders". We might like you more. Russians will like this one.... Stop using the word "CLAIM". If you don't know if it is a fact or not...go find out! If you can't find out... don't say anything. This is how journalism works.
  • Out of all the Navy's powers around the world Sweden's would be the one I would least want to go against in War.
  • @pjain9248
    SAAB group offers dz submarine to India but due to MOD tightened rules dey abstain from p75i project
  • Great respect for the Swedish forces, and they shall no doubt be an incredible defending force to, and for all the Nato Alliance, and the free nations of the world. Welcome to Nato, you're a worthy partner in freedom, and democracy. 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Glory to God, Victory for Ukraine, Rise Free Nations!
  • The Swedes also build advanced fighter aircraft and tanks. They are a smart, well educated and inventive people. As are many of the EU peoples. And now, due to his demonstration of Russian Barbarism, they are all rapidly increasing their Military budgets. Does Putin, whose entire forces have been shown to be mainly shambolic, really want to take NATO and all it's Allies on? All Russia's brightest and best have left, been killed or are leaving, whereas all of Europe/NATO is now energised and focussed.
  • @Brewer420
    Grand strategist Putin literally doubled the size of NATO nations at his boarder lol
  • @michaelvm2404
    I'm just waiting for the typical expected speech that some of our european leaders (especially those who are not helping Ukraine or allowing more military equipment to be delivered) will give in a near future saying: "We were wrong, we should have stopped Putin a lot sooner in Ukraine when we had the chance".
  • It's one of the quietest if not the quietest submarines in the world.....
  • Last war games where Sweden participate with NATO countries Sweden sub sunk a USA Carrier and run undetected, so if USA cant detected Russia for sure cant.Those subs are deadly silent.
  • @g4m3r222
    everyone can be useful against Russia
  • @aA-ye1cf
    This is a simply awesome bit of kit. It could probably silently navigate right up to pootin and torpedo a supository right up him. russia has nothing on this brilliant and world beating submarine. Well done Sweden! Slava Ukraine
