The amrican equivalent to these guys would be something like the US Army Rangers, so it's not really basic infantry, it's more of an elite infantry unit focusing on guerrilla warfare fighting in small groups behing enemy lines to disrupt the enemy as much as possible.
I was trained on K3 as an airborne ranger/jaeger and I agree with this post.
Gotcha. I figure with "hunter" in the name, it's gotta be serious
@@CombatArmsChannel The history goes way back to appr 1632 and it comes from german Jaeger, and first unit was hunters that were put in small units. Fighting different from regular units at the time. But modern Swedish jÃĪgarfÃķrband is from 1940-1950. And there is, have been a lot... Lapplands jÃĪgare, fÃĪltjÃĪgare, kustjÃĪgare, fallskÃĪrmsjÃĪgare, flygpasjÃĪgare. But i think its Hard to just make a straight translation to US. But I think Rasmus i betyg Close. But gemener that in Sweden it used to be conscripted soldiers with 10-15 months training
@@smokingorca Hmm. My dad was a "Vildman" VÃĪsterbotten fÃĪltljÃĪgarkÃĨr. Best description of his training would be "Terrorist" according to him.

The white camo is actually like a thin coat and pants that you put on ontop of your regular M90 (green) uniform, so if you were to walk into a forest away from the snowy mountaintops, you could literally change your camo from white to green in just a minute to suit the enviorment.
Ahh ok solid idea
@@CombatArmsChannel it actually depends on scenario aka not 100% accurate but 99% of the time it is, there are white gear just not in use, I know it was given out previously to tank units
Hey mate, never thought I'd see this. I used to work at AJB (ArmÃĐns JÃĪgarbataljon), the battalion displayed in this video, and even did a tour abroad with them. I figured I could share some info on the topic. "JÃĪgare" (meaning Ranger/s in english) are operating behind enemy lines, pursuing sabotage, recon, and leading airstrikes and artillery. It is, like the narrator says, the Army's most prominent unit for combat behind enemy lines. Although AJB is considered light infantry, its roots are cavalry, as back in the days they relied on horses. Hence, the soldiers there are also called "Dragoons". Also, if you take a closer look on the batch/tab they wear on their arm (not sure if visible in this video), you can see it's similar to the "Ranger tab". AJB have had exchanges with the 75th Army Rangers since the 70's, and when the first officer from AJB in Sweden went and did the Ranger Course, he saw many similarities and decided to make a similar tab to the "JÃĪgare", however with the inscription "JÃGARE". Since then many officers have gone through the Ranger Course. To become a "JÃĪgare" is one of the toughest courses in the Swedish Army. Despite all the action in the video, most of the time it's just miserable, dark and cold., since that is AJBs best weapon - shit conditions. The weather close to the Arctic Circle is what make these guys tough, not their biceps (although doing disco-sets in the gym is important). Best
Big up to the AJB! To work efficenetly in that environment takes a lot of things. Physical prowess, mental stbility and team spirit. I have a friend who did the AJB mandatory service (that we have in Sweden). He was a different guy afterwords. Great friend before, a great man afterwords. All respect!
Tack fÃķr din Service !
King assÃĨ!
Oh ok, thanks for the clarification!
Should be added that the basic concept is based on the finnish "FjÃĪrrpatruller", working in depth with recon and sabotage, from world war 2.
I remember talking with my dad about the Jaegers, and he mentioned how the way they fight is way different from the regular army. When he did his compulsory military service in the late 70's the 'rule of thumb' were that the regulars would spend 60 days in the field on exercise and 300 at the regiment, while the jaegers would spend 300 days out in the field and 60 days at the regiment.
He actually talked to a friend he grew up with who applied for the Jaeger corps after being (falsely) informed that those guys generally got better food. Well he was assigned to the Jaeger corps, spent the first day receiving his gear and the day after they were sent out in the woods, given a live chicken and were told to make lunch out of it haha
I'm pretty sure FÃķrsvarsmakten has subtitles on their videos that you can toggle ð

Thanks!
Don't quote me but I believe there is a law mandating it even
Combat Arms Channel: "Temperature may stay generally the same"
Sweden: "So should we have 30 degrees celsius or negative 30 degress celsius today?"
the weather waits for us to get dressed before it decides.
In the last three weeks I've had +20 C in sun. +4 C and wind, snow and hail. And this is June, in south Sweden.
Don't trust the swedish summer, it will screw you over.
To be fair, US climate can vary a lot as well, even more so than ours. Go to Minnesota or Wisconsin in the winter and you can easily find negative 30 degrees celsius, go to Arizona in the summer and you'll suffer 40-50 degrees celsius.

On the bent caps: When we don't have the caps on (indoors or when using helmets) we fold them into a triangle and store them in our left leg-pocket. That makes it's bent like that.
Jaegers (hunters in english) are self sustained units, ment for long range recon, Guerilla warefare and sabotage. Attacking enemy supply caches and gathering points behind enemy lines. And to tie up resources to root them out, Decreasing the enemies frontline capabileties. They also have forward observer capability to guide in artillery or CAS. Nordic contries all have them, some in more specialized fields then others but all with the same base concept
evilreddog itâs also worth pointing out that these arenât one ONE particular unit, there are several specialized jaeger units for various types of operational purpose and terrain. For example the âfjÃĪlljÃĪgareâ who operate in the snowy mountain ranges in northern sweden like we saw in the video, or the âkustjÃĪgareâ (coastal jaegers) who are more like an amphibious commando unit.
@@Vamashara yes and "Air base" jeagers, eller flybasjÃĪgare.
Alexander Wingeskog arenât the the same as the parachute jaegers (fallskÃĪrmsjÃĪgare)? Or is it a new type? Canât say Iâve heard of that one.
Vamashara fallskÃĪrmsjÃĪgare jobbar mest med fast och rÃķrlig spaning backen fiendes linjer, inte helt sÃĪker pÃĨ flygbasjÃĪgare vet dock att de arbetar med hund

Re. opening sequence, translation: the jaeger battalion is there to supplement army brigade combat (highest level of army combat trained for in the Swedish army up until recently).
Re. AT4 volley-fire sequence: probably defensive drill against armored threat (IIRK infantry combat manuals state more than one shot to kill/disable IFV/MBT - so this is definitely not a "defend against insurgents"-scenario.)
Re. "Jaeger" - germanic for "hunter", historically to denote the European King's/Monarch's need for skirmish/raid troops often recruited from mountain-tribes/nomadic horse people and over centuries stylized to "Jaeger"-name to define the purpose and specialized tactics of essentially regularly recruited troops from more homogenous populations within the nationstate borders (when tribes and rural populations diminished).
Re. AT4 and Carl-Gustaf - both are in use with Swedish armed forces. US utilization of AT-4 was kind of outside the designated purpose of the weapon - in Swedish use it's always been "near-exclusively" meant to defeat armor. CG was always, from 1948 really, designated for multi-purpose use. So, the US finally caught up with how to use the CG and returning AT-4 to its original purpose... :)
Re. Bent caps - style... just style. ;)
Re. ghillie suit - specialized fabric with IR-defeating capabilities.
Re. assault rifle and SAW optics - Aimpoint exclusively.
Re. winter camouflage - it's coveralls put over your BDU, the "M90"-style uniform - keeps the logistics burden down a bit.
Really enjoy your review videos. :)
Nah it's not just style, it's to keep the rain from forming at the front :) But yeah STYLE!
I need to correct you on one thing, the caps are bent because of how they are polded in the pocket of the pants when not worn, the cool look is just a byproduct of that. B-)
Awesome insight, thanks for sharing!
When I was in the service, we were taught that three hits from the AT4 was enough to disable an IFV, while an MBT would need five. Also in my experience the AT4 is a squad-level weapon, meaning every infantryman will be trained with it. While the GRG is for specialized units. Least that's my experience from some ten years ago.
A Swedish soldier can never wear a hat indoors. When wearing a cap, it.s usually tucked into the leg pocket when entering a building, which in turn causes the brim to be bent. From there itâs become more or less a military fashion to wear your cap with a bent brim. It actually protects a bit better from the elements as well.
Thanks for good neighbors. I'm from Finland
Thanks to you too!
varsÃĨgod! sweden ( me) am happy!
the TEMPERATURE STAYS THE SAME?!?! the lowest recorded temperature in sweden is -52 degrees celsius

About the ghillie suite it is the The Special Operations Tactical Suit (SOTACS) represents the most advanced personal camouflage equipment available. The suit has multi spectral characteristics and provides protection from visual observation, night vision devices and thermal sensors. It can be worn over ordinary Battle Dress Uniform, allowing the level of camouflage to be adapted to each situation.
Where is it produced? Is it Swedish made or imported?
@@vertie2090 yeah swedish SAAB Barracuda
saab.com/land/signature-management/soldier-integrated-systems/sotacs/
@@vertie2090 it is made by barracuda which is a subsidiary of saab
To add up on above comment and comment of the US guille suit I have seen. Of course the color itâs self should blend in but the whole idea of it is to âeraseâ the sharp contours with no room for missed areas of the body. You often see half suit, blanket suits or just a few stripes hanging on the sniper, this one fully covers the whole body and by that blends in to the nature. The winter one fully white looks a bit crazy, like chickens but in the winter landscape/nature they are gone.
Regarding the ghillie suits, they are IR suits because the main enemy would be a high tech qualified enemy with air superiority.
the camo on the helmet may not be as relevant or requires a lot of work for troops that change through different environments a lot so that they have to switch it all the time. but here in sweden pretty much the entire country is pine forest so you can never go wrong with a pinetree on your head :D
What a refreshing change to see someone objectively look at things!
A few years back I played airsoft with the Swedish military(100+ guys in the woods), I was hoping to end up in their team but no... They where invisible to a "non military trained dude" such as I. They totally owned that woodland haha :D It was fun!
Are you from Sweden?
The hat bend is a style for sure, diffrent units have there diffrent flavor aswell, but it serves a purpose in that its a soft cap and u can fold it to put it in the leg pocket
They do use the Carl Gustav, @3:13 the jaeger on the right is carrying a backpack holding 4 hard plastic tubes used for carrying the Shells for the CG.
The Swedish Army and rangers use Carl Gustav M3-4, NLAW (RB57), AT4 (Pskott86) and TOW (RB55).
There are many different types of JÃĪgarsoldiers in Sweden. What we saw in this video was the jÃĪgarsoldiers based in northern Sweden, but their is coastjÃĪgarsoldiers and airbasejÃĪgare as well.

Translation.
The jÃĪgar battalion is the army's fore most section for fighting deep behind the enemy's possition.
The battalion has a highly developed capacity to work with high stammina within arctic, sub-arctic, wastland and in mountainous terrain.
The fighting in deep behind the enemy is a very valuable and necessary part of the brigade level of a fight.
It's primmarely about contributing to affecting the opponents capacity to do war by slowly but surely, breaking down their moral will, and physical ability to fight.
The jÃĪgar fighters contributes to preparing the opponent for a decisive end.
The jÃĪgar battles are faught in small but manouverable units that with different equipment and methods disturbs, hinders and harrasses the enemy's ability to fight.
By working deep behind the lines, the jÃĪgars continualy provide valueble information, on equipment, ability, and other important things that help the comander's situational awareness.
The jÃĪgar battalion is there fore also a wonderfull spying resource.
Knowledge of the terrain. The hidden nature of the battalion and the spread out operations means that the jÃĪgars can strike at any point in the enemy's army quickly, and with heavy force.
(some longer cinamatics, including snow mobiles)
The goals the jÃĪgar battalion is working towards can be the enemy's long range fighting systems, air deffence, supply routs, and supply depots. Everything acording to higher officer's prioreties.
In the long term this means that the enemy is forced to conduct counter operations. That pins reasorces and the freedom of action across the whole oppetative deapth.
(some more cinamatics, this time with shooting)
Except for conducting survalence and combat roles can the unit also do artillery and flight support.
In order for the jÃĪgars work to be conducted, organized and in order to build up further tollerance in form of, for example, qualified medicine, special and adapted support funktions are required. These funktions are included, funktionaly in a re-enfircement squadron within the battalion. Here you can find specialists and leadership, (samband????), alpine mobility, transport and maintnence of jÃĪgar groups.
The re-enfircement squadron is a part of the jÃĪgar battalion, and is needed for the jÃĪgar battalion to have full effect.
The jÃĪgar battalion is never visable to the opponent, but is creating a wide threat that dissables the opponents freedom of action, and it's moral will.
For opperational and tactical movement of the jÃĪgars, it's usualy a hellicopter that's used. Where both personel, supplies, and resources can be moved great disstances.
The jÃĪgar battalions core and tactical unit is the jÃĪgar platoon. It is an indipendent, tolerant and manouverable unit, that without re-supply works in harsh climates, and terrains.
The training to become a jÃĪgar soldier is both physicaly and mentaly tasking.
The sole jÃĪgar soldier is the jÃĪgar battalion's most important building block. There fore are both the physical and mental requirements very high.

The end.
Read this whilest watching, each segment is a pause in the video.
That takes dedication and probably more than an hour lol
Thanks a lot for the humble praise. To be really honest these guys military education and toughness in relation to the American military would be the equivalent to some religious summer camp for kids age 9-12.
The hat V shape is because you fold it to fit into your leg-pocket that way. It's pretty soft.
Nej den ÃĪr till fÃķr att ÃĪta pÃĨ
You fold it into a little pie shape and then you can easily put it into your leg pocket once you go indoors.
And because it's a staple of whom have been there for long.
Keep the swedish stuff coming! When I have some time I could do a translation if you want me to?
It's good info on these troops application in battle and it covers the Swedish overall strategy somewhat..
I'm working with a program to translate real time. Its seems decent so I might just have that open next video to understand better
@@CombatArmsChannel There are a fair amount of programs for that purpose. ITH (Interactive text hooker) comes to mind.

oh man you should have asked for a translation from the channel - they would have probably loved that. basically they go over everything about how they operate as a military.
My dad has been in the Jaeger battalion for 30 years now, I am always amazed by how he and his friends travers rough terrain. effortless like a moose whilst I'm stepping in every puddle possible. Also they are really self sufficient in an unforgiving environment; "ants is a good source of protein and they taste like lemons" He always said while I was growing up, I had to try it and he wasn't lying, they really taste like lemons :D
You seems to be a very nice and calm guy and I like your reviews. Yeah in Sweden we take what we have and make the best of it.
The v on the cap is a byproduct from staging the cap away in your belt/pocket, at least that's why the Danish cap looks like that.
Correct. When going inside you put the cap in the (usually) left leg pocket, and that eventually makes the brim form into that V-shape.
Its also very common from swedish farmers because they wash their caps in the dishwasher sometimes. But if you do the opposite you become a "Volvo Raggare" and that is almost the same thing but they only live in the country side and not on a farm.

Almost every swede learns how to swim at a young age actually.
Yes cause we all live near lakes or rivers here!
It's an obligatory part of elementary school. To pass you have to be able to swim at least 200 meters.
@choppa grizzly I know you all try to portray yourselves that way but lets be honest, only about less than 5% of your people shoot guns in their lives.
Here in Sweden it actually is very normal to take your kids with you hunting and shooting guns aswell so i dont see a point with your comment.
Also, a kid that has just learned how to swim doesnt need to be able to swim more than 200 meters, thats dumb as they are able to train themselves.
choppa grizzly Whilst hunting isnât as popular in most of Europe it is in nothern Europe. USA has got more hunters, but youâve also got a population the thatâs like 13 times bigger than the nordic countries combined. The nordic countries has gotten more hunters compaired to their population than america.
@choppa grizzly You have no idea about how popular hunting is in Sweden, why would you even embarrass yourself like this?
Im from the Norwegian Arctic Ranger Company. Very similar to this! Im a Minimi (Other version of the M249 Saw) gunner. We usually operate behind enemy lines and spend alot of our training in harsh terrain
Thanx man ! as a former QRF soldier in the Swedish army i really like that you cover these guys, thaey are really hardcore for a Swedish regiment.
There is a mini series about these guys training, its pretty good, you could use the youtube translation if you watch it, there is a funny thing in one of the vids where one of the trainees lost their gun and the officer or what you call him notices and.. yeah
Thats a good series
Good serie! But itâs actually about the education for the light infantry battalion at K3, not the same regiment;)
I actually had a brigade CO misplacing his gun once. That was kind of awkward, especially since we were expecting a field visit from the Secretary of Defense. He had to borrow a gun from one of the staff sergeants.
The misplaced gun later showed up in the chopper the CO had been taking a ride in earlier that day.
JÃĪgare is a ranger unit. I think i mentioned it in the commets on your Finland video, that the Savolax brigade was a legendary very early unit the Swedish/Finn crown had put up to fight and sabotage and ambush behind the Russian lines.
in Finland jÃĪgers are not really troops working behind enemy lines, they're the main combat troops at the frontline. Their task is generally the heaviest in a war.
It seems the Swedish jÃĪgers have a very different role. What are the frontline main combat troops called in Sweden?

A rumor i heard from a friend who worked at Bofors, swedens mail military RND said that the uniforms while barely updated since the 80's have a special chemical compund in them to stay hidden from heat signatures and must be cleaned at certain cleaners.
That sounds dope! So Bofors makes the uniforms? I wonder if they sell to civilians haha
@@CombatArmsChannel I don't know if Bofors makes the actual uniforms. Just heard it from an old timer at Bofors who worked on artillery systems
No not quite. You had to use a special detergent you got from supply, but you could wash it in a normal washing machine if you had a dry tumbler. There was some treatment of the fabric to make it better at keeping water out and normal detergent would damage that. They dry tumbling was to get the fibers to stick together after cleaning to be sealed.
Worked quite well as long as the uniform was not to worn down.
And no, it is not sold to civilians as far as I know even though there are a lot of knockoffs and even some "lost items" sold on the side from time to time.
@@davidmartensson273 sounds dope and haha those lost items always finding a way to the civilian market

The way they fold the cap is is just tradition really. The screen is kinda soft and floppy if you don't fold it at an angle. And it looks better that way. That's what my co told in basic training anyway.
Also i saw someome say it fits better in the pocket that way which may be how it started in the first place.
Ahhh cool you covered one of the branches jÃĪgar units. Super fun to watch and listen. Keep up the good work.
Its an official army video explaining what the JÃĪgar units do. Hitting the enemy and disturbing them behind their lines and providing information
15:20 yeah Swimming is important in Sweden. He have a very long coast and we have lakes and rivers literally everywhere. About 10% of our landmass is actually just water and we have the EU:s biggest lake as well
What a humble guy. A pleasure to listen to.
Thanks for posting! The AT-4 you call is something every soldier can use and its mostly for hard targets. The CG is used by specially trained soldiers and usually you have one CG in every group. At least when I did my service 88-89. ;-)
Here is a picture from when I was working at the Swedish Sniper course, you can see how the gillie suit actually do blend in a bit better. They can add material to it depending on what sort of area they operate in. Also it's about choosing your spot/ environment like in pic two.
Sweden has about 2700 Km's ( 1680 miles ) of coast so water is a huge element within the Swedish armed forces. There are jaeger/ jÃĪgare within all branches more or less. Marines/ Amphibious battalion got KustjÃĪgare/ Coastal Rangers/ Commandos and UDT. Army got these guys in the video "Army ranger battalion" the K3's "Rangers" Army "Parachute Airborne Rangers" and Air force got their "Air base Rangers".
Swedish only Special Forces are the SOG "Special Operations Group" SÃĪrskilda operationsgruppen and some of these Ranger units do have some support or co-op with SOG though now SOG has developed their own support elements to cover all this, so the support from the different Ranger units are more or less gone.
Other then that a good video and I'm sure it would have given you more if it was in English or subtitled.

Yeah, my point with that with what camouflage you have you find the best spot for it. No matter what gillie suit you have or camouflage you use when moving or in the "wrong" environment you will be seen or it will look bad.
These colors used in the Swedish camouflage has been tested to be the best all around for the Swedish environment and since Sweden is a defensive country that only focus on defending the territory that is what they use. Sure there has been a "desert" uniform and "lighter" uniform developed for deploying on UN or International missions but fundamentally that pattern and those colors are what works best for Sweden.
People with far more grades and way higher pay grade then me figured that out ;)
Sweet pictures. Thanks for sharing ðŠ
No problem, just fun to share with you!
The ghillie suit is IR-
absorbing. That's why it looks like that.
Also, snipers are trained to enhance the suit so this was probably just situation training where they did not spend time on that. I know some one who trained as sniper and has seen a suite fully prepared. You did not see the sniper from 20 feet away until they moved.
Yes. I used to work with measuring NIR-signature on uniforms and combat gear like the Berghaus backpacks. I took IR-photos of gear next to different materials in different environments to compare color and ir-reflection through night vision device like NVG. E.g. a bad backpack can be all OD green fabric, green straps, green patches and all the different materials looks like it's the same green color through your eye and it blends in with the nature. But when you look at the backpack through night vision goggles the straps are now glowing and you look like a walking christmas three. The straps is reflecting way more IR than the rest of the materials and thats bad.
Worth to mention, the Swedish armed Forces is conscript based. So what you see is after less than a year of training of drafted kids that the Armed forces return as men.
Former Ranger here. Older equipment was sometimes used during by the Rangers as it was more sturdy/crude and did not get brittle in the cold. such as plastic/carbon fiber.
Certain electronics did not do well in the cold either why old school stuff was used instead. As the training is meant to simulate actual war conditions where the Rangers would be without support for a long time there would be no replacement material brought up but you had to do with what you could carry/drag along.
The most important asset though is the mindset and training of the individual soldiers that - it least in my days - were all taught tactical skills, leadership, medical skills and knowledge of all weapon systems should anyone be put out of action.
Thanks for the video

I was in the Swedish army 89-94 and already back then suvivability and self sustainability was important on all levels. I wasn't a ''real'' jaeger, but Sgt in a infantry recon unit with similar tasks but not as deep in or as far behind the enemy lines. Main tasks were information gathering, sabotage, calling in air support and if possible, small and effective strikes against the enemy support and maintenance units. Most of Sweden has a lot of forests, lakes and mountains (or at least large height differences limiting and channeling movements). We also have the very obvious 4 seasons, making a ghillie suite would be hard, and even in the summer you would need different suites depending on the terrain. On the flat lands in the south where we have a lot of farming there's a completely different color scheme compared to the mixed zones and in the forests that covers the rest of Sweden, except for in the mountains in the north, where there's very little to hide in unless it's winter and a lot of Snow. You need to use what's right in the moment, and in Sweden we have the winter suite to use over the uniform to blend in when there's snow. Basic survival training is part of what every soldier has to learn. As long as you have access to your personal gear anyone should be able to coop alone for at least a week. Drinkable water is everywhere and you always have some rations or survival sweets (Raisins, other dried fruits and small pieces of chocolate is the favorite) with you on patrol or on missions. Every soldier also learn how to use and maintain all weapons used and get basic knowledge in how to use explosives. Normally in an army infantry group you have a sharpshooter, 2 with AT4's, 1 pair of soldiers on one Carl Gustav and one soldier on the heavy machine gun. The standard personal weapon is the AK5 of some model. Since the army became mechanized the size of the groups has changed down to 6, from 10, to fit in back of the CV90's. In my time we were 8+2 * 3 +2 in a platoon. In my company recon unit we were 4 soldiers. Not sure how the structure is today. My last mission was with the Swedish UN forces, NORDBAT, in Bosnia, BA02 in 1994. We, my company, had some crazy times in the Igman mountains serving under the french command in Sarajevo, where we kept the only road in and out of the city open. We also had to keep all parts from entering the area by all means. An area large enough for a battalion, but we did it for +3 months with a company. Later, in the nearest UN maintenance camp in Kieseljack, where Americans, Danish and some other NATO-forces lived a comfortably camp life, we learned that we were called ''The Crazy Swedes On The Mountain'', ha ha. With a limit of 4 liter of water per 24 hours per person, I can truly say that the 2x200 sheets of baby wipes I had with me saved me from a number of diseases. Our camouflage uniforms had only one color of dirt brown. I guess we looked pretty wild the first time we visited the camp, and we were generously offered to use their showers and to use their PX, which we did not have on the mountain of course. That shower and another one in Split, Croatia, and one timed 2 min field shower were the only 3 showers in 14 weeks. God save the baby wipes. The best friend a soldier can have :) .
Finished their basic 11 month training a year ago. If you have any questions about us i can answer them here!
Sweden is going back to a conscription to, you might find that interesting
Back in time it existed a hunter battalion (approx. Army Ranger battalion) called Lapplands jÃĪgarregement I22 /Fo66. It's closed down now, but I was there for a year. The regiment was a bit unique in that it was the northernmost military base in Sweden (above the Arctic Circle).
The pictures from the video are identical to the environment in which I did my military service.
The bent hat comes from the way itâs stored(normaly right leg) and i believe the ghillie suit is made out of a material that blocks IR-rays
I think my other post vanished? Silly YT.
Anyway, the three AT4s were most likely aimed at the same armoured target. Our doctrine is to, if possible, get 3 hits on an armoured vehicle to ensure it is taken out. If you wanna be dogmatic, we are supposed to fire 6 HEAT rounds at one target to increase the chances of 3 hits.
If you want information on swedens military search âfÃķrsvarsmaktenâ everything is on english
I was a Sergant Recon in Swedish Lapland during the Cold war era, the harsh environment is out best friend, wintertime the temperature can drop to -50 Fahrenheit so your really have to be physical and mentally fit and have more or less been born in that type of climate and now how to cope with mother nature or both man and machine will break down.
We have four seasons in Sweden in northern Sweden, we have winter nine months a year during the winter, it is almost dark all day. But during the summer it is bright around the clock. Southern Sweden is different there, we have not had snow for 20 years, so the soldiers have to adapt quickly.
In these videos they keep a lot secret you know... Including camoflague.
The gilli suits are actually anti-flir. Using this suite makes it almost impossible to be seen by heat cameras.
Check out the Saab company barracuda for more informations about the sniper suits
Nope
@@sorennilsson9742 What do you mean no? This is the SAAB barracuda suits, not average ghillies.
@@maigeri99 the snipers on the video does not use the baracuda suits, baracuda suits are very easy to make at home using aluminised plasticfoile inside cloth sheets, the foile have a thermic effect on heat.
@@TzunSu The SAAB Baracuda need sufficient with air behind it not to give away IR radiation. The three dimensional surface structure makes the heat waves dispurse thereby making it hard to see what is behind, it also has a chlorophyll imitating pigmentation that makes it harder to detect. However to get 0 IR you need to cover your firing pasition with 15 to 30 cm of natural isolation or you can use your sleeping pad. In combination with the Baracuda.
As an former Swedish army Medic (KompanisjukvÃĨrdare. Have nooo idea what that's called in English), this vid almost made me drool. Goddamn, I miss the army. Is that weird? I've been working in civilian hospitals ever since I left the army. But it's never the same. I miss that "solve the problem" attitude. Heck, even cauterizing the wound with gun powder was ok when under heavy fire and you needed the soldier to stay in the fight. Meh. I'm babbling here. Anyway, thanks for another great video.
Haha not weird. I've seen some interesting field solutions to injuries. I can appreciate the dark humor and respect haha
(From around 14.50, that is taken from the tryouts.) When I did my tryout, I asked the officer why there were buckets around the pool. The answer I got were: those are there for you to trow up in. And you will. Over 30 years ago, but what a beautiful memory.
11:06 The hats get that way when you fold them.
Considering the amount of lakes and rivers in Sweden, you really need to be able to swim. If you are a JÃĪgare you definatly need to be able to swim, hunt, navigate and all skills that you might need to fight or survive in a situation where you are cut off from supplies or command.
Yes, you might need to swim over a river along with all equipment, we have quite a few and going around is not an option. Swimming like that is part of basic training (at least back when I did my time and I was not even in the jÃĪgar battalions).
Same here, it happens from time to time even for regular infantry that you need to swim across a river or something to get to the assault destination. In basic training you are taught basic survival and a Little later you are taught basic arctic survival too, including the glorious going through the ice with skis and pack.
Normal hunter soldier:
As a hunter soldier, your job is to fight offensively, scout, blow up structures and mine areas. You can, for example, spy and map the opponent, to later be able to knock out a radio mast and thus their communication.
You are part of a group of hunters who work independently, often in hard-to-reach or sensitive areas. Everyone in the group has specialist competence in one area; signalman, driver, sniper, combat paramedic, weapons specialist and group leader.
Your everyday life as a hunter-gatherer consists mostly of training with your group. It is important that you always have a high level of preparedness.
Your hunting group should be able to cover long distances on foot, on skis or in smaller patrol vehicles. You can also be transported in combat vehicles, helicopters and aircraft. The group should also be able to cross watercourses with your equipment.
The demands on the staff are higher than in most other positions. The hunting battalion in Arvidsjaur specializes in operations in Arctic and subarctic winter conditions.
As a hunter soldier, you work mainly in Sweden but can also participate in international operations.
Paratrooper(Parachute hunter):
You and your group are transported by airplane in order to be released from high altitude and silently glide towards the area in which you are to operate. You retrieve information through fixed or mobile reconnaissance on bare ground and in winter environments.
Fixed reconnaissance means that you secretly spy from one and the same place towards one or more objects, for example a road junction or bridge building.
Mobile reconnaissance means that you spy while you move and can last for several days. Maybe you are looking at a building from different directions.
The intelligence material you obtain will form the basis for decisions at a higher level and can be decisive for a positive development of events.
As a paratrooper, you will several times conduct regular reconnaissance for up to three weeks and often under very extreme conditions.
The group you belong to must also be able to solve qualified combat tasks far behind the enemy's lines - the area where the enemy is. As a paratrooper, you usually work in groups or in so-called combat pairs, two and two, never individually. Your knowledge and skills will also be able to be used for international peacekeeping operations.
When you are not practicing in your position, the service is as usual for a soldier, ie you take care of your personal equipment and train physically so that both you and your equipment are in top shape before the next operation.
Air base hunter:
One of your tasks as an air base hunter is to rescue the Swedish military who have fallen into distress during a combat situation or who have crashed with their vehicle or aircraft. You are part of a patrol of a total of six people and a dog. Together, you are responsible for taking care of any damage and for protecting and transporting the person in need back to the home base.
You work together with a helicopter unit, which ensures that you can land as close to the person as possible. If the prevailing threat is high, you and your patrol can be dropped off a short distance away and instead get the last bit on foot or with smaller vehicles that the helicopter brought with it.
Since you mainly work in groups, you must be a good team player and always ready to do your utmost for the patrol.
During a normal day, you practice soldier skills interspersed with more job-specific tasks. You are mostly out in the woods and fields, but you also spend a small part of the time in the classroom.
You work in a specific field, such as a dog handler, paramedic or sniper.
The dog handler works together with his dog to become a good team in reconnaissance, wind and sound marking and preparation search. In addition to his sniper rifle, the sniper has a number of different optical sensors and an ability to be part of a sniper unit. The nurse's special competence is the emergency care but also the more protracted care while waiting for transport.- Swedish armed force official website
In Swedish they are called "jÃĪgarsoldater" they go deep inside enemy territory and gather information living alone separated from the rest of the army for long periods among many other things.
I just found your channel, enjoy it very much. You should do one with Norway, FSK (Forsvarets Spesial Kommando) or Marinejegerkommandoen (Marines) thats our elite forces, and supposedly one of the top sf in the world.
I took the time to transcribe and translate the narration from the original video. The Swedish transcription is followed by the English translation.
[00:17] JÃĪgarbattaljonen ÃĪr ArmÃĐns frÃĪmsta fÃķrband fÃķr strid pÃĨ djupet av motstÃĨndarens gruppering.
[00:25] Battaljonen har en sÃĪrskilt utvecklad fÃķrmÃĨga att med hÃķg uthÃĨllighet verka i subarktisk, Ãķdemarks, och bergsterrÃĪng.
[00:36] Striden pÃĨ djupet ÃĪr ett vÃĪrdefullt och nÃķdvÃĪndigt komplemment till brigadernas strid.
[00:43] Det handlar ytterst om att bidra till att pÃĨverka motstÃĨndarens krigfÃķringsfÃķrmÃĨga genom att lÃĨngsiktigt bryta ner dennes moraliska och fysiska kraft.
[00:54] JÃĪgarstriden bidrar till att forma motstÃĨndaren fÃķr ett avgÃķrande.
[01:05] JÃĪgarstriden utfÃķrs med smÃĨ och lÃĪttrÃķrliga enheter som med olika stridsmedel och metoder stÃķr, fÃķrsvÃĨrar, och hindrar motstÃĨndarens verksamhet.
[01:20] Genom att operera pÃĨ djupet inhÃĪmtar jÃĪgarna kontinuerligt information om motstÃĨndaren, terrÃĪngen, eller andra fÃķrhÃĨllanden, och bidrar dÃĪrmed till hÃķgre chefs lÃĪgesuppfattning.
[01:34] JÃĪgarbattaljonen ÃĪr dÃĪrfÃķr ocksÃĨ en utomordentlig underrÃĪttelseresurs.
[01:41] TerrÃĪngkÃĪnnedomen - det dolda upptrÃĪdandet i kombination med utspridd gruppering - bidrar till att jÃĪgarna snabbt och ovÃĪntat kan slÃĨ till mot motstÃĨndarens grÃĪnssÃĪttande resurser och ?? ?? ÃķvervÃĪrdiga mÃĨl lÃĨngt bakom fronten.
[02:33] Dom mÃĨl jÃĪgarbattaljonen verkar mot kan vara motstÃĨndarens lÃĨngrÃĪckviddiga bekÃĪmpningssystem, luftvÃĪrn, ledningsplatser, fÃķrsÃķrjningsvÃĪgar, och underhÃĨllsbaser - allt i enlighet med hÃķgre chefs prioriteringar.
[02:51] Soldat: TÃĪnt ÃĪr det hÃĪr!
[03:13] I lÃĪngden bidrar detta till att motstÃĨndaren tvingas till motÃĨtgÃĪrder som binder resurser och begrÃĪnsar handlingsfriheten Ãķver hela det operativa djupet.
[03:30] Soldat: Nu ska i fÃĪlt fÃķrsvarsladdningar - framÃĨt!
[03:35] Text: Denna sida mot fienden.
[03:58] FÃķruttom att lÃķsa spanings och striddsuppgifter kan pluttonsenheten ÃĪven leda flyg och artilleriunderstÃķd.
[04:08] FÃķr att jÃĪgarnas insatser ska kunna ledas, samordnas, och fÃķr att bygga upp ytterligare uthÃĨllighet - i form av exempelvis kvalificerad sjukvÃĨrd - krÃĪvs speciellt och sÃĪrskilt anpassade stÃķdfunktioner.
[04:22] Dessa funktioner ingÃĨr organisatoriskt i en fÃķrstÃĪrkningssskvadron i battaljonen.
[04:28] HÃĪr finns specialister pÃĨ ledning, samband, sjukvÃĨrd, alpin rÃķrlighet, transporter, och underhÃĨll av jÃĪgarfÃķrband.
[04:40] FÃķrstÃĪrkningsskvadronen ÃĪr en del av jÃĪgarbattaljonen och ÃĪr avgÃķrande fÃķr att jÃĪgarbattaljonssystemet ska nÃĨ full effekt.
[05:05] JÃĪgarbattaljonen ÃĪr aldrig synlig fÃķr motstÃĨndaren men skapar en bredd av hot som undergrÃĪver motstÃĨndarens vilja och fÃķrlamar dennes handlingsfrihet.
[05:16] Soldat: Jag tror pÃĨ vind ?? ?? blÃĨser typ tre meter i sekunden frÃĨn... eh... klockan tre.
[05:23] FÃķr operativa och taktiska fÃķrflyttningar av jÃĪgarfÃķrband utnyttjas ofta helikopter dÃĪr bÃĨde personnal, utrustning, och fÃķrnÃķdenheter kan lyftas Ãķver stora avstÃĨnd pÃĨ kort tid.
[06:08] JÃĪgarbattaljonenens kÃĪrna och frÃĪmsta taktiska enhet ÃĪr jÃĪgarplutonen.
[06:15] Det ÃĪr en lÃĪttrÃķrlig, sjÃĪlvstÃĪndig, och uthÃĨllig enhet, som utan tillfÃķrsel av fÃķrnÃķdenheter verkar under pÃĨfrestande klimat och terrÃĪngfÃķrhÃĨllanden.
[06:53] Utbildningen till jÃĪgarsoldat ÃĪr lÃĨng och bÃĨde fysiskt och mentalt krÃĪvande.
[07:05] Den enskilde jÃĪgarsoldaten ÃĪr jÃĪgarbattaljonens viktigaste byggsten.
[07:11] DÃĪrfÃķr ÃĪr bÃĨde dom psykiska och fysiska kraven pÃĨ individen mycket hÃķgt stÃĪllda.
[07:56] ArmÃĐns jÃĪgarbattaljon ÃĪr mÃĨngsidig, uthÃĨllig, och lÃĪtt - en unik fÃķrsvarsmaktsresurs i alla konfliktnivÃĨer.
[08:07] SmÃĨ enheter, svÃĨra fÃķrhÃĨllanden, stor effekt.
[00:17] The jÃĪgar battalion is the Army's foremost formation for combat in the depths of the opponent's grouping.
[00:25] The battalion has a specially developed ability to operate with high endurance in subarctic, desert, and mountain terrain.
[00:36] The battle in depth is a valuable and necessary complement to the brigades' battle.
[00:43] Ultimately, it is about influencing the opponent's ability to conduct warfare by degrading their moral and physical power in the long term.
[00:54] The jÃĪgar battle contributes to shaping the opponent for a decisive conclusion.
[01:05] The jÃĪgar battle is carried out with small and mobile units which, using various weapons and methods, interfere with, make difficult, and hinder the activities of the opponent.
[01:20] By operating in depth, jÃĪgarna continuously obtain information about the opponent, the terrain, or other conditions, thus contributing to the higher commander's situational awareness.
[01:34] The jÃĪgar battalion is therefore also an excellent intelligence resource.
[01:41] Terrain awareness - the hidden behavior combined with scattered grouping - helps the hunters to quickly and unexpectedly hit the opponent's boundary resources and ?? ?? goals far behind the front.
[02:33] The targets the jÃĪgar battalion is acting against may be the opponent's long-range combat systems, air defense, command sites, supply routes, and maintenance bases - all in accordance with the priorities of higher commanders.
[02:51] Soldier: It's lit here! (The fuze is lit!)
[03:13] In the long run, this contributes to the opponent being forced into countermeasures that bind resources and limit freedom of action over the entire operational depth.
[03:30] Soldier: Now in the field will be defensive charges - forward!
[03:35] Text: This side towards the enemy.
[03:58] In addition to solving reconnaissance and combat tasks, the platoon unit can also direct aircraft and artillery support.
[04:08] In order for the jÃĪgare's efforts to be led, coordinated, and to build further endurance - in the form of, for example, qualified medical care - special and specially adapted support functions are required.
[04:22] These functions are organizationally part of a reinforcement squadron in the battalion.
[04:28] Here are the specialists in management, communications, health care, alpine mobility, transport, and maintenance of jÃĪgar formations.
[04:40] The reinforcement squadron is part of the hunter battalion and is crucial for the jÃĪgar battalion system to reach full effect.
[05:05] The jÃĪgar battalion is never visible to the opponent but creates a breadth of threats that undermine the opponent's will and cripple his freedom of action.
[05:16] Soldier: I believe wind ?? ?? blows like three meters per second from ... eh ... three o'clock.
[05:23] For operational and tactical movements of jÃĪgar units, helicopters are often utilized where both personnel, equipment, and supplies can be lifted over large distances in a short time.
[06:08] The jÃĪgar battalion's core and foremost tactical unit is the jÃĪgar platoon.
[06:15] It is an easily mobile, independent, and enduring unit, which operates without the need for supplies under strenuous climates and terrain conditions.
[06:53] The training for jÃĪgar soldiers is long and both physically and mentally demanding.
[07:05] The individual jÃĪgar soldier is the jÃĪgar battalion's most important building block.
[07:11] Therefore, both the mental and physical demands of the individual are very high.
[07:56] The Army jÃĪgar battalion is versatile, enduring, and light - a unique resource at all levels of conflict.
[08:07] Small units, difficult conditions, great effect.
The "bent hat" is a style thing. Every grunt uses it because otherwise the flap will look out of shape, it doesn't have a real solid rim (like a cap), it's just very heavy cloth.
Also, Swedish winter camouflauge is just a very light thin layer of white "overcoat". It's not a solid uniform, it's just a thin coat and thin pants. You wear it on top of your normal uniform.
Interesting
@@CombatArmsChannel It was actually a pain in the ass when I served because you had to go through your combat vest, the zipper of the white coat and the zipper of your uniform coat to get to your water bottle :p
When it's -20C you can't carry your water bottle on your hip because the water would freeze so you had to carry it on a rope around your neck so it was close to your body :D
And don't get me started on what you had to go through if you needed to take a piss!
the ghillie suit suit i think is made out of the same materials as the barracuda netting so its probably mostly as a protection against enemy sensors.
U should check out the more secret Swedish sog unit. Special operation group. That what we send to conflicts.
Look at the marine commando svenska kustjÃĪgare
In general what the narrator says is that the jÃĪgers purpose is to go in behind enemy lines, gather information, harass, destroy AA, radar, heavy equipment and confuse the enemy to that the main force can gain the upper hand.
Also on why they used AT4 (pansarskott) instead of Carl Gustaf. Carl Gustaf is a "support" weapon that a "pair" uses (like a light machine gun), one carries the launcher someone else carries the ammo. But AT4 is a more "general" weapon, almost everyone carries an AT4.
Regarding the gear that is pretty much the standard equipment we use during basic training or what you can call it. If you're deployed the gear such as the vest is newer. But tbh I prefer the old school stuff since you're a lot more mobile. And in Afghanistan all the new stuff got extremely hot.
9:10 Must be hard to drive with the steering wheel at that angle lol.
this is basicly the pathfinder/saboteur/artillery spotting unit
Three is actually a series on the same channel on how these guys get their training
(It is in Swedish but you can turn on texting)
They are working behind enemy lines to disturb comunication/ destroy air defense and supplies lines so thats why they use the AT-4 at some missions instead of the CGâĶtravel light to hit ân run as quick as possible!
Basicly that bataljon is for, âInteruptingâ the enemy and slowing them down
The temperature differs a lot more here than it usually does in the US. In the south, during summer, it can get as hot as +35-40°C and during winter we don't get as much snow but it's around 0°C and it sometimes rains and this can make it even more difficult to maneuver in this climate than in snow and -20°C.. In the north during winter it can get as cold as -50°C (schools and workplaces are still open, mind you) and even in the north during summer it sometimes gets +20-25°C.
@choppa grizzly Yeah, right. +40°C in northern Wisconsin and -50°C in central Alaska? I don't think so, bud. Sweden is only about 1600km long and US Army send troops here to train with winter equipment. Isn't it cold enough in Alaska?
@choppa grizzly There is a reason US armed forces go to Sweden to train winter warfare when they want to train their elite units and tank units and not Alaska.
@choppa grizzly The difference is that you might get this difference in the same region depending on the season, not just geographic area, so within a few months you can go from -30 C to +20 C without having to travel which means that the troops have to be able to handle both as we do not decide when an enemy will show up. And they need to have equipment ready for both as well.
Sure USA has a wider range in total from northern Alaska to Miami or Hawaii, but not in the same area and also, since you are not really looking at land invasion, you have very different goals for your soldiers and can often use more specialized units that focus on one area to be exceedingly good at it and the choose the right unit for the situation.
In a defensive war, you do not get to choose as much :/
In Sweden, we have an elite unit that started in 2011. These have experience from various wars.
Watch this video
Swedish forces use a snow suit that's a lot like the rain suit but thinner and white so you don't change uniform you still carry the M90 underneath.
The at4 is swedish and is used alot in mobile squad when the goal is not to meet armour
Exactly and also much lighter and faster to get ready. So as a backup or reserve in case, its better to have a few AT4 distributed in the group, than one CG with ammo.
But the CG is more versatile with smoke and other more specialized ammo. But it also takes some time to get ready to fire and is usually operated by two people.
The AT4 is good for a surprise encounter.

It may have to be a montage style video because any training is hard to find
Right now May 19 in the north of Sweden, I'm mostly wearing Multicam as there is still some snow left, the ground vegetation is mostly beige, brown to faded green so Multicam is great. As time goes by, I'll wear Multicam pants for ground and wear M90 on top to match the terrain. When summer finally comes it's M90 all the way. Autumn M90/Multicam, them Multicam then snow pants, Multicam top, then full snow camo.
We have 2 colors in our uniform system.
Green - M90
Brown - M90K
The white one, the snow uniform, is something you put on over your existing uniform.
there's a 16 episode series with these guys and i would love it if you checked it out
No, those are K 3 Rangers.
The suit is not only for camouflage, its reducing the bodyheat.
great video
Nice, where they did the indoorpractice is in my hometow, and also where i did my militarytraining back in the day.
React to our Air Force, or search for "jÃĪgarsoldat serie", that's good shit
Send him an actual link.
The ghillie: In sweden we make our own ghillies when at war, just like the camo on our helmets, we make them from real branshes etc.
The ghillie suits you see are standard issue. They are not really used by JÃĪgare who have it as their primary task to stay concealed.
They make their own and blend in perfectly with the environment down to the last fungus.
Again, them putting those on was purely for video purposes.
In sweden we have many different types of JÃĪgare which is important to point out. The ones in the video are the Artic jÃĪgare whoÂīre mainly doing recon operations but also some DA. On the other hand their "cousins" are the airbourne assult rangers/jÃĪgare. These are a type of JÃĪgare that focus on DA rather than recon. They can still solve the same type of mission but theyÂīre specialized differently. Myself IÂīm from the latter. There are the parashute rangers, coastal rangers, air force rangers (list goes on). Of these the parashute and artic rangers are the more recon-oriented ones, the airbourne assult and coastal rangers are more DA and the air force rangers are more of a long range counter-sabotage/espionage group.
