Sweden always has Finland's back and Finland does the same for Estonia. Latvia and Lithuania are the only true Balts in a linguistic sense but they always roll with Estonia and all three have a strong security relationship with all of the Nordic countries. The Baltics might be tiny but they punch above their weight and they form a potent bloc along with Poland (plus the rest of the Intermarium) and the Nordics.
Actually, Finland was a colony of Sweden for hundreds of years until Sweden lost the war to Russia and this territory became part of Russia. It was then that Finland appeared . Before that, there is no such country
Did you ever notice that most of the population in Finland speak English. I think they are very Western and looking toward the future while Russia dwells on the past!
@thetimekillerx What are you trying to say? Do you mean that countries which does not speak English language are non civilized? This thought shows how imperialist and racist you are. In the following countries people don't speak English or only hotel staff and tourist guides speak basic English the list is China, Gambia, Saudi Arabia, Malawi, Uganda, Italy, Ukraine, Russia, Algeria, Argentina, Spain, France, Georgia, Yemen, Chile, Albania, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Swaziland, Colombia, Tanzania many places in Japan and India, many more to list. Do you say people in these countries are non civilized. The reason for spread of English is not because of civilization it's because of cruel colonization of British, who invaded other countries and killed, looted, plundered, raped, slaved but you call themselves as civilized and others as non civilized, shame on you.
NATO was created against Soviet Union - Communist Expansionism . Since SU and Communism do not exist anymore, there is no real role for NATO. But US is using NATO to submerge Russia ...NATO was a total failure in Afghanistan the last 10+ years . They could not defeat Taliban which ironically the USA created during 79-89 against the Soviet-baked Kabul!
Yes its mindbuggling . All those joint manouvers and turks never seemed to bother before . As well as finnish and Swedish fighting with other natomembers i various conlictzones
In the past (not in the recent) Russia has also done training exercises with NATO. That alone does not make a country part of NATO... (Switzerland and Austria have trained NATO Specialists and heli pilots in mountain warfare and flying in mountinous regions for decades, doesn't make them NATO countries either. )

People must be constantly reminded that NATO is a defensive organization. If Russia were a good boy, no one would bother it. But Russian blood is rich with brutal imperialist ambitions and being peaceful to its small neighbors has been historically impossible to do.
You're so naive and brainwashed. All war departments are called defense departments. It doesn't mean it's for defense only. Lookup the wars NATO was involved in. These wars weren't defensive at all. How is Afghanistan a threat to NATO, yet NATO was in Afghanistan. And NATO was also in Iraq, where US lies about WMD bombed that place to the stone age and murdered millions. These actions aren't defensive.
@@bvang8370 Don't mix NATO with NATO members. Did NATO declare on Iraq or was it USA that did it? Australia was in it too so that's really not NATO. Then Afghanistan, did NATO attack or was it some terrorist thing that hit USA. Did NATO retaliate or was it USA and some of its allies?(all NATO members didn't attack).

And my country (Germany, NATO-vassall and U.S. outpost No. one in the world) was part of the NATO occupation of Afghanistan for 20 bloody years - while, following international Law of Nations, the Sovjet Red Army was, once more, invited/called for by the Afghan regime of 1978 which was about to build a laizist, socialist Nation while the US and NATO members fueled the civil war turning it into an international proxy war by supporting the very islamist terrorists with weaponry and intel they then started to oppress in the 20 years of occupation after the "vengeance bombing" of Afghanistan following the Saudi financed and organized attack of 9/11 in October 2001 ..... The facts aren't pretty, while they still are facts, and International Law of Nations _does_ have a factual paragraph for military support following an invitation/ask for said support from an elected government, while the same very international Law of Nations does not know "regime change" or supporting/weaponizing colorful terrorist groups and civil unrest like it happened in Ukraine in 2003/2004 and once more in 2013/2014, the latter widely known as "Euro-Maidan", which was a violent putsch then Vice President Joe B. orchestrated with the support of a lot of U.S. agencies and organizations like Soros' "open society foundation", an international terror-financing front office the U.S. services use in a lot of countries (also financing/organizing civil unrest against Lukaschenko in Belarus after his reelection in 2020 for example).

Excellent analysis of the real impact of Finland and Sweden joining NATO. I’ll start watching videos on Asia to get a better understanding of what is happening in India, China, etc.
Some errors. The submarine in your animation comes from St Petersburg, not Kaliningrad. Your red coastal line goes across Kaliningrad which is part of Russia. Submarines can go from Kaliningrad to Denmark without going through NATO, so what you said isn't true.
The line is red because the port of Kaliningrad is not safe now Polish waters that they have sensors that can pick it up. Also if it leaves that port, satellites see it, it is obviously going somewhere, and there is no where it can go undetected. Though you're right the line is wrong and one would expect better from a news org.
It is self destructive move ... West is just playing with finland and sweden ... Remember neighbor can't be changed ... If west was so powerful it could have save ukraine but as u can see west is just a propaganda and mouthful Anyway just remember one thing History do repeat and presently US is repeating same by using europe as war ground and making huge profit out of it. Only difference is UK acting similar to US being a NON EU member. suffering will be for those who are neighbors to russia !!!
Why would NATO suddenly want to Attack Russia? I don't think Finland or NATO would wish to attack Russia, unless Russia decides to do something absolutely stupid. Finland is Worried about Russian attack that's why it wants to join NATO, and what Russia has done in the ukrainian, who can blame Finland and Sweden. I don't think Russia has anything to be worried about unless it's planing more invasions.
The Baltic sea is pretty shallow but some salinity effects are making tracking submarines somewhat difficult. The Kola is where they have the big submarines and a lot of military installations so that may be more critical for Russia. Likely they will have no way to avoid secret rockets, cruise missiles, and drones launched from the rocks of Finland, Sweden, and Norway. NATO is for defense but in the Russian mindset, they will have to meet this challenge and pay the price which might be substantial.
@@mitchyoung93 Take a wider context and tell me you think the stop of the Serbian atrocities was not a good thing. It should have been done earlier and more forcefully. And then again Belgrade was not terror bombed as the Russians do. Still, it is correct to question some decisions but please be factual.
@@bjrnhjortshjandersen1286 1) Serbia was terror bombed at least as much as the Russians have done (I would argue most Russian strikes have been pintpoint). A civilian train was hit. Bridges were destroyed, the Chinese embassy hit etc. 2) 'Serbia atrocities' were grossly exaggerated, esp with regard to the 1999 NATO bombing (my main concern). In fact the KLA/UCK was in a war against Federal Republic of Yugoslavia forces and committed acts of terror on the internationally recognized territory of FRY. Yugoslavia responded with a conventional counter-insurgency campaign. Naturally people started moving out of the conflict zone, but this was spun as 'ethnic cleansing'. 3) I had a front seat view to all of this, NATO not only acted as the KLA/UCK strategic bomber command, but as the KLA/UCK tactical air arm.
@@mitchyoung93 The Serbian atrocities were sickening - and well documented. Russian bombing has been anything but 'pin point' - 30k civilians killed - or are you saying that Putin aimed specifically at them? Serbia was doing exactly what Hitler did and Putin is doing - expanding territory and not giving a damn about civilian lives.
@@mitchyoung93 I seem to remember Sarajevo being shelled indiscriminately and children being killed by snipers. As well as the Srebrenica massacre. Also, supporting a civilian war against Croatians and Bosnians. I know some of the people involved in that war. Serbian nationalism was destructive and the military was used as a tool of oppression. Not that the Serbs were the only ones. NATO was very reluctant but the atrocities by supported militant groups became too much for the public opinion to accept. The widespread "pinpoint" Russia shelling and bombing of civilian areas in Ukraine is also not acceptable. Actually, it is even worse when this is done deliberately. The support for Ukraine is overwhelming and for Serbia to be siding with Russia just gives a good reason to keep them out of the EU.
Russia/Soviet control of the Baltic Sea has been at best by the skin of there teeth. Much like the Black Sea Fleet, is virtually land lock due to other Nations control access to this Sea.
Something i have never understood is why some people put a lot of importance on the Black sea fleet . Yes its useful now but for anything involving NATO its a lame duck
Erdogan would be crazy for blocking Finland and Sweden joining NATO. In limiting Russian access to the Baltic, Turkey controls the only easy access to trade Russia has, through the Black Sea. This would make Turkey much more powerful than it already is currently.
hugokatz Any nation opposing FIN/SWE move is crazy? You need to expect and accept "No" for an answer at times. Not every nation needs to sing lullaby to NATO.

An interesting and informative video. Thank you. However, St. Petersburg (Kronstadt) is the old Baltic Fleet submarine base. It is now in Kaliningrad Oblast.
Baltic sea is done game over for Putin and let's face it the Russian fleet looks like it still has ships from Peter the greats time. It's 90% a museum peace fleet anyway and with Russia's economy is never going to be anything else. So this is probably a good thing for Putin and he should thank Nato as he couldn't afford the Baltic fleet anyway. To think Putin caused all this makes me smile.
From wikipedia: In contrast to the three other Russian fleets, the Baltic Fleet's submarine capabilities are extremely modest with just one older Kilo-class boat deployed in 2020, largely for training purposes.
Look at that map again and see that alot of the boarder Finland have is against a neighbour country that's have a history to invade none NATO neighbours. So you probobly understand why they just in some month after Russia invaded another neighbour country want more protection like NATO. And have not Russia a Huge millitary and Nuke protection? Why would NATO attack them and destroy the Earth?
Russia is NOT surrounded by NATO countries - for example China isn't a NATO country. Russia's problem is that it occupied many countries in Eastern Europe after WWII and strangled freedom of speech, action and thought. When the Soviet Union collapsed these countries naturally wanted to ensure that Russia could never again invade and control them - so they joined the one organization that could ensure mutual protection against Russian aggression - NATO. So far from Russia being nervous, they are instead beligerant, aggressive and paranoid. They are also the aggressors in Ukraine and have fed their population a litany of lies and half-truths to explain away the unpalatable fact that they are acting like fascists, whilst simultaneously denying their own population access to the real truth. Only someone who is niave or perhaps a pro-Russian troll could believe otherwise
Russia's not nervous about Nato to its west - Putin is just a deluded and paranoid old man that's the worst thing that happened to Russia since Stalin.
Russia being nervous about NATO is like a bank robber being nervous about banks' security guards: it makes robbing banks much riskier. But if you _don't_ intend to rob a bank, then you _don't care_ about those guards.
turkey will veto, I hope one country in nato which has sense vetoes such a move for the sake of humanity, am not from russia am from the west my self and I object such provocation to a country armed with nuclear bombs
NATO is not a defense organization. As a matter of fact, it regularly engages in war outside of the North Atlantic region where it gets its name. Just ask Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya etc.
Afghanistan was NATO operation under UN mandate. Libya - NATO attacked under UN mandate. Iraq - From 2004 to 2011, NATO conducted a relatively small but important support operation in Iraq that consisted of training, mentoring and assisting the Iraqi Security Forces. NATO has no attacked Syria, Russia and Turkey have. ……… NATO has always UN mandate for its offensives. When is Russia going to get UN mandate for its offensives?
Current NATO nations bordering Baltic - Latvia, Lithuania. Estonia, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands and Norway. We only need Sweden and Finland to complete the set.
@@lancecahill5486 Because, like all autocratic nations, it suits them nicely to instil fear in their nations populace.

Russia have tried to be respectful towards west countries for 20+ years and even suggested Russia to join NATO. Of course, it's all got declined and instead of respectful relationship NATO and EU towards to Russia and extending back hand of the partnership took a good will of Russia as weakness and used the time to surround Russian borders to ensure Russia will be never independent again. So its all the consequences, NATO never been protective bloc, as history tells.

Russia has enough space on the Arctic ocean in the North.

And such a structure is not even that far fetched. It would be slightly longer than the closure dam in The Netherlands.

There are international waters still even if every single country is a NATO country. How do you not know this? It's not like where Swedish territorial waters end the next country begin. There is always an international waterway. What makes you think Russia was able to use Swedish or Finnish waters. Those nations would never allow it. It would be an incursion into sovereign water every time.
Those waters are considered an international passage by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Sweden can only block it to ships from a country that they are in open hostilities with. So now, yes Sweden can block it if it is part of NATO and hostilities break out. I am not sure what point you are trying to make. That they are international waters or are not.

What do they mean by saying that a sterling submarine is "even" quieter than a nuclear sub? I've served on the former type mentioned in the segment, and it has always been known that nuclear subs are notoriously loud in comparison to even conventional diesel-electrical driven ones, well, because they are nuclear. To cool a fission reaction is not exactly easy, and while diesel engines can be turned off (i.e. switching to electrical propulsion), nuclear reactions can not, hence they keep on producing noise, something that was known to be a problem long before we adopted the Sterling technique. It's the propulsion that defines the type, not weather it carries nuclear armaments or not. I'm not entirely sure how much you can trust this channel on technical details, and/or if it uses similar phrasing just to make it seem more interesting and "fantastic" as news goes, but I'm not impressed.

Why the hell are the Russians in Kaliningrad (Konigsburg) anyway, ethnically cleansed at the end of WW2 and then filled with Russian nationals. It had been a German city for 1000 years.
Sweden and Finland should stand strong against Putin's bullying tactics and threats, and against Turkey's blackmailing attempts to force these very advanced, peace-loving, and competent nations to compromise on their principles and rights to regional security. It is commendable that the UK and the US are standing solidly with Finland and Sweden to dissuade Putin from 'jumping the gun'. The Finland-Russia boundary will double the NATO perimeter in one stroke with the addition of 830 miles. Also, between Sweden and Finland, they will limit Russian maritime access by encircling the Gulf of Bothnia, Gulf of Finland, and the Baltic Sea (together with the Baltic NATO countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland). Ireland, Ukraine, and Moldova should join NATO very soon to fill up critical geopolitical gaps in the overall NATO configuration.
All true, as well as the fact that Finland too has lost territory from Russia. The older people there no doubt understand this better, that Ukraine Finland have that in common, as well as a few other countries...
Swedish submarines are not the only one which sunk us carriers in stimulated exercise.. But indian sindhughosh class too did in the malabar exercise..... (They are Russian kilo class too)

And Russia underestimated Finland, Afghanistan and now Ukraine. If you are looking for lessons from history it's that Russia's only offensive win was in WW2 when it had all that material support from the West. Good in defence - really poor in offence.

Interesting commentary, but. You make a point of NATO countries use Boyes to monitor submarines in the N Atlantic. And you don't think they do the same in the Baltic. Even with Finland not being a part of NATO, Estonia is. The Gulf of Finland is narrow. You really believe that neither Estonia or Finland would not monitor the water between the territorial waters of the two countries? The strait between Denmark and Sweden is nearly as restrictive as the Bosperous in Turkey. Do you really believe that Denmark as a NATO member doesn't monitor marine traffic on Swedens side of the strait. Of course it does, just like Sweden will monitor marine traffic on Denmarks side of the border. Don't git me wrong. The article would be insightful to many people. However, it was incomplete. Why? Time restraint on the length of the article?
Yeah. No. Putin has messed up. He needs to swallow his pride and get out of Ukraine. So wrong he's sacrificing his own people and Ukrainians when no-one was planning to attack Russia. Europe and USA wanted friendly relations. Trade and prosperity. Putin's paranoia needs to stop.

Lol, Russia's whole army are hillbillies. And it shows. Nordic countries are all on the same page now, when it comes to Russia. Stay at home Russians. Fix your own country, then you won't have to invade and steal from your neighbours.
The idea that the Baltic will no longer have free passage - is nonsense - the Danish Straits allow free passage of ALL vessels, it is an international water route. Only in case of a war between Denmark (NATO) will the straits be closed. During the cold war, we had lot’s of mine layers, these may come back - but not be used unless there is a clear war. Look up Route TANGO going from Skagerak to the Baltic
I’m a little confused by the maps. He started off by telling us that the Russian Baltic Fleet is headquartered in Kaliningrad which is the old German Koenigsburg sandwiched between modern Poland and modern Lithuania.

The Baltic was never Russia's to lose, most of it is an international waterway, and the US and its allies believe in freedom of navigation for all countries including China and Russia. Admittedly, in a war with NATO the Russians would find sailing through the Baltic a difficult proposition with NATO members on both shores. At present neither Finland or Sweden are members of NATO and not likely to be for a while. In any case, they are both sober and responsible countries and unlike some I could name are not likely to pick a quarrel with Russia. We dont need trouble makers in NATO.
Within a year or so, it won't make much matter anymore. The west is actively seeking to decouple with russia. Russia has no to need to go the west anymore. They have china and india and the middle east to keep them busy.

Finland and Sweden are even bigger "troublemakers" when it comes to Russia than most of NATO. Also, "picking a quarrel" with Russia is in reality "not shilling" for Russia in context.
@@tylerrobinson1149 you are brainwashed by the war hawk stoltenberg, Truss, and the american military industrial complex. When was the last time you bought something made in Russia? NEVER! How can you hurt russia when you have never bought anything from them? Russia has been under sanctions since day one. There are over 1,000 sanctions on them. They basically cannot buy or sell anything of intellectual value. Their economy is used the limited interaction with the west. How can additional sanctions hurt them? Russia's debt ratio is one of the lowest in the world at 19.48% of its GDP. On the contrary, In 2020, the national debt of the United States was at around 133.92% of their GDP. UK at 85%. Who should worry more?
Sweden subs alone could destroy his fleet with ease! And I belive and it’s been proven that there electric subs are far more advanced and stealthy than Russian attack subs
They could, but it would be very butt clenchy, as Sweden only has three of these little subs and practically no surface force outside of fast attack craft and patrol vessels. Sweden could hold its own, but not necessarily dominate the Baltic.
@@totalnerd5674 We are weak now yes, but you forget that Sweden has two more Sterling-powered subs, and when they are retired 2022, we get two new A26's. And then we have 5 stealth corvettes too, and it's said they are getting AA-missiles now. But I think we could dominate. We have massive stores of RBS15 missiles. Air, ground and ship launched. Hard to operate in the Baltic with them raining down on you, well if you aren't a sub that is.
I am in awe… have never seen a UA-cam presentation that assumed greater stupidity of its viewer. Sweden and Finland were allowing Russian access in the Baltic unobserved? You deserve a Plaque just for that statement alone.
We don't know that for a fact. And it is quite possible they don't share the info. Sharing it means you lose the benefits of neutrality and gain no protection from NATO. I am sure they have on rare occasions, on a regular basis? Would be quite stupid. And, he has to report what is known, not what you suspect.
Is there any reason why you need to use those whoosing noises when you change slides as you speak? It's hard enough trying to understand your accent. Also your knowledge of subs and subclasses is woefully wrong. It would be best if you spoke of only things you can verify. Otherwise you bring doubt to everything you say.
I feel this Reportage is somehow out of credibility all point how awfull would be for Russia if Nato attacks but... what this guys fail to acknowledge is that Nato is a Defence Organization. Putin or whom ever is in chair would know that would be a bad idea atack Nato for a billion reasons... and they know it giving their disadvantages personally think Russia main Issue is Money bcuz they would now have to deploy more troops along the border thats a pain for logistics and feed and train Troops a month is not that cheap.
There going to slowly strangle Russia! Economically, technology, no access to Milatary grade semiconductors, Russian interest rates are already at 18% soon they will crash completely….
Yeah and than if it goes wrong for Putin, yk he always has his nuclear weapons so that's no good either, let's pray that war doesn't happen, for Russia's civilians And NATO civilians, and the world
Here someone finally mentioned Putin and his tendency to threaten Nuclear war if Russia does not get its way. Someone should remind him how many nuclear warheads are aimed directly at the Kremlin headquarters in Moscow. Someone should school Putin on what Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) really means. Before you push that button President Putin, think of the distinct possibility that Russians could be wiped out to a man never to blotch the annals of history again.

in the baltic sea, Russia has got hundreds of tactic nuclear weapons which make no mistake will ultimately be used if Russia find itself in a very big trouble. what you don't understand, in these regions ( baltic, black sea..) Russia has a escalation advantage, it can easily use tactic nuclear weapons which the US or France could not use. Do you really think that the US will risk an intercontinental nuclear war just to save Ukraine, Poland, Finland or Sweden? if you think so, then your reality is not only real but absurd. The US will fight Russia only by Proxy as long as Tactic nuclear weapons are not used. The moment that it starts to be used, the US will pack its staff and flee.
and what makes you think Russia will risk a nuclear war over baltics? 🤣🤣 Russian oligarchs are losing shit over their million dollars yachts seized, do you think they would be willing to spend rest of their lives in bunkers?
Sending the most powerful weapons prayer for Ukraine GOD bless all who helped Ukraine condemnation for devil Putin for various war crimes against humanity
I love the nonsense war plan where a single Finnish company would enter deep inside Russia to destroy roads, bridges and electric lines leading to city of Murmansk. This is entirely plausible plot only in Bollywood.
Well, this gives Russia a strong incentive to go immediately nuclear when hostilities with NATO should arise. Brings back the Cold War feeling. Good job guys, for pushing the Doomsday Clock closer to the last second.
Sweden always has Finland's back and Finland does the same for Estonia. Latvia and Lithuania are the only true Balts in a linguistic sense but they always roll with Estonia and all three have a strong security relationship with all of the Nordic countries. The Baltics might be tiny but they punch above their weight and they form a potent bloc along with Poland (plus the rest of the Intermarium) and the Nordics.
Finns ❤Estonians. 👨❤👨
Actually, Finland was a colony of Sweden for hundreds of years until Sweden lost the war to Russia and this territory became part of Russia. It was then that Finland appeared . Before that, there is no such country
Did you ever notice that most of the population in Finland speak English. I think they are very Western and looking toward the future while Russia dwells on the past!
Don't forget New Zealand. We may have a long way to paddle our canoes but we are with you.
@thetimekillerx What are you trying to say? Do you mean that countries which does not speak English language are non civilized? This thought shows how imperialist and racist you are. In the following countries people don't speak English or only hotel staff and tourist guides speak basic English the list is China, Gambia, Saudi Arabia, Malawi, Uganda, Italy, Ukraine, Russia, Algeria, Argentina, Spain, France, Georgia, Yemen, Chile, Albania, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Swaziland, Colombia, Tanzania many places in Japan and India, many more to list. Do you say people in these countries are non civilized. The reason for spread of English is not because of civilization it's because of cruel colonization of British, who invaded other countries and killed, looted, plundered, raped, slaved but you call themselves as civilized and others as non civilized, shame on you.
Finland and Sweden are practically NATO members. They do training exercises with NATO on a regular basis.
NATO was created against Soviet Union - Communist Expansionism . Since SU and Communism do not exist anymore, there is no real role for NATO. But US is using NATO to submerge Russia ...NATO was a total failure in Afghanistan the last 10+ years . They could not defeat Taliban which ironically the USA created during 79-89 against the Soviet-baked Kabul!
Yes its mindbuggling . All those joint manouvers and turks never seemed to bother before . As well as finnish and Swedish fighting with other natomembers i various conlictzones
Exactly- and the British and the French
Have promised interim protection already-
The geeks who buy copies of MILITARY monthly- should know this
In the past (not in the recent) Russia has also done training exercises with NATO. That alone does not make a country part of NATO...
(Switzerland and Austria have trained NATO Specialists and heli pilots in mountain warfare and flying in mountinous regions for decades, doesn't make them NATO countries either. )

People must be constantly reminded that NATO is a defensive organization. If Russia were a good boy, no one would bother it. But Russian blood is rich with brutal imperialist ambitions and being peaceful to its small neighbors has been historically impossible to do.
read the NATO charter for which it was created and for what purpose it approached the borders of Russia.
You're so naive and brainwashed. All war departments are called defense departments. It doesn't mean it's for defense only. Lookup the wars NATO was involved in. These wars weren't defensive at all. How is Afghanistan a threat to NATO, yet NATO was in Afghanistan. And NATO was also in Iraq, where US lies about WMD bombed that place to the stone age and murdered millions. These actions aren't defensive.
@@bvang8370 Don't mix NATO with NATO members. Did NATO declare on Iraq or was it USA that did it? Australia was in it too so that's really not NATO.
Then Afghanistan, did NATO attack or was it some terrorist thing that hit USA. Did NATO retaliate or was it USA and some of its allies?(all NATO members didn't attack). I do see Russia on one list when searching for that War. India, Russia and Iran supported it :D

You might have a look into any halfway decent list of 9/11 perpetrators .... no Afghans whatsoever, more Saudis than any other nationality - NATO and the US do support Saudis in destroying Yemen though for some reason .... And my country (Germany, NATO-vassall and U.S. outpost No. one in the world) was part of the NATO occupation of Afghanistan for 20 bloody years - while, following international Law of Nations, the Sovjet Red Army was, once more, invited/called for by the Afghan regime of 1978 which was about to build a laizist, socialist Nation while the US and NATO members fueled the civil war turning it into an international proxy war by supporting the very islamist terrorists with weaponry and intel they then started to oppress in the 20 years of occupation after the "vengeance bombing" of Afghanistan following the Saudi financed and organized attack of 9/11 in October 2001 ..... The facts aren't pretty, while they still are facts, and International Law of Nations _does_ have a factual paragraph for military support following an invitation/ask for said support from an elected government, while the same very international Law of Nations does not know "regime change" or supporting/weaponizing colorful terrorist groups and civil unrest like it happened in Ukraine in 2003/2004 and once more in 2013/2014, the latter widely known as "Euro-Maidan", which was a violent putsch then Vice President Joe B. orchestrated with the support of a lot of U.S. agencies and organizations like Soros' "open society foundation", an international terror-financing front office the U.S. services use in a lot of countries (also financing/organizing civil unrest against Lukaschenko in Belarus after his reelection in 2020 for example). We today even know (or could know, would we want to) _why_ then Vice President Joe B. organized the Oligarchs' putsch of 2014 once we look into his son Hunter's curriculum vitae and financial matters .... nothing whatsoever International Law of Nations would know of as legal or even legitimate acts, that mingling with local "interest groups" for an unfair share of the loot, to put it mildly ....
Except Finland was always with NATO, though not officially
If not OFFICIALY then not adequately
Excellent analysis of the real impact of Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
I’ll start watching videos on Asia to get a better understanding of what is happening in India, China, etc.
It's paid western propaganda
Some errors. The submarine in your animation comes from St Petersburg, not Kaliningrad. Your red coastal line goes across Kaliningrad which is part of Russia. Submarines can go from Kaliningrad to Denmark without going through NATO, so what you said isn't true.
The line is red because the port of Kaliningrad is not safe now Polish waters that they have sensors that can pick it up. Also if it leaves that port, satellites see it, it is obviously going somewhere, and there is no where it can go undetected. Though you're right the line is wrong and one would expect better from a news org.
Kaliningrad was once part of Prussia.
He meant without an active detection system from that former neutral region.
He said without being detected, but now Sweden and Finland can share their info with nato they can't go undetected
So why comment- as long as you know….
It’s fine
Hurray for Sweden and Find land. good move.
I think this will be bad. Cuba will be busy too
It is self destructive move ... West is just playing with finland and sweden ... Remember neighbor can't be changed ... If west was so powerful it could have save ukraine but as u can see west is just a propaganda and mouthful
Anyway just remember one thing History do repeat and presently US is repeating same by using europe as war ground and making huge profit out of it. Only difference is UK acting similar to US being a NON EU member.
suffering will be for those who are neighbors to russia !!!
If no one else, Putin and Russia deserve the captivity they will experience for the many wrongs they have heaped upon humanity.
Thanks Ukraine for its bravery they gave the courage to Finland and Sweden to join nato!
And they gave courage to the whole world to join the fight
Stirling engines are interesting. Their energy source is the heat differential between the inside and outside of the sub.
Really, really quiet
Great piece of work! Thanks for explaining how the addition of Finland & Sweden makes the world a safer place.
Thank you for additional knowledge crux
Moskova was not sunk. It merely decided to self-identify as the newest submarine in the Russian Navy is all.

Thank you CRUX !
Why would NATO suddenly want to Attack Russia? I don't think Finland or NATO would wish to attack Russia, unless Russia decides to do something absolutely stupid.
Finland is Worried about Russian attack that's why it wants to join NATO, and what Russia has done in the ukrainian, who can blame Finland and Sweden. I don't think Russia has anything to be worried about unless it's planing more invasions.
The Baltic sea is pretty shallow but some salinity effects are making tracking submarines somewhat difficult. The Kola is where they have the big submarines and a lot of military installations so that may be more critical for Russia. Likely they will have no way to avoid secret rockets, cruise missiles, and drones launched from the rocks of Finland, Sweden, and Norway. NATO is for defense but in the Russian mindset, they will have to meet this challenge and pay the price which might be substantial.
LOL ask the people of Belgrade how defensive NATO is.
@@mitchyoung93 Take a wider context and tell me you think the stop of the Serbian atrocities was not a good thing. It should have been done earlier and more forcefully. And then again Belgrade was not terror bombed as the Russians do. Still, it is correct to question some decisions but please be factual.
@@bjrnhjortshjandersen1286 1) Serbia was terror bombed at least as much as the Russians have done (I would argue most Russian strikes have been pintpoint). A civilian train was hit. Bridges were destroyed, the Chinese embassy hit etc.
2) 'Serbia atrocities' were grossly exaggerated, esp with regard to the 1999 NATO bombing (my main concern). In fact the KLA/UCK was in a war against Federal Republic of Yugoslavia forces and committed acts of terror on the internationally recognized territory of FRY. Yugoslavia responded with a conventional counter-insurgency campaign. Naturally people started moving out of the conflict zone, but this was spun as 'ethnic cleansing'.
3) I had a front seat view to all of this, NATO not only acted as the KLA/UCK strategic bomber command, but as the KLA/UCK tactical air arm.
@@mitchyoung93 The Serbian atrocities were sickening - and well documented.
Russian bombing has been anything but 'pin point' - 30k civilians killed - or are you saying that Putin aimed specifically at them?
Serbia was doing exactly what Hitler did and Putin is doing - expanding territory and not giving a damn about civilian lives.
@@mitchyoung93 I seem to remember Sarajevo being shelled indiscriminately and children being killed by snipers. As well as the Srebrenica massacre. Also, supporting a civilian war against Croatians and Bosnians. I know some of the people involved in that war. Serbian nationalism was destructive and the military was used as a tool of oppression. Not that the Serbs were the only ones. NATO was very reluctant but the atrocities by supported militant groups became too much for the public opinion to accept.
The widespread "pinpoint" Russia shelling and bombing of civilian areas in Ukraine is also not acceptable. Actually, it is even worse when this is done deliberately. The support for Ukraine is overwhelming and for Serbia to be siding with Russia just gives a good reason to keep them out of the EU.
Russia/Soviet control of the Baltic Sea has been at best by the skin of there teeth. Much like the Black Sea Fleet, is virtually land lock due to other Nations control access to this Sea.
Something i have never understood is why some people put a lot of importance on the Black sea fleet . Yes its useful now but for anything involving NATO its a lame duck
Very nicely presented. Thanks for posting
Erdogan would be crazy for blocking Finland and Sweden joining NATO. In limiting Russian access to the Baltic, Turkey controls the only easy access to trade Russia has, through the Black Sea. This would make Turkey much more powerful than it already is currently.
Turkey has the most powerful army in the region.
Nato is grateful for their help, but keeping watchful eyes on them.

It's 90% a museum peace fleet anyway and with Russia's economy is never going to be anything else. So this is probably a good
thing for Putin and he should thank Nato as he couldn't afford the Baltic fleet anyway. To think Putin caused all this makes me smile.

Great explanation. Thank you.
A good look at the world map would show that Russia is surrounded by NATO countries, and one has to wonder why Russia is nervous about that.
Because Russia has attacked every one of its neighbors and now they are joining NATO
Look at that map again and see that alot of the boarder Finland have is against a neighbour country that's have a history to invade none NATO neighbours.
So you probobly understand why they just in some month after Russia invaded another neighbour country want more protection like NATO.
And have not Russia a Huge millitary and Nuke protection? Why would NATO attack them and destroy the Earth?
Russia is NOT surrounded by NATO countries - for example China isn't a NATO country. Russia's problem is that it occupied many countries in Eastern Europe after WWII and strangled freedom of speech, action and thought. When the Soviet Union collapsed these countries naturally wanted to ensure that Russia could never again invade and control them - so they joined the one organization that could ensure mutual protection against Russian aggression - NATO. So far from Russia being nervous, they are instead beligerant, aggressive and paranoid. They are also the aggressors in Ukraine and have fed their population a litany of lies and half-truths to explain away the unpalatable fact that they are acting like fascists, whilst simultaneously denying their own population access to the real truth. Only someone who is niave or perhaps a pro-Russian troll could believe otherwise
Russia's not nervous about Nato to its west - Putin is just a deluded and paranoid old man that's the worst thing that happened to Russia since Stalin.
Russia being nervous about NATO is like a bank robber being nervous about banks' security guards: it makes robbing banks much riskier. But if you _don't_ intend to rob a bank, then you _don't care_ about those guards.
good stuff sir!!
That because of Putin attack Ukraine.Sleeping Finland & Sweden is beginning to Think about Russia.

Good analysis!
NATO is not a defense organization. As a matter of fact, it regularly engages in war outside of the North Atlantic region where it gets its name. Just ask Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya etc.
Yep
now they want to expand to the pacific
Afghanistan was NATO operation under UN mandate.
Libya - NATO attacked under UN mandate.
Iraq - From 2004 to 2011, NATO conducted a relatively small but important support operation in Iraq that consisted of training, mentoring and assisting the Iraqi Security Forces.
NATO has no attacked Syria, Russia and Turkey have.
………
NATO has always UN mandate for its offensives. When is Russia going to get UN mandate for its offensives?
The answer is an astounding YES!!!!
Current NATO nations bordering Baltic - Latvia, Lithuania. Estonia, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands and Norway. We only need Sweden and Finland to complete the set.
That was always the preferred idea
Then you ask why Russia is nervous about NATO.
@@lancecahill5486 Because, like all autocratic nations, it suits them nicely to instil fear in their nations populace.

UKRAINE WAR
Cos this war indeed happen 8 years ago since me is a Malaysian or the same year, MH17 tragedy happen.
Cos civil war started in Ukraine after the opposition dethroned the govt of Ukraine using riots or how the country splitted since the old govt have alot of supporters or how they won election.
But the worst happen or how rebel borrowed a BUK from Russia since the new govt use airstrike on rebel area.
BUK is a defensive weapon, you cannot shoot other if they not flying or how MH17 tragedy happen.
Russia take back their BUK but Ukraine govt still use airstrike on rebel area or what known as Donbass today.
Russia ignored this war for 8 years since both side were Ukraine people but one day, they cannot tolerate anymore since many seek their help cos airstrike were daily routine and backed by video.
Russian say Ukraine were wrong using airstrike on resident area but they show Putin a middle finger.
When right or wrong cannot stand as conclusion mean win or lose must be used to force out an outcome or how war happen.
Russia win, Ukraine must stop using airstrike on resident area and accept Donbass independent.
Inshort, what happen in Ukraine today till bombed like living hell cos Ukraine should not disturb a sleeping tiger or that indeed the consequences since everyone aware on military aspect, Ukraine no match compared to Russia.
Inshort, if Russia have interest in Ukraine, this war should happen 8 years ago, not today.
And why not, you convince everyone here, Russia attack Ukraine mean they were wrong?
Cos Russian see themselves responsible on ensuring peace in countries that once made of soviet or why they sent army to Khadastan recently before invading Ukraine since Putin said they have an agreement.
Malaysian should be considered as stranger in this conflict since they won't bother at all, if MH17 tragedy did not happen. Someone went thru the whole thing cos he want to know the truth insense, who causes MH17 tragedy

Imagine if Finland and Estonia decide to build a dam between both countries, effectively totally cutting off Russian vessels entering St. Petersburg.

The people of St. Petersburg would directly and indirectly feel the effects from even a small tactical nuclear blast if it were detonated in that region of the Baltic Sea between Helsinki and Tallin. Only time will tell the lengths of depravity that putler will sink to though, so let's all hope he's not stupid enough to use them. Nobody deserves that fate, not even the russian civilians.

2:29 lol wut.. That wasn't a free passage. That is Swedish territorial waters where that sub is travelling. That would be an incursion and Swedish military would send sub hunting vessels.
There are international waters still even if every single country is a NATO country. How do you not know this? It's not like where Swedish territorial waters end the next country begin. There is always an international waterway. What makes you think Russia was able to use Swedish or Finnish waters. Those nations would never allow it. It would be an incursion into sovereign water every time.
Those waters are considered an international passage by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Sweden can only block it to ships from a country that they are in open hostilities with. So now, yes Sweden can block it if it is part of NATO and hostilities break out. I am not sure what point you are trying to make. That they are international waters or are not.
@niels lund And then, if Russia is _at war_ with NATO, in that case, the Russian vessels indeed can't get in or out of the Baltic sea.

But the worst happen or how rebel borrowed a BUK from Russia since the new govt use airstrike on rebel area.
BUK is a defensive weapon, you cannot shoot other if they not flying or how MH17 tragedy happen.
Russia take back their BUK but Ukraine govt still use airstrike on rebel area or what known as Donbass today.
Russia ignored this war for 8 years since both side were Ukraine people but one day, they cannot tolerate anymore since many seek their help cos airstrike were daily routine and backed by video.
Russian say Ukraine were wrong using airstrike on resident area but they show Putin a middle finger.
When right or wrong cannot stand as conclusion mean win or lose must be used to force out an outcome or how war happen.
Russia win, Ukraine must stop using airstrike on resident area and accept Donbass independent.
Inshort, what happen in Ukraine today till bombed like living hell cos Ukraine should not disturb a sleeping tiger or that indeed the consequences since everyone aware on military aspect, Ukraine no match compared to Russia.
Inshort, if Russia have interest in Ukraine, this war should happen 8 years ago, not today.
And why not, you convince everyone here, Russia attack Ukraine mean they were wrong?
Cos Russian see themselves responsible on ensuring peace in countries that once made of soviet or why they sent army to Khadastan recently before invading Ukraine since Putin said they have an agreement.
Malaysian should be considered as stranger in this conflict since they won't bother at all, if MH17 tragedy did not happen. Someone went thru the whole thing cos he want to know the truth insense, who causes MH17 tragedy
STRANGER SEE THE CLEAREST - Chinese proverb.

@@dannychong7842 True man. There is still no answer to why the Malaysian plane took the wrong route over Donbas. They say, it was to avoid storm, but why didnt other aircrafts do the same. The Malaysian MH17 is a still a mystery. i don't believe a word of western investigation.
And yet, Putler still hasn’t seemed to get the message...
He holds more nukes and is allied with a few other regional super powers in the east ,more nukes than any one. I think the real question is why haven't we gotten the message yet .
What do they mean by saying that a sterling submarine is "even" quieter than a nuclear sub? I've served on the former type mentioned in the segment, and it has always been known that nuclear subs are notoriously loud in comparison to even conventional diesel-electrical driven ones, well, because they are nuclear. To cool a fission reaction is not exactly easy, and while diesel engines can be turned off (i.e. switching to electrical propulsion), nuclear reactions can not, hence they keep on producing noise, something that was known to be a problem long before we adopted the Sterling technique. It's the propulsion that defines the type, not weather it carries nuclear armaments or not. I'm not entirely sure how much you can trust this channel on technical details, and/or if it uses similar phrasing just to make it seem more interesting and "fantastic" as news goes, but I'm not impressed.
Thank you for this info.

Thank you for the 'reality check'. I guarantee you the American Navy knows the precise location of EVERY Russian ship on this planet.😇
thank you very much for the analysis. I enjoyed listening to it across with the images. I hope Sweden and Finland join NATO.
Finland an Sweden must be very happy with joining NATO. In a first strike they can now expect Russian nuke bombs. Once Russia has those rockets in place near the Finnish border nothing will be able to stop them. They'll be seconds away from major cities in Finland an Sweden. Sleep tight.
and russia has 1000 ,or 1200 nukes aimed at it by US /Nato forces. and even 'just ' right now with the security guarantee by the UK , to Sweden and Finland , the Brits have a couple or few hundred nukes ,enough to give even russia a pretty bad day , not to mention the Finnish President and Swedish PM stood in the Rose Garden ,of the White House couple days ago being welcomed ,by the US . a not subtle message

Sweden and Finland should stand strong against Putin's bullying tactics and threats, and against Turkey's blackmailing attempts to force these very advanced, peace-loving, and competent nations to compromise on their principles and rights to regional security. It is commendable that the UK and the US are standing solidly with Finland and Sweden to dissuade Putin from 'jumping the gun'. The Finland-Russia boundary will double the NATO perimeter in one stroke with the addition of 830 miles. Also, between Sweden and Finland, they will limit Russian maritime access by encircling the Gulf of Bothnia, Gulf of Finland, and the Baltic Sea (together with the Baltic NATO countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland). Ireland, Ukraine, and Moldova should join NATO very soon to fill up critical geopolitical gaps in the overall NATO configuration.
All true, as well as the fact that Finland too has lost territory from Russia. The older people there no doubt understand this better, that Ukraine Finland have that in common, as well as a few other countries...
Will CRUX will try to be impartial as it used to be? .... That will be a hell of a headline
What is Russia going to do with submarines? Play Nessie??😂😂😂
Swedish submarines are not the only one which sunk us carriers in stimulated exercise.. But indian sindhughosh class too did in the malabar exercise..... (They are Russian kilo class too)
The Polish/Lithuanian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, and Hitler and his Nazi super race all underestimated the Russian Bear.
And paid dearly for their mistakes.
and russia made their people pay the price, loads of soviet soldiers got captured and later killed because of stalin's policy.... and the same is happening again...their authoritarian leaders don't give a fuck about their people and just send them in to die in ukraine...i hope soon the russian people will drop this absolute lunatic....

Not the mythical Russian teddy........the Russian winter, get it right.
And Russia underestimated Finland, Afghanistan and now Ukraine.
If you are looking for lessons from history it's that Russia's only offensive win was in WW2 when it had all that material support from the West.
Good in defence - really poor in offence.

Haaa! Not only that, that piece of Western land, did belong to Poland, be funny if Poland reclaimed St Petersburg / Kaliningrad
Kaliningrad was never Polish either
Kaliningrad was German (Prussian to be precise)
@thetimekillerx Kalingrad was polish after WWI and before WWII. The German invasion famously began with a pre WWI battleship sailing into the city as a mobile artillery battery. You knew it belonged to Poland and were being disingenuous why? Because you thought others would not know?
@@ddoumeche Interesting, thanks for your input, I'm just confused why a Russian MP would accuse currently Poland of wanting to take it back, if anything the original name Königsberg suggests it was German. Maybe the Kremlin in their paranoia is just imagining Poland wants it 😂

As far as I'm concerned, Baltic sea is a done deal. That ship sailed weeks ago. Now, let's address the black sea...
Hmm, I like the sound of that "NATO Lake"
That is why agreement must be reached cause there will be nuclear tensions or other for any inconveniences faced by Russia. Serious times ahead
Moscow doesn't honor agreements.
Finland and the Soviet Union had signed a non-aggression pact in 1932.
Stalin invaded Finland anyway in 1939.
Zacha you should give concrete solutions to present problem based on your kknowledge of wars tweaked to present conditions
Interesting commentary, but. You make a point of NATO countries use Boyes to monitor submarines in the N Atlantic. And you don't think they do the same in the Baltic. Even with Finland not being a part of NATO, Estonia is. The Gulf of Finland is narrow. You really believe that neither Estonia or Finland would not monitor the water between the territorial waters of the two countries? The strait between Denmark and Sweden is nearly as restrictive as the Bosperous in Turkey. Do you really believe that Denmark as a NATO member doesn't monitor marine traffic on Swedens side of the strait. Of course it does, just like Sweden will monitor marine traffic on Denmarks side of the border. Don't git me wrong. The article would be insightful to many people. However, it was incomplete. Why? Time restraint on the length of the article?
NATO is not "joinable". Neither country will be admitted. It takes every vote from every country to join and Turkey already has said no.
Days of Imperialism are over Mr Putin 😅
This video was very informative. Thank you.
Yeah. No. Putin has messed up. He needs to swallow his pride and get out of Ukraine. So wrong he's sacrificing his own people and Ukrainians when no-one was planning to attack Russia. Europe and USA wanted friendly relations. Trade and prosperity. Putin's paranoia needs to stop.
Can we get more crux with that awesome narrator plz
I have had this recurring nightmare lately , It seems that I keep seeing from the side of Russia a lot of ball of fire ascending towards these little hilly billy nordic countries & they simply vanish . I think something bad is going to happen to those countries provoked the sleepy Bear .
May your dreams come true. 😅
Lol, Russia's whole army are hillbillies. And it shows. Nordic countries are all on the same page now, when it comes to Russia. Stay at home Russians. Fix your own country, then you won't have to invade and steal from your neighbours.
Going to happen in Russia. Lots of hatred from lots of neighbors.
Russia deserves fire
Nobody in Europe is having nightmares, maybe you should see a doctor.
Good. Regards from Malaysian utuber
The idea that the Baltic will no longer have free passage - is nonsense - the Danish Straits allow free passage of ALL vessels, it is an international water route. Only in case of a war between Denmark (NATO) will the straits be closed. During the cold war, we had lot’s of mine layers, these may come back - but not be used unless there is a clear war. Look up Route TANGO going from Skagerak to the Baltic
I’m a little confused by the maps. He started off by telling us that the Russian Baltic Fleet is headquartered in Kaliningrad which is the old German Koenigsburg sandwiched between modern Poland and modern Lithuania. He maps and charts keep showing the Russian fleet travelling from St Petersburg which is on the other side of Estonia. Am I supposed to follow the words or the maps?
Will Putin Lose The Baltic Sea? Not sure. Where did he see it last?
I saw it today….or was it the Caspian Sea?
Lol
I didn’t know Putin “had” the Baltic Sea.
@Biljana Cvjetinovic even before Finland& Sweden likely joining now, with Sweden as a Nato partner,previously ,almost a Nato ally ,nd not friends with russia, the Baltic, largely,was Nato waters .now with both countries probly joining,Nato can control even the Gulf of Finland,the Finns with coastal anti ship missile batteries,the Swedes with their stealth ships, also subs , not to mention Poland, Germany,the Baltic states ,Denmark ,other Nato countries too .russia has no chance there now
Hey Finland, does it worth it to please US with joining NATO while loosing:
-Electricity supply from Russia
-Gas supply from Russia
-Loosing freight traffic passage through Saimaa Canal
-Loosing neutrality status and as a result Russian "Islander" missiles are already on the way to Finland border
-Lost very generous Russian tourists
and many more...
What do you get from NATO membership? Military bases with lots of army ammunition and as a result potential target for Russian rockets.

NATO would be crazy to attack Russia on its own territory
Yes, and that's why they would never do it.
So Russia have nothing to be afraid of from NATO.
But Russia have always invaded their neighbour that's not NATO, that's why Finland and Sweden want to join NATO.
@@henrikl4244 I said NATO Would Be Crazy to attack Russia on its own Territory, I Didn't say they would not do that, and Russia will not be cowed down, if there is an existential threat to Russia it will not hesitate to wipe the allies of, When you push someone to the wall you can't push them further the wall then push back for them, However Finland and Sweden decision to join Nato is there own, I Hope when Push comes to Shove the Leader to Finland and Sweden Will Stay in there Capital and Fight Like President Saleh and President Zelensky, and Not charter a Flight to Washington DC.
The Baltic was never Russia's to lose, most of it is an international waterway, and the US and its allies believe in freedom of navigation for all countries including China and Russia. Admittedly, in a war with NATO the Russians would find sailing through the Baltic a difficult proposition with NATO members on both shores. At present neither Finland or Sweden are members of NATO and not likely to be for a while. In any case, they are both sober and responsible countries and unlike some I could name are not likely to pick a quarrel with Russia. We dont need trouble makers in NATO.
Within a year or so, it won't make much matter anymore. The west is actively seeking to decouple with russia. Russia has no to need to go the west anymore. They have china and india and the middle east to keep them busy.
The point is that it is a political chess move that puts further restraints on Russia that includes sanctions economically they will continue to do worse and worse Russia is being brought into control by nato and the E.U. because they are aggressive and threatening with nuclear weapons. Hopefully direct conflict will be avoided.
@@tylerrobinson1149 How can you brought Russia under control and then avoid war with NATO. Russia has made it clear that they will use Nuke once their existence is threatened. This is a very heavy pregnant statement.

Also, "picking a quarrel" with Russia is in reality "not shilling" for Russia in context.

How can you hurt russia when you have never bought anything from them?
Russia has been under sanctions since day one. There are over 1,000 sanctions on them. They basically cannot buy or sell anything of intellectual value. Their economy is used the limited interaction with the west. How can additional sanctions hurt them?
Russia's debt ratio is one of the lowest in the world at 19.48% of its GDP.
On the contrary, In 2020, the national debt of the United States was at around 133.92% of their GDP. UK at 85%. Who should worry more?
You cannot lose something that you never possessed.
Sweden subs alone could destroy his fleet with ease! And I belive and it’s been proven that there electric subs are far more advanced and stealthy than Russian attack subs
They could, but it would be very butt clenchy, as Sweden only has three of these little subs and practically no surface force outside of fast attack craft and patrol vessels. Sweden could hold its own, but not necessarily dominate the Baltic.
@@totalnerd5674 We are weak now yes, but you forget that Sweden has two more Sterling-powered subs, and when they are retired 2022, we get two new A26's. And then we have 5 stealth corvettes too, and it's said they are getting AA-missiles now.
But I think we could dominate. We have massive stores of RBS15 missiles. Air, ground and ship launched.
Hard to operate in the Baltic with them raining down on you, well if you aren't a sub that is.

We don't know that for a fact. And it is quite possible they don't share the info. Sharing it means you lose the benefits of neutrality and gain no protection from NATO.

Strength in numbers.
in the baltic sea, Russia has got hundreds of tactic nuclear weapons which make no mistake will ultimately be used if Russia find itself in a very big trouble.
what you don't understand, in these regions ( baltic, black sea..) Russia has a escalation advantage, it can easily use tactic nuclear weapons which the US or France could not use.
Do you really think that the US will risk an intercontinental nuclear war just to save Ukraine, Poland, Finland or Sweden?
if you think so, then your reality is not only real but absurd.
The US will fight Russia only by Proxy as long as Tactic nuclear weapons are not used. The moment that it starts to be used, the US will pack its staff and flee.
