All too true, as I just had indicated in an nother thread some days ago. Examples: conventionol subs, stealth frigates (or was it corvettes? I always mix these up), IFVs, and what you turned our Leopard2A5 into (Strv122). Also certain times of artillery and tank/IFV gun ammunition.

All in all not too shabby! I am not really hungry for taking a bite off Sweden... :p

Sweden is like an island, it can invest in its Air Force and Navy wich are in good shape. Altough i doubt that all Gripens ordered will be seen in the Swedish Air Force.The Army has been practically dismanteled and the commander of the Swedish defence forces stated once that they rely on Finland on this.
