Ei ole kovin viisasta alkaa valmistautumaan sotaan vasta sitten, kun vihollinen hyökkää. Meillä Suomessa on yleensä valmistauduttu ajoissa etukäteen pahoihin asioihin, kuten talvipakkaseen. Ne, jotka eivät ole valmistautuneet, paleltuvat. Det är inte särskilt klokt att börja förbereda sig för krig först efter fiendens attacker. I Finland brukar vi förbereda oss i god tid för dåliga saker, som vinterfrost. De som inte är förberedda kommer att frysa.

Crazy

For Sweden's military equipment so would credit having few limits in what type of design to use selecting what works best instead of what everyone else is doing.

For Sweden three top military equipment I would include the stealth Visby Corvette, the stealth Gotland submarine and also improved MBT 122 from Leopard 2 chassis! All three top of the line in their respective fields! The one you choose are equally good!

Come on.. You can't forget that Denmark have always been the lubrication of the Nordic Military might with their Carlsberg Beer... So they for sure have and always will be important militarily within the Nordic Countries. Iceland 🇮🇸? They are also important... If we need them they will come to help us out in their Viking Ships and their nasty and quality Ulfberht swords ⚔... We have tried to make them use modern weaponry, but they say they don't need them and we belive them... So next time you can't forget our Icelandic Vikings...

You forgot one very capable and mean Finnish military equipment. That's an angry, but calm and collective Finnish soldier..... It's very easy to believe that it's a ghost your fighting, because every single one of us is as pale and elusive....ask them that was unfortunate enough to meet the gentleman with call name "White Death" Simo "Blyat" Häyhä during WW2.

The Nordic countries do not need to import oil either, because we are self sustained because of our beloved Norwegian brothers and sisters... We Northern countries also have too beautiful women in the military, that if someone would be stupid enough to attack us... They would rather start "jerking liquid explosions" than start shooting full metal jacket rounds... 💪🙏

As a swede, I'm most proud of our subs and there quite Stirling engine....

What about Swedens submarin?

Very nice roundup. In the case of Denmark consider Sitaware which is probably the worlds most widespread software to create real time situational awareness in large military organisations used by over 50 countries including the US, Great Britain and Germany. Another contender is the Heidrun UAV from Sky-Watch has proved to be extremely robust in the Ukraine war being able to penetrate undetected into enemy territory and gather real time intelligence.

Honourable mentions are also Sweden's submarines and Corvettes.

Sweden really does build some badass stuff.. apart from the ones listed in the video, some other noteable candidates that I can think of are: Visby class corvette Gotland (and soon Blekinge) class submarines RBS15 anti-ship missile Carl Gustaf recoilless anti-tank rifle RBS70 MANPAD and some joint projects: Taurus cruise missile (joint swedish/german) Excalibur gps guided artillery round (swedish/american) Bonus artillery round (swedish/french) GLSDB Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomg (swedish/american) The US new T7 Red Hawk trainer aircraft (swedish american)

A. All of the Nordics are highly industrialized. B. And more importantly. All of the products that are made, are of the highest quality. Not just the military equipment. And here in Finland it is an honour to make a quality product. So it must be the same in all of Nordic Countries.

Suomi selvisi natsi-Saksan avulla viime sodasta. Ja petti heidän, kuten Suomi pettää kaikki. Viimeksi oli U.S.S.R. paras kaveri, Putin kolme vuotta sitten. Nyt haettiin Natosta apua, kun Venäjä aloitti sodan. Suomen "reservit" ovat kymmeniä vuosia sitten armeijan käyneitä alkoholisteja. Kävin armeijan 33vuotta sitten, sen jälkeen en ole ollut metsässä. Mitään käsitystä ei ole aseista. Älkää uskoko tätä propagandaa, Suomelle tulee muutaman vuoden päästä 64 hävittäjää,wow!! Suomalaiset ovat pehmeitä, mies ja nainen sama asia, Gayland. Tämä oli pelkkää propagandaa, älkää olko tyhmiä, ja luulko että 1360 km raja Venäjää vastaan on Suomen suojaama. Suomi tekee diilin Putinin kanssa, kuten on tehnyt ensin Hitlerin, sitten Stalinin kanssa!!! Opetelkaa historiaa!!! Suomi pettää aina, allways!!!!

Poland knows what it means whats happened in ukraine. They prepare itself for mad russians

No wonder I've not heard of any Danish military equipment, while Swedish stuff is praised all over the place.

There are NO battleships in service, the correct term is warship.

Good video, showing what these small Nordic Countries have accomplished and they have even more such as the Gotland submarine, another world class system

It's because the people of the north are simply the best!!!

Vackert!

Sweden is no1 weapon export per capita? Sweden has so much regulation and politics to who they are even allowed to sell to. Also Sweden has to be no1 inventor per capita, almost all product is up in the absolute top in every category what so ever. Pretty good for a country with that small population and regulated to who they are allowed to sell to.

Initially I can't understand why the Gotland class subs weren't included in your list. But on second thought I understand why. Theese subs are world class as attack subs in the Baltic but maybe of less interest to a world-wide audience. But there are other theaters similar to the Baltic?

Thank you for this rare overview of Nordic equipment and technology. I think it is valid to compare and look at the combined efforts as the Nordic is a combined European powerhouse by any metrics now. I would add that Norway and Sweden (and Finland) have some less obvious specialities such as battlefield management and control systems and electronic surveillance and warfare systems. Norway (backed by and on behalf of NATO), Sweden and Finland have in practice run three independent (in theory) surveillance, SIGINT, HUMINT (etc.) both for the air, sea surface, subsurface and land components since the 1950s, and to think about these capacities combined (as they gradually have become over the past decade+) is truly something to ponder long before we think about a combined Nordic air force around 2030 of some 143 F-35 and 60 Gripen E. That is not a small joint fighting airforce outside superpowers. Combine the air surveillance aircraft, transporters, electronic warfare aircraft, and air tankers on hand combined... In addition, some little-known companies provide some very secret stuff, especially for the naval sector. In Norway, this includes highly sensitive side-scanning sonars, multi-beam sonars, omnidirectional sonars, subsurface High Precision Acoustic Positioning (HiPAP) systems, doppler systems, towed arrays and the design of extremely quiet hulls and propellers for surface vessels and submarines. (None of this is peculiar since getting offshore data and mapping sub-seafloor hydrocarbons, having passive sonar systems good enough to count the number of herring, cod and other fish swimming in schools (really!) or even mapping the biomass of zooplankton in the open ocean in the civilian world obviously have cross-over potential to track "other stuff" with minimal "disturbance"). This is overlaid by Swedish/Norwegian (often co-developed) distributed sensor-fusion systems with integrated targeting/launch systems being alive and kicking well before the F-35 made the idea a household concept feeding back to battlefield management systems on what to launch (from where) against different objects through some pretty solid encryption solutions (Think: What is going inside the JAS Gripen, F-35s, our Frigates, Corvettes, Missile Boats, NASAAMS, submarines or inside the CV90s, Leopards, Patrias, AMOS or from small "Jæger-teams" with their mark 1 stereoscopic eyeball and interesting "i-pads" (etc) to ensure shared information from all the sensors on "everything, everywhere, all at once". This was always a Nordic strength before we recently started using the same com-protocols and link systems. In a way, these things are as "interesting" as the things going "boom". It is certainly correct to point out Sweden and Finland's "space/com tech". This is an area where awesome developments have been made, something neither Norway nor Denmark needed to bother with as much in R&D, being nested into the common NATO systems for the past 75 years - and this underscores the future after Finland and Sweden joined: National strengths are often highly complementary between the Nordics due to our allied/non-aligned history. There has been much ongoing soft transition over the past 2+ decades Finland and Sweden got NATO systems like link-16 etc. Norway and Finland have now co-owned NAMMO for over 2 decades, doing things like developing the nextgen ram-jet assisted 155mm artillery precision shell with 150 km range. Kongsberg, SAAB/Bofors etc have cooperated for as long on R&D. Finland and Norway are setting up a common service and maintenance system for the new artillery (together with Poland), and a new production, maintenance and service centre for the Leopard 2 (used by us all) is being set up. This year, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway will adopt the new combat uniform, with the national camouflage patterns, shape of distinctions and the flag colours on the shoulder are the only differentiating items that separate us. This leads me to name two ships that even "Norwegians with interest" might not be fully aware of: "Marjata" (IV) and "Eger". By looking at them, you instantly recognize that both ships must have superior satellite TV reception or ....they are listening to and communicating with something/someone else while hanging out in the Barents Sea/Norwegian Sea/Greenland Sea/the GIUK-N gap in the North Atlantic. A lot of these things I mentioned are obviously fortes that might not pop up on export sheets. Nonetheless, these combined and supplementary Nordic abilities are of no less strategic and tactical value to our region and to the alliance as a whole. The 360-degree situational awareness has certainly not gone down around Fennoscandia with the Nordics being united under a defensive umbrella.

Denmark is still cooked. spending money on stupid stuff. thank you FMI

Brazil is the latest for JAS 39 Gripen.

I love this line: Total in storage: Likely some Yeah, Pootin can dream, but the Nordic Fortress is way beyond his capability.

On the part about Finnish artillery you are showing 130k54, which were bought first from soviet union and then from ex-DDR warehouses. The predecessor for the current 155k83 and 98 is the 122k60 that was only a prototype. 155k83 and Soltam M-68 (and them M-71) were developed from that (Soltam was a joint venture between Israeli Solel Boneh and Tampella). That platform has seen a quite a lot of use with Israelis. Soltam also produced mortars based on Tampella design. That way the the Soltam K6 also used by the US Army is similar to Tampella mortars like 120krh92 used in Finland. So Tampella (now incorporated by Patria) had quite an influence on indirect fire of several nations, even if it doesn't show up as a huge export success. On the shipbuilding front Finland is also significant, building and designing most of the worlds ice breakers, large chunk of all naval diesel engines and worlds largest cruise ships. That gives Finland the shipbuilding capacity and know how to build these four new corvettes for Finnish navy. Also in the Finnish F-35 program the engines and front hulls are assembled in Finland (among others). With the F-18's the planes were assembled by Patria. WIth nokia Finland also has had some cutting edge communications networks for the military. For example already back in 1983 Nokia produced these communication devices that send fire commands (among others) as encrypted messages in the network to artillery. It also calculated the forward observer position from known point at map etc. Nowdays the forward observer has these integrated in a targeting system (with thermals etc). These are produced by Finnish company Senop who also produce sights for Carl Gustav. The sights are such that you mark the target and the sight moves the aiming point to correct position so the shooter doesn't have to estimate the range.

I can tell you put a lot of effort and research into making this video, and it shows.🌟🔥

good picture good comment

Btw you forgot that Denmark is now also going to invest 42,4 billion danish kroner in its own warship industry, and is going to produce 55 new warships towards 2040, where 15 of them is going to be larger ones.

You should have put Swedish submarines in the top 3. However the one you had in the top 3 is also worthy winners.

Only thing I find really worth pointing out is about geography. The Norwegian coastline might be huge - and it is - but defending every inch of it isn't as necessary as defending every inch of British Isles for example. Then there's the Baltic Sea and the only possible enemy: it's a frigging mess and almost fully allied coastline. Finnish and Swedish navies combined with coastal defenses alone should be capable of threatening most if not all of what the potential enemy has to offer. Shallow and narrow makes the Finnish gulf a nightmare and operating without absolute air superiority makes it impossible. Considering how the advantage on air is most likely on the defender's side, there's no way in hell the aggressor could actually cause a threat. Even all that being said, I'm all for integrating the navies to be more efficient and improving them. We are not in imminent threat, at least as long as certain war is going on not too far away, but these are long term decisions and I'd say we need to improve to stay several steps ahead. Just to make the attack us too costly to even consider. We are on right track, but we can't relax. Pax Nordica! Make this unbreakable fortress on air, land and sea. Or at least maintain the situation. Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia are in danger, we have to secure the Baltic. I hope Poland and Germany will pay attention too.

nice

Thaks for another great video on the Nordic military. I was a GRG shoter when i did my military service in the Swedish military so i think that Carl Gustav still is a great and versatile weapon, like a Swiss armyknife for the soldiers at the front. but otherwise it was a good list.

For my other videos on the Nordics: Land armies: th-cam.com/video/sZcFnN8d31Y/w-d-xo.html Navies: th-cam.com/video/y-XzOTzJtOs/w-d-xo.html Air forces: th-cam.com/video/GMD5z9-ws2M/w-d-xo.html For the individual nations equipment and manpower, you can find the links to them here: Denmark: th-cam.com/video/MKvNMflH2Vg/w-d-xo.html Sweden: th-cam.com/video/7b_GuBbrunQ/w-d-xo.html Norway: th-cam.com/video/Q5wel_IoPew/w-d-xo.html Finland: th-cam.com/video/fCJ3clmQ_HQ/w-d-xo.html

And before someone comes along and says I should include Iceland, yes I know. But Iceland doesn't have a military.

JAS 39 is old. We're working on it. Naming is open. 😉

Sweden has more artillery then only Archer. This video lacks info on the nordic combined air force capabilities and naval strength. Look at the combined air force capabilities and you will see something interesting.

Stop saying that Poland will be the next superpower. IT WILL NOT, not with Tusk as PM. Tusk obeys EU and EU will never allow Poland to rise too high.

its not kalingrad we call that krulewiec

Polish people knows what to do. They have the history to learn from. it's good that we have a strong Poland.

The scandinav emirates......

This whole story is that the Poles got into the war against Russia, while the Germans always had their backs 🤣🤣🤣

OK, I was not gonna watch it (I know all this from school) but the clip of the high ranking officer stepping out of a Polonez (car) conviced me :)) BTW, are you sure this is a clip from that event because the uniform looks very American (not enough embroidery and definitely not enough medals on his chest, and I thought soviet hat brims should be black and about as large as a roof of a Moscow dacha).

Why not disagree but that is yesterday war (not that Russia shown any advance), could any attack H like original plan to attack Kyiv work if Russia does make this silly move. Also instead of conquer, and very sadly you can see in U that a mad man just throw bomb at you especially power infrastructure etc. so to break your will and surrender. Prepare to that as well?
