I mean, Sweden is busy replacing its old Gripen 39 C fighters with the much improved Gripen 39 E. I think the replacement won't be done until 2026. And Finland just ordered a bunch of F-35's. Stands to reason these nations aren't going to war just yet. You can't play until you get your toys. Lazy Monk |

All of Europe has its military forces in a poor shape. Old equipment, lack of munitions... I think what we are seeing now is the Big Scare that forces Europe to rearm over the coming years. Then the real fun begins. As stated, Sweden should be ready to go to war around 2026, as will Finland. Germany would probably also need this much time to get their shit in order for battle. I could be wrong though. I often am. Last Edited by Lazy Monk on 07/05/2022 07:01 AM Lazy Monk |

Their geographic location all but guarantees they will be a battlefield when all hell breaks loose. Staying neutral was their only chance, and they blew it. Sweden will probably see some action in the northern region, as part of the fun and games around the arctic. But most of Sweden will probably just be suffering indirectly. Lazy Monk |
