Sweden will also donate an undisclosed number of Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) used in ground-based and air defense systems, 155mm artillery ammunition and resources to maintain previously donated equipment, as well as its entire stock of PBV 302 armored tracked personnel carriers to support the formation of new Ukrainian units.
The Swedish Defence Research Agency will help Ukraine establish its own defense research institute. Sweden will also strengthen Ukraine’s command and control capability by donating terminals with satellite communications subscriptions.
“The donation will entail a temporary decrease in Sweden’s defense capability, which will be addressed by procuring additional S 106 GlobalEye aircraft and advancing previous orders for two new GlobalEye aircraft. Sweden will also purchase new armored vehicles and missiles to replace the donated ones,” the ministry said.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Sweden has provided 43.5 billion krone (€3.8 billion) to Ukraine. It allows Ukraine to use those weapons on Russian soil.
