Sweden must take the opportunity to equip when Russia is admitted to the war in Ukraine.

This is what Defense Minister Pål Jonson (M) claims.

– We know that you have high ambitions from the Russian side to be able to pose a military threat to our part of Europe even, he tells TV4.

Pål Jonson describes the security policy situation as “very serious” In an interview with TV4.

In four years, Sweden has doubled its defense budget and last year the Swedish Armed Forces were given a clear sign to procure defense equipment for SEK 126 billion.

– There are major investments, but it is also important that these investments are translated into military ability. Because if it was previously so in the defense area that we had plenty of time but bad money, on the contrary, it is now, Pål Jonson tells TV4.
