STOCKHOLM — Sweden and Finland’s accession to NATO will enhance the alliance’s missile defense posture through geographical and operational depth, allowing for the deployment of more air defense systems, officials and analysts say.
“When it comes to air defense it’s, of course, highly prioritized for Sweden and many other countries within the alliance,” Swedish defense minister Pål Jonson told Breaking Defense.
Jonson confirmed that Sweden has received NATO’s capability targets in various domains, but it is classified. “We can not, due to operation secrecy, go into it in any kind of details.”
