The Swedish Armed Forces posted a series of videos on YouTube, called "When the war begins", in which Russia is implicitly a potential enemy.
In total, the Swedish military department showed five videos, not counting the trailer, which reflect the main points of a potential war: "An Uncertain future", The "gray zone", "The battlefield of the future", "Universal protection" and " What is worth protecting?» .
Common to all the videos is the issue of global warming, which increases international interest in the Arctic as a valuable source of natural resources and transport corridor. Based on the video, the Swedish Armed Forces are confident that the war of the future will be mainly hybrid, and one of the main allies of the country will be the United States.
In October 2020, Breaking Defense reported that in the first quarter of this year, the US Army will test the 155-millimeter Swedish self-propelled artillery Archer, which is designed to fight such an advanced enemy as Russia.
