  • Jaha, där ryker vår neutralitet...

  • TA LITTEE!!

  • viva la kosovo!

  • @Mrsecurityguardian the swedish army never had a chanse angenst the nazis and we knew that. Now, as à Guy sad under your comment, Sweden is the second biggest weapon seller in the world. We constructed a LOT of your weapons in the US arsenal, like the AT-4 replacing m-72-law as à anti-tank weapon, the 50 caliber M107 Barret semi automatic sniper rifle, g3, Ak5 is yst some of the weapons we invented and US army use.

  • @RunicArvid98 We are the second largest weapons exporter per capita, but we are far from the second biggest if you look at the total amount of weapons exported. Also the Barret is American, the G3 is German (and the US doesn't use it) and the AK5 is originally a Belgian FN FNC, we only modified it a bit and the US doesn't use that either.

  • @RunicArvid98

    Sweden swore neutrality after the Swedish empire 1300A.D, that's why they did not participate in WW2. And if Sweden wouldnt've been neutral, all the forces from Sweden Finland Norway and possibly Denmark could've attacked together.

  • @daijme I hope you mean 1721 A.D, but we didnt have neutrality as guideline until 1814. As for WW2, the northen countries whit exception of Finland, had demilitarized so heavly that they didnt have mutch to do anything whit. Coud not have done anything to change the outcome of the winter war, and no chance in hell to defend against a german invasion.

  • We in the USA are proud to work with the Swedes and we respect Sweden greatly.

  • @SniperShot891 YAY Second nice american!

  • Comment removed

  • just think about the american army supplied by Swedish weapons and military training we could be the strongest allies in the world

    Great that we finally can work together its a big relief that our army's can talk and supply each other in hard times like war.

  • @kurtsson95 not to mention our tanks.

    Sweden has the best Tank in the world and the best submarine in the world ATM

  • but ak5??? i saw a ak5.

  • and this not looks like swedish soldiers

  • @falkeulv2 They are swedish soldiers. I can hear the accent.... I am from sweden.. :)

  • @falkeulv2

    They're wearing the unique swedish m90 patterned uniform, they're armed with Swedish AK5 assault rifles, and they have Swedish names. What's not Swedish about them?

  • beretta isent american

  • @doker410 Well...Then you have to fact that we are members of EU and yeah...If a member of the EU is attacked. Every member of the European Union has to respond and aid that country in other words...WW3

  • Men skit i kosovo för fan, det är serbiens punkt slut!!

  • the us soldiers will not use the m-16 so much longer... i think they will use the acr .. if that is the right name ...

  • @sweking22 No, the ACR programe is scrapped, long gone. The H&K416 is tried out right now, but nothing is decided yet.

  • Sveriges cammo är grönare än andras O.o

  • @Multi1337Elite Det stämmer, det beror på att vi lever i ett land med mycket och intensiv grönska sommartid.

  • @Multi1337Elite de är för att sverige är grönt och skönt :D

  • 0:27 why the fuck is he wearing wood camo when he is in desert? -.-

  • @doker410 hahaha good one but the Leopard 2 or STRV 122 is the best tank in the history so far.... and sweden has better warriors fewer but stronger. i heard the US army is taking in student that faild school and that is not good in sweden you have to have good grades.

  • @AkaHobo na it doesnt matter if u have good grades or not :P my brothers friend was in the army :)

  • @mattirang3d it does man. if good grades you are a smart person wich means solve problems faster and understanding the education better

    otherwise is what you saying is that a person who suck in school who just finish lets say the marinecore wins against a guy with good grades who just finnish the Coastal rangers????

  • @mattirang3d omg du är ju förfan svensk back me up!

    tycker du bättre om USA?!!!

  • @AkaHobo jag skulle hällre vilja vara i usas arme än sveriges, jaa :)

  • @mattirang3d Dom slåss bara för att slåss.. Sverige har ett större syfte och bättre vapen och är bättre tränade.

  • @doker410 Sorry,but the US tanks aren't the most high-tech actually.Unless you mean the cutting edge engine that keeps breaking down.

    And I'm not saying that the Swedish army is better than the US army. I'm saying that the Swedish individual soldiers are better than the US ones. Of course Sweden would loose. But then again the US wouldn't attack Sweden because it would be really stupid seeing as Sweden manufactures some of the US equipment ;)

  • @doker410 The problem is the quantity, the Swedish army is getting too small (It has around 60 000 soldiers atm) And the government are decreasing the Military-budget even more now -_-

  • @Ze3g0 WRONG.

    No more cuts are scheduled. I talked to a bit of an expert on the subject within Moderaterna. He claimed that the goal is to have 50 000 professional soldiers, plus another 30 000 people within the Homeguard. Plus that the Homeguard is going to receive additional funds for more training. The reason they can do that is because they're not going to disband any more units or weapon systems. I mean, just scrapping the still very modern Viggen cost 3 000 000 000 SEK!

  • @hogge87 Well, I got my info from a recorded pressconference held by ÖB (ÖB=Överbefälet=Supreme commander) wich was posted on Försvarets (The Swedish military) website. I take the word of the man who commands the military and helps plan the whole ordeal over the so called experts any day.

    Alltough now that I think about it you could be right. The goal I remember was 50k soldiers in total, but I could have missineterpeted it. If true, I admit my mistake.

  • @Ze3g0 When was this press conference, first of all? Secondly, ÖB can only speak of what the army has received clearance to do from the government. The 50 000 + 30 000 was something that Moderaterna are planning during the next mandate.

  • @hogge87 A pressconference=A informational display for the media usually informing about future plans or recent events. Normally followed by questions.

    ÖB spoke of what was planned last time the budget was made. What Moderaterna are planning to do next mandate period is irrelevant. (Well not now that they are in power once again but I hope you get the message)

  • @doker410 Really? The average Swedish soldier has some of the best training in the world (allso better than the Americans) The MBT of Sweden has been appointed the best in the world by Discovery channel (there are better ones in some aspects but summed up it's acknowledged as the best) Sweden develops some of the best weapons systems in the world. They allso have pretty good (not the best) fighter jet.

  • Kosowo Serbia . Polska

  • Good news for all the swedes today they said on the news that we are going to train 8000 soldiers ayear thats a good improvement.

  • Improvement?

    Conscription during peacetime will be abolished on the 1 July this year. And the result will probably be similar to other countries that have abolished conscription, they have had problems recruiting enough people and the quality of soldiers might also decrease.

    With a professional army we will never reach the quantity we need to defend the entire country. It will also cost more money and the armed forces has already had economical problems.

  • So I'm afraid there's not much improvement in sight.

  • Comment removed

  • @jimmyn89SWE But what country would invade us now? a proffesional army is much stronger then a conscript.

    look at it this way: Would you rather have30-50,000 proffesional soldiers that are hard trained and are elite. Or would you have 100-150,000 skinny, fat and not that trained soldiers?

  • It's quite hilarious to watch Americans and Swedes alike comparing "Hemvärnet" to the US Navy Seals! Good to see Sweden and USA working as one, nonetheless!

  • @Demolatorn when .. ?

  • im a swede

    vilket betyder "jag är en kålrot"

  • hahha lol!

  • haha rätt XD

  • Sweden and england USa we is the best :)

  • we are finally working together

  • "In my newspaper "Hemvärnet" they say exactly the same thing." Yeah cos everything they write in the paper is true? Do you mean to tell me that the homeguard uses eq. that is better then for ex. US navy seals? Assult rifles from the 60's, MMG from the 50's, both of witch way "too much" and "too long". They use eq. that is at best the same as the swedish military, a lot of it is old stuff rejected by the swedish army. There is a reason that the homeguard is a sort of last line of defence....

  • its true that the homeguard is acting like a last line of defence but thats not their only job. one of their jobs is to secure and hold strategical positions... And i can tell you that the homeguard does not have bad stuff, they are trained get atleast as good training as the army

  • the funny thing with this is that the M249 is a Minimi, just like the swedish KSP90

  • yeah, i just saw the swedish soldiers now haha sorry:P cool vid though!!

  • Comment removed

  • 5.56 is accurate, but the bullet is very light in dense foliage. Heavier bullets ARE better in forests. Swedes (7.62 x 51) and Finns (7.62 x 39) like heavier bullets with more accurate single-shot fire.

    It is really stupid to waste bullets in vain. Learn the soldiers to shoot. Life is not a movie.

  • Basicly a litlle stupid

    M249 = KSP90 kinda the same gun, and i think KSP gunners are already trained with it.

    also some people learn to use and shoot an m16 at basic training in Sweden to familiarise foreign weapons.

  • för det är dåms kläder S:

  • MVG i svenska? :)

  • haha ^^

  • Skrota skiten!

  • m16 sux

    AK 5 4 the win!

  • Dum fråga kanske men varför har de gröna fält uniformer på sig ? :S

  • SWEDEN D:

  • WTF fuck you were do you come from?

  • m9 is the coolest gun

  • they also use G3

  • yes, ak4 modified g3 with an aimpoint

  • G3/ak4 is not in use any more, only by the volentair soldiers ( Hemvärnet) the army only use the ak5 ( FN FNC MOD)

  • sweden is the shit !!!!!!

  • why

  • Maby becouse we're one of the most succesed countries in the world? :)

  • Sweden rules

  • Yap, though the immigrant muslims doesn't.

  • I heard there are dozens of them coming :(

  • Ya, but not as much anymore.

    May Israel stand tall!

  • You mean they stopped to come? :D

  • No, but we've managed to make the imigration of those lower. Not low enough though.

  • Korvmackan2424 ., you didn´t mention that Finland have 800 artillery cannons and Sweden got 48 ;D ,, The finnish defend minister has criticized Sweden and requested them to build up a much bigger military army in many years ,. they have actually a bigger army then Sweden in mostly points ,,

  • the muslims choose to come to sweden dumbass. your not handling our shit lol, we let in anybody who comes to our shores........and, Your government made the decision to put those troops in afganistan........... and you did insult american troops by saying I think was "americans are useless idiots who cant shoot the A5......." blah blah blah, geez your a moron your too young to know what the hell your talking about, so just stop talking

  • armies counted.

    WEAPONS ARE NOT TOYS!!!!

  • Swedish army is a joke, they never took part in WW1 & WW2 They might have the coolest "toys" but they wouldnt be able to beat their little brother Finland. Finnish soldiers killed 226,875 soviet soldiers during WW2 same time with only 26,662 casualties and we kept our country. Soviet union had 6,541 tanks and 3,880 airplanes against Finlands 30 tanks and 180 airplanes. Finnish army has still 350.000 soldiers being one of the biggest armies in Europe, being 3 times bigger than all of the nordic

  • so it's better to join a war there huge numbers of men and women dies, rather than be neutral and avoid unnecessary deaths... i know you don't have a choice then one country attacks you buy if you have the opportunity, its just stupid to join it...

  • yeah then what do u think sweden can do to u? besides if we attack u there a big chance russia will help because ure mocking attitude.

  • Remember that there was a lot of Swedes that volunteered to fight alongside the Finns in WW2 to help them from the invading Soviets. And remember that Sweden has several hundreds more tanks and IFV's than Finland (340 Leopard 2 compared to Finlands 91, 509 CV90 compared to Finland 102) and so on and so on. And Finlands main assault rifle is a joke; you better use the AK-47. And last but not least, Sweden is ranked 26th and Finland 40th by expenditures. To conclude, you don't know shit!

  • So we should not appear on the international military actions just because a stupid finn says so?

    (note. You are stupid,not all finns)

  • Do you know that sweden has the third best army in the world?

    The swedish army is nog big but dam it's proffersional.

    Our Swedish homeguard has won over Navy seals and our Jas 39 gripen have won over the american F16.

    Sweden army cost about 40 billion years, The finn have only 21 billion.

  • "and our Jas 39 gripen have won over the american F16."

    Well they should be better considering Gripen was introduced in 1996 and the F-16 in 1978.

    However a Hungarian Gripen mananged to "shot" down an Italian Eurofighter Typhoon (introduced in 2003) during an exercise.

  • Here's a quote from an Hungarian Gripen pilot:

    Other aircraft couldnt see us not on radar, not visually and we had no jammers of our own with us. Our weapons and tactics were limited by Red Force rules, and in an exercise like this the Red Force is always supposed to die, but even without our AMRAAMs and data links we got eight or 10 kills, including a Typhoon. Often we had no AWACS or radar support of any kind, just our regular onboard sensors

  • And Hungaria is hyring the Gripen aircrafts from Sweden.

  • @ RIKTIGTPOLTIK Sweden has a very good military, but its not ranked 3rd strongest in the world.

  • ok define 'best'....best in what way?....just curious

  • It was from someone organisition who mapped the world's armed forces in terms of equipment and training. In number 3 came Sweden because we are currently moving from a invasion defense to the a international army.

    Our Swedish Homeguard has better equipment than many special forces around the world, or something similar

  • not sure if that info is accurate, I heard somewhere that Sweden was cutting their defense spending...I could be wrong, but if they are number three thats impressive.

  • Today, our army gets 40.1 billion skr (Is the same as Finland and Norway's defense budget together) but most of it goes directly to develop our weapons and equipment and thus make it so that our defense is very expensive and very modern. However, it is not enough to defend the country from an attack, but in foreign service and other tasks, the Swedish soldiers are among the best.

  • you are correct the Swedish goverment is cutting the funds from the Swedish army but that doesnt mean that Sweden has a bad army.. Sweden has one of the most modern tecnological army in the world.. we have a small army for sure but its a very strong army. The Swedish army is one of the most well trained armies in the world.

  • I already knew that buddy, and I hope it stays that way too..

  • Snacka inte skit.

  • Yey did my 11 months at LG

  • Rycker in där i november i år, jag :-)

  • håppas de går bra

  • @skrivbok  LYCKA TILL!!!!!! : )

  • @gasmask120 Tack så mycket!!! :)

  • @Gurkmomma Did you know that russia coult take over sweden in 48 hours? Our army is not good

  • @korvarLex

    If Russia had problems with the poor country Finland (at that time), they will have problems with Sweden. Damn Russia couldn't win against Afghanistan.

  • s long oil is for you Norge, then its zsuomi and Sweden and Äland....

  • @korvarLex and as Gurkmomma said, we have a very small army for sure. And yes we wouldnt stand an invasion. But our army is still one of the best in the world

  • @Gurkmomma The thing is, Sweden has the tech-, to dominate the world. I must think that the "melt down!" in the swedish armed forces does not affect them,,,,,,,,, but it does. Is Sweden a peace force to talkabout?

    Dont do commercials, Sweden if U dont know why u'r there..... (angry in all places) Go in battle or go home! (AFGH).

  • @Gurkmomma Thats right! Sweden are also one of the biggest country in the world to export weapons. So that means that we have the newest weapons and technology.

  • @Gurkmomma Damn right we do! We produce most of the hi-tech army material thats out there :)

  • @Gurkmomma Haha, Albania could invade Sweden and probably succed too! Your comment is a joke.

  • @Dejanoz @Dejanoz @Dejanoz yes you are right, Albania may invade us but i doubt it that they will succed and that they want to invade us. what I do not understand is that you are saying that my comment is a joke, I would like to know why my comment is a joke could you please tell me that, my good sir/mam

  • @Gurkmomma You portrait the swedish army as to be superior to the rest of the world and glorify something that has no experience.. when was the last time Sweden was at war? Like 200 years ago? Haha, that is why I mock your comment.

  • @Dejanoz I have not said anything about the Swedish army to be superrior to another country nor its army, Yes Sweden have not been in war for over 200 years that is correct but we still have the know how. as I have said beforeThe Swedish army IS one of the most technilogicaly moder army in the world and also one of the most well trained armies in the world. we may not have so much experience of being in a war abroad, but be so sure we are experts of defending our own country if the need arises.

  • @Gurkmomma dont forget we are the 2nd exporter of weapons IN THE WORLD. we also made a US fav CG and AT4

  • yea sweden

  • @Gurkmomma I just love how everybody claims their army/SOF etc are the best in the world :)

  • @DanishRecce

    Funny enough he never said it was the best in the world.

  • @zlayzer

    Funny enought u havent read all the replies i can see :)

  • @Gurkmomma ur soo right

  • @Gurkmomma Fan ja (Fuck yeah)

  • @Gurkmomma Swedish army and Finnish army FTW!

  • @Gurkmomma anyone heard of bofors?

  • Comment removed

  • Hahaha you're so full of shit, stop embarrassing us!! "better equipment than many special forces"??

  • Thats the truth.

    In my newspaper "Hemvärnet" they say exactly the same thing.

  • Of course you would have ask yourself how you define "better equipment", but the facts are that the Swedish Home Guard is armed with a license built version of the H&K G3A3 assault rifle equipped with an Aimpoint red dot sight, support gunners uses the FN MAG (I believe it is designated M240 in the US) and DMRs and snipers are trained on the L96A1 AW (by some attributed as the best sniper rifle in the world).

  • First of all no we didn't participate during those wars.

    But we did send Swedish volunteers to Finland both in ww1 and the winter war, including sending supplies and stuff oh and not to mention helping defending Turku.

    And I also wish we could have done more of course to help our brethren.

    Oh and by the way what's with the attitude I mean c'mon we all know that Stalin failied his campaign to conquer your country, you don't need to boast about it...geez.

  • God Bless America and her Allies.

  • Sweden is not allied with the US...

  • Well its a UN alliance. That way were allies.

  • the US is proud to work with Sweden

  • haha american useless idiots, US soldiers cant even shoot a AK5 hahaha so sweet, go to bed you are useless you wont have the balls to war anyway hahah

  • at least our weapons arent in the hands of terrorists world wide

    still it's a good weapon...

  • hahahah lol good joke

  • grow upp,ak-47 will never fail but it is not good in any other way. AK-47 is stonagen and dont say anything you cant fullfilled. Rus taking over europe and usa...ha...ha...ha....idiot.

  • Please don't dirt them back. Be a better man and take a hit without weeping.

  • they were shooting the AK5 fine little kid....and in case you didnt know the US is at war........what would know about any of this shit anyway your still going thru puberty lol

  • well, like i said... americans were attacked by a couple of cowards so they invaded their country to eliminate the threat, we in sweden have not been attacked by thoose people so why should we also be dragged into this fight?

    it's your mess (if you are an american) so why should we care?

    BTW all of the civilians caught in the crossfire needed to go somewhere and guess who has taken care of them?

  • since when did anyone try to force sweden into this war? what the hell are talking about, this is just a UN based alliance they do military training together sometimes.......Listen kid you really dont know what your talking about, so that means you shouldnt make retarded comments about american soldiers......................­......and the muslims are becoming a problem in Sweden, take Malmo for example.....and sadly its going to get much worse

  • well, they are not a problem from my point of view.. BTW malmo have let in more Muslims than USA and Canada combined, taking care of your shit......

    and yes Swedish volunteers is sent to Afghanistan as a contribute to the ISAF

    (377 soldiers deployed)

    and i haven't said anything bad about American soldiers.. why did you think that?

  • Sweet Jesus... Scunnder, if you want to discuss something please remember to mention that you represent only yourself, not the whole of Sweden... You're brainwashed with UN propaganda

  • Yeah i know that... plz quote when i have said something like/similar to "and the whole sweden thinks like this"

    and what kind of information have the UN stuffed my brain with?

  • Why would we want to go to war? So you have to start a war to be a real man? i feel sorry for you for thinking like that.

    Im kinda proud of the swedish record of 200+ years without a war...

  • ak5 mags goes into m16s which is pretty cool =)

  • Svensk soldat passar inte med M-4:n

  • ak5 an är väl fan dubbelt så tung.

  • AK5 är ungefär 4 kg.

    M16 är 3,2 - 3,5 broende på utrusning tror jag.

    Däremot känns ak5:an som en metallkloss tycker jag, jämfört med M16 som KÄNNS mycket lättare med tanke på utformningen.

    Dessutom tycker jag att M16 är lite smidigare. Men det är ju bara jag.

  • Värt att notera att magasinet på de amerikanska vapnena är aluminium, vilket minskar totala vikten :)

  • m-16 is very accurate, ya! to our swedish allies!

  • He just said so to be nice :-)

    AK5 is better I think, at least with the Swedish Aimpoint sight...

    CHEERS!

  • Omg lol m16 is the worst wepón evhar why do u still have it buy the FAMAS!

  • Love swedish english.
