The regiment commander on Saab’s establishment in Boden: “We are more on our toes”

It was during Monday that Commander-in-Chief Micael Bydén directed a clear call to the Swedes: Prepare for war.

He believes that Sweden is not sufficiently prepared for the consequences of a war situation.

Better prepared in case of war

The regiment commander on I19 in Boden believes that Saab’s establishment in Boden can be a step in the right direction. That they get a higher availability when the company has to contribute with special expertise when it comes to defense equipment.

– We have a lot of material we use a lot. This means that it breaks down, needs to be fixed and updated, says Nils Johansson.

“Gets a heavier role in the defense”

Municipal councilor Claes Nordmark (S) is positive about the establishment. He believes that the company’s choice to locate in Boden, which has an arctic climate, is a strength.
