Koll på läget - know what's what, get the lay of the land, know what is going on. Learn what and how they are supposed to do things like store their gear in lockers, make their beds, clean the dorm, shave, stand in formation etc.

The cap badges they wear at the start are training regiment badge then after passing so many weeks there is a beret parade when they get their regiments badge

9:55 Aldrig ge upp . Never give up means be persistent in mind and body . Plus in an information folder that was sent out to all households in Sweden , it says if Sweden is attacked by another country , we will never give up . All reports that the resistance will end are false .

1:38 Means to have control over the situation .

Hello just a bit of context for this! This the system of traning we went to a all volonter force. This system lasted less then 8 years. Sweden is now back to the older conscripton model once more! Even if you volonter for service you go through the same system as the conscripts. So any where from a minimum of 7 months up to 15 months of service. The serices ”Vägen till jägaresoldat” is more how the current system works

You talk to much! Try too be more pro!

Stagis guard duty

SA80 is crap

Remember the Canadian Army were initially taught by the British Army

I went in at 16

The Gurkhas have not fought in every major conflict that the British Army has fought in. They did not serve in Northern Ireland. The Gurkha Engineers on my trade course desperately wanted to join me in Northern Ireland after the course ended, but quite rightly were not allowed.

My Father was orphaned at the age of 7, both of his parents died due to illness. He got into the British Army at 18 and finished as the Champion Recruit. He's still serving, about 28 years in now.

Can’t watch this bloke! His regiment isn’t even on the same level and is obviously butt hurt! Most of the people would have been have been killed as he went to look for is friends, that’s the difference!

Theres no point in doing a reaction on a recruitment video.

Love from Finland to Swedes! Stay strong brothers!

24:16 It really started back in the 90's, when a group of teens, found their way into NASA, DOD, CIA etc. Sh*t, the Americans were not ready for internet Sweden. ;) They had basically no idea. Tech nerds. Yes. Tracked to a uni then to the group. ONLY, because they got sloppy not hiding their "intrusion". ""What took you so long?"

21:40 Stealth, Just like the Gotland class sub that sank the Reagan in war games back in San Diego '06?

19:20 CV90 Used in Ukraine against the Russians

16:45 Archer, used in Ukraine against he Russian. Auto-loaded, fire, load, fire.

12:50 It is a Leopard but with Swedish tech built in

12:33 Sorry, as "old as Canada" LMAO. Yeah Sweden was created from last week's history class. GTFO, you gotta leave son

6:18 AK-5

3:56 AK-5

3:40 They use both brother. C'mon, if one fails, then the next, then the next

15:48 It's pretty simple. He went in when the perimeter was secured, the Kenyans wouldn't. You don't have that mentality, I don't either, for him rescuing people was his mission. PLus, he has better training, he would win 1000:1

8:00 Be careful what you say next sir. Heard a lot of Americans try too. No, but I am messing around. True = 1st Tier 1 unit is SAS, taught most, created in ww2

7:40 Of course, your King Is Charles III.

6:11 That is why he said MACV-SOG. But the SAS are the OG's

No we got AK5C

Most of the material in the video are from different exercises involving swedish and nato units and equipment, that goes without saying, but it shows a lot of stuff that are not part of the swedish military. So for a non Swede, it can be somewhat confusing or misleading. overall the video is not that informative, there are way better videos on youtube that explaines how the swedish military is organised, what equipment we have and use, how our different defence branches interact and how different systems are made to be integrated, so that information is shared. So that the ground, air and sea forces all have correct and updated tactical information and situational awareness. We went from mandatory conscription military service (8-12 month of service), to a small but professional elite military force. To now understanding that we need to invest, enlarge and bring back the mandatory military service (so far limited, not mandatory. but growing). Try to find some from videos from our own military channels, those are by far the most accurate. And yes its a Leopard 2 A5 variant, licence built in sweden with a lot of improvements to suit Swedens need, its less Leopard 2A5 (the plattform it is based on) and more like a A6 or even better.

You were never deployed

AK 5built on FNC and the guys with barett are from the Armour unit with the armored fist!

Shoreline defense is a BIG part of Swedens military, since Sweden have a long coastline towards russia with almost 270'000 islands! (most islands of any country in the world) basically the whole coastline is one big Archipelago! Most of it with fairly shallow and not wide waters, meaning any enemy russian transport vessels will have a hard time moving them on to the main land without doing MULTIPLE island hopping first with very small boats of their own. Thus those Patrol combat boats / Gun boats, don't remember how many we have right now but think we'v had like close to 200 of them, Some were given to Ukraine, they act / fill the role as troop transports and light tanks out there in the archipelagoes of swedens long coast, and during winter the troops can sometime Ice skate between the islands if it's cold enough. _________________________ The main rifle of Swedish armed forces for now is the AK5 (Assault Carbine 5) it's basically a rebuilt semi modern FN FAL with 5.56 Nato rounds to match the Swedish needs, Like Larger grip & Trigger to work with thick winter gloves, Making it feel slightly big without gloves but not too bad, aslo built to work at low temperatures some modern Firearms of certain nations just won't, or have higher chance of breaking during extreme cold. _________________________ Swedens Main battle tank is leopard, But a custom made one, Shorter barrel among that, actully decreases effective range BUT whole of Sweden is basically one dense forest, thats very hilly, so most tank engagements would be at shorter distances then on the open planes of eastern europe, and the short barrel also helps with traversing in the forests. Other then that the tank also have improved armour, basically making it MUCH heavier & Slower, but with the forests around they can't be speeding around anyway, basically making it optimal for defensive warfare in Sweden if Russia would invade. ________________________ Carl G recoiless & AT4 are both Swedish made weapons, Also the N-Law thats a British Swedish joint venture, Many companies around the world produce their own Carl G / AT4's under royalties payments for example USA, another old swedish Classic present in most armies even today is the Bofors 40mm auto cannon, and modern versions of it. _______________________ Most armies today are looking to modernise their artillery, Example USA is looking to remove ALL of it's towed artillery, and remove all old tracked artillery in favour of self propelled Wheeled artillery, Those Archers in the video are made to traverse through woods, they are build on modified civilian Wood harvesting trucks. The benefit of Wheeled artillery is that they overall need less supply chain & maintenance! and less chance of breaking down right before you need to reposition before incomming enemy artillery on your positions. The Archer artillery have a 155mm howitzer, that takes 30 seconds to stop and ready to fire, shoot a few rounds and already on the move within 30 seconds later, whole ordeal under 1 minute, making sure to escape the location before enemy counter artillery can land. ______________________ The AFV CV90 is most likely the most modern, most successful and battle tested in the world right now, And Sweden recently entered into a deal with Ukraine about increasing production directly to them and start production of them inside Ukraine too, as it's been the viencle with overall best preformance over there for it's role. It's not derived from any other nations, it stems from Sweden and is fielding by 15 other nations if I remember correctly, most of those within Nato, only negative aspect is it cost a little bit more then example Bradley, but those modernised bradleys with upgraded armour and so on tend to cost even more. Typically the CV 90 have a 40mm Bofors cannon, so not the 20mm of bradley or 30mm russian AFV's have, meanwhile it's also protected against armourpiercing 30mm cannons.

Sorry, for a rewiew of an army you're using way too much talk about your own

That rifle is the newest version of the swedish produced AK5, in this case AK5C. AK stands for automatkarbin or automatic carbine.

You are commenting on videos of JOINT operations with several Nordic/Baltic operations like "Nordic Light" mind the uniforms, at least.😂

I'm not sure if he is now I havent talked to him face to face in a while but my uncle was in the 75th rangers regiment apparently worked with the SAS and saved over 200 soldiers in Afghanistan didnt have a singular loss or anyone wounded and still ended up killing every threat when being shot at from everywhere when calling in airstrikes Some of it could be slightly over exaggerated as I got told by my granddad as they see each other quite frequently

im swedish and you dont want us as enemy!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatkarbin_5

Sweden have one of the best military 'equipment in the world.. Check out CV 90 T 120 Ghost tank... and and you have a lot to 'check out' 🇸🇪

NATO👎

Maybe watch the segments a bit longer next time.....instead of having to ask a question about what you see....and then 3 seconds later getting the answer!!!! 🤯 Deply annoying.

The first guys camo on the face are pansarskytte. Armoured infantry,

About the GDP, Ye we are now spending 2,2 %, we got plans of increasing that further in the next comming years. the goal is like 2.5-2.6% The corvette is a stealth ship, its equiped with torpedos , missiles and a 57 MM bofors cannon, grenade launchers, mines, it also got a helicopter dock for submarine hunting, all the weaponry is hidden behind hatches when its not used, thats why it looks like the ship dont carry any weaponry

Here´s a fellow canadian of yours Matsimus that visited Hägglunds producerer of the infantery fighting vehicle CV90 : th-cam.com/video/fa7eJeQK864/w-d-xo.html Great show of cv90

Wow... i never thought i would find this much fault in a video that calls itself "soldier" reacts, you talk about your time in the 90's as it is today. ballistic vest are not a thing, plate carriers are. Wheeled artillery is king, and the corvettes missiles are VLS and you are no longer a soldier...

Swedish Army is pretty much 100% defence from our arch enemy Russia.

Then please stop making those uninitiated videos, before you done the backgroundcheck. You just look plain stupid, one expect more from a person with your background and experience.

The small coastal boat you saw is a CB-90 (combat boat 90). It has crazy performance. Water jet and it stops from full throttle speed to stationary in less the 2 boat lengths. It not pleasant to experience a stop like that. But dang it's a great boat. With .50 cal and all gear.

To my rude fellow swedes. Sluta vara otrevliga, ni skämmer ut er och vårt land.
