The government decided that Sweden should send aid to Turkey after the catastrophic earthquake. During Thursday, a C-17 plane took off from the air base in Kallinge.
On board were, among other things, special search groups, a trauma group and a medical team.
– Among other things, we send dogs that are trained to use their noses as sensors to find people, and personnel that are trained to search for and rescue individuals in demolished buildings and dangerous rubble, says Carl-Johan Edström, head of the Swedish Armed Forces’ operations management, in a press release.
