Sweden, having joined NATO in March 2024, is leveraging its unique military capabilities, particularly its submarines, to enhance the alliance's strength against threats posed by Russia. Defense Minister Pål Jonson asserted that Sweden's quiet, efficient submarines are particularly suited for the Baltic Sea, marking a significant shift from Sweden's previous neutral stance. Military experts point out that these capabilities improve NATO's positioning in potential conflicts, especially in limiting Russian naval maneuvers, thus solidifying Sweden's role as a vital ally in the region.
"Since joining NATO, Sweden has unique capabilities to strengthen the alliance, particularly through its advanced submarines that are ideal for operating in the Baltic Sea."
"In the case of war, NATO will be in a much better position in the Baltic Sea due to Sweden's submarines and their ability to limit Russian activities."
